Thus, the rising trend of premiumization in the chocolate industry is expected to positively affect the growth of the global chocolates-containing alcohol market during the forecast period.

Challenge 

Low awareness of chocolates containing alcohol in developing countries is a challenge that affects market growth. Chocolates containing alcohol are mostly sold in most developed countries, such as the US. However, their penetration in developing countries, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities in developing countries, is low. Furthermore, developing countries face challenges such as the lack of awareness about the availability of different types of premium chocolates and the low purchasing power of consumers to spend on premium confectionery products such as chocolates containing alcohol.

Furthermore, in various other developing nations, the lack of awareness and low demand for confectionery products restrict both the production and adoption of such products. Therefore, before entering the market, market players must educate people about the benefits and health advantages of chocolates containing alcohol. Thus, the low awareness and lack of penetration in developing countries are expected to impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Chocolates Containing Alcohol Market Segmentation by Type

The wafers segment is expected to grow significantly in the global chocolates containing alcohol market in the next five years. Chocolate wafers are flat, circular pieces of chocolate that are typically prepared using premium chocolate. They are preferred by consumers owing to their versatility in the confectionery industry.

Furthermore, a number of compounds found in chocolate increase the synthesis of serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to emotions of happiness and well-being. Hence, the growing demand for mood-enhancement confectioneries is expected to fuel the growth of the wafers segment, thereby driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
