The Netherlands leads global cocoa bean imports with 1.45 million metric tons in 2024, followed by Germany and the United States at significant but lower levels. Over 2023, notable changes included increased imports by Guatemala (8.45%) and Mexico (4.13%), while countries like Kazakhstan (-2.33%) and China (-1.5%) saw declines. Five-year compound annual growth rates (CAGR) and year-on-year variations reflect stability in European markets with escalating interest in Asian countries like Japan and India, despite recent decreases.
Future trends to watch include potential growth in emerging markets amidst stable demand from established consumers. Increased environmental scrutiny and sustainability trends could influence sourcing practices and import volumes.
