The traditional chocolate segment witnessed the largest market share. Their popularity and the easy availability of cocoa as compared to carob are the main materials for artificial chocolate.

Besides that, owing to the growing desire for chocolate by customers, suppliers are opening shops at malls that will boost chocolate sales through supermarkets and hypermarkets in the coming years. The online segment is expected to see the highest CAGR over the projected period. Online sales channel has seen tremendous growth in the last few years owing to the growing proliferation of the internet in different countries.
