THE CHINESE CHOCOLATE MARKET

From an unpopular delicacy to the darling of the Chinese

In the 18th century, more precisely in 1705, chocolate arrived in China as a gift to the then Emperor Kangxi. Until a boom in the 1990s, however, the product was not one of the most popular in the country and was far from representing a fundamental item in its gastronomy.

Making an impression

In a movement leveraged mainly by large and developed urban centers, China is today the 9th country that buys more chocolate worldwide. Nonetheless, China’s per capita average consumption is 0.2 kg, below the world average of 0.9 kg.

In general, the market is dominated by the presence of foreign brands, such as Ferrero and Nestlé, seen by consumers as premium items and, therefore, more sophisticated. Despite this, Chinese brands have strived to establish a more incisive position in front of customers and bet on more diversified products and a strong presence in digital media.
