Growth Indicators
Diabetes is a chronic disease which takes place when the pancreas in the body is unable to make insulin, or when the body cannot make good use of the insulin it produces. Diabetes is a metabolic disease that occurs when the blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. This kind of disease can strike anyone, from any walk of life. Diabetes is caused due to improper diet, increasing consumption of junk food and hectic lifestyles of individuals. Moreover, consumers are very concerned about the health characteristics of their food, and of environmental and social impact, now more than ever. This transition from a conventional mindset to a well-being-conscious one has compelled the manufacturers to come up with more innovative products to edify their product offerings. The increasing demand for low-calorie chocolate and the associated cost-cutting advantage of using sugar substitutes is perhaps considered to be the foremost reason for the growth of the sugar-free chocolate market. The increasing concern for diabetes and the need to have foods that help avoid diabetes, coupled with the numerous health benefits associated with the consumption of sugar free chocolates are some of the factors that are driving the growth of the global sugar free chocolate market.
Barriers
The high cost of sugar substitutes of natural sugar required to make sugar free chocolates coupled with the increasing preference of consumers towards normal chocolates in comparison to sugar free chocolates are some of the factors anticipated to impact negatively towards the growth of the global sugar free chocolate market.
Some of the affluent industry leader in the global sugar free chocolate market are Barry Callebaut, Venchi Chocolate, The Hershey Company, Godiva, Lindt & Sprungli, Russell Stover Chocolates, LLC, Asher’s Chocolate Co., Lily’s Sweets, Pascha Chocolate Co. and The Cacao Group, Inc.

March 2020: Venchi Chocolate has announced a partnership with an innovative dynamic discounting solution, UniCredit, developed by the fintech FinDynamic, for being its strategic partner for its products. With the tool that helps to optimize the working capital and further supports the supply chain, Venchi has aimed to support its suppliers.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
