With a growing number of consumers prefering chocolate based desserts, there is a belief that food innovation will be the leader in growth of the food industry
Chocolate, the name itself conjures up a magical image ranging from the simple milk to bittersweet notes, to the gourmet flavour infused bite sized delight;, whatever your poison this sweet temptation can fix anything from a broken heart to a scrape on the knee, or melt an angry lover to simply make up with a long lost friend.
It is no wonder then that it is the fastest growing flavour within the patisserie arena and among the popularly used flavours in Asia and the world. More than half of all new launches, across the bakery and patisserie world, are chocolate based. Within the Asia–Pacific region itself, more than 70 per cent of consumers prefer chocolate based desserts, and that is a number that is steadily growing. A growing number of consumers are also of the belief that food innovation will be the leader in growth of the food industry. While keeping old favourites unchanged, newer creations will come to the fore, dance in the spotlight for a while and quietly fade away, like the cronut.
Many of these international trends occupy a fair amount of space within the Indian consumers’ mind space as well. Making it essential to produce a larger variety of beautiful products that taste memorable, and consistently so, and all this at a sweet price point too.
