I suppose everyone enjoys chocolate. Well, maybe not everyone, or not to the same extent. Global Consumer Outlook data from Statista show a significant disparity in chocolate consumption worldwide. Many individuals in Asia prefer other sweets to sate their sweet desire, despite the fact that the cocoa-based dessert is highly well-liked in many regions of Europe and the United States.
In terms of the league of chocoholics, Switzerland is in the lead with an excellent yearly per capita intake of 11.6 kilograms in 2021. Toblerone and Lindt are two of the most renowned brands in the nation’s great chocolate industry. With 5.7 kilos per person, neighboring Germany is also very high on the list, while the average annual chocolate consumption in the United States is 9 kilograms. According to Statista, India and China are at the other end of the spectrum, with per-capita consumption of just 1.0 and 0.2 kg, respectively.
