Multi-billion US Chocolate Industry
Because around 400 cocoa beans make 1 pound of chocolate, it takes over 200,000 tonnes of cocoa beans to satiate the big US chocolate industry. In 2023, the chocolate sector in the U.S. had a value of $27.07 billion, according to Mordor Research. But given the reigning shortage in world cocoa bean production, this quoted value is likely to suffer a deficit in 2024.
Hence, the U.S. chocolate industry is trying to recoup rising costs. One counter measure is shrinking the sizes of chocolate products while retaining the standard price, a technique known as “shrinkflation.” Below is a look at the average prices of cocoa products with their corresponding sizes by leading online retailers in April 2024.
The least expensive chocolate is dark chocolate at an average $5.35 per 27.7 oz box on Walmart or $9.36 per kg. The least expensive pure chocolate costs $9.36 per 12 oz or $24.1 per kg, while the most expensive pure organic chocolate is $1.65 per oz or $57.8 per kg.
