The cocoa butter market is set to reach $75,605 million by 2025, driven by demand in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, with Europe leading consumption.
Cocoa butter is one of the most versatile cooking ingredients and is a key ingredient in the food and beverage industry. Discerning consumers are now demanding the highest quality texture, flavour, and appearance in the foodstuffs they consume, driving cocoa butter manufacturers to experiment with their products. The demand for cocoa butter is rising in the confectionary and dairy industry as novelty products have triggered exponential demand for cocoa liquor, cocoa powder, and cocoa butter.
The global cocoa butter market will record a CAGR of 5.1% from 2020 to 2025 and be worth US$75,605 million by the end of the forecast period.

Companies Launching Cocoa Butter Lipsticks to Capitalize on Texturing Agent Properties
Cocoa butter is primarily used in the food and beverages industry to prepare delectable confectionaries and baked goods. Recently, it has gained traction in the cosmetics industry as a texturing agent for skincare products. Cocoa butter is used to great effect in body butters, lotions, and lip sparkles. In 2018, American Dream launched two new cocoa butters– Lemon and Lavender. Further demand in the cosmetics industry is anticipated to benefit the cocoa butter market during the assessment period.
Medicinal Uses of Cocoa Butter Explain its Popularity as an OTC Pharmaceutical Drug
Consumers have steadily shifted towards traditional and herbal remedies as they are concerned about potential side-effects. Cocoa butter is rich in saturated fat, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and calories. Cocoa butter prevents dryness, soothes chapped lips, heals burns, averts ageing, boosts heart health, and raises immunity. It even eliminates stress and reduces exhaustion levels, making it sought after in OTC pharmaceutical products and suppositories.
West African Cocoa Butter Farmers Turn to China to Avert COVID-19 Fund Crunch
West Africa and South America are the largest producers of cocoa with the former accounting for 70% of global production. During the COVID-19 pandemic, cocoa producers in Ghana and Ivory Coast were starved of funds as demand for chocolate plunged in Europe. Thus, growers have turned to Chinese investment to build warehouses for storing cocoa beans to act as a hedge against fluctuating prices. African nations are increasingly eyeing China for funds and as a large market in the long term.

European Chocolatiers Cater to Tastes of Afficionados Driving Demand for Cocoa Butter
Per capita consumption of chocolate is significantly lower in China than Europe with the latter poised to dominate the cocoa butter market for the foreseeable future. European chocolatiers such as Nestle, Lindt, and Cadbury have a longstanding heritage in chocolate making. According to data from the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries, Germans and Swiss consumed 11 and 9.7 kgs of chocolate in 2018 – the world’s leading consumers. As per the International Cocoa Organization, the sales of leading chocolate companies was $73 billion in 2019 with European companies holding a lion’s share.
