The global dark chocolate market was valued at almost USD 46 Billion in 2018, according to a new research by Research and Markets.

Dark chocolate, also known as ‘bittersweet’, is made from cocoa butter instead of fats such as palm and coconut oils. Dark chocolate carries a rich and intense flavor, and is an excellent source of flavonoids which contribute to its pigment.

Owing numerous health factors, the market for dark chocolate will reach a value of USD 62 billion by 2024. It will grow at a CAGR of nearly five percent during 2019-2024.
