Japanese chocolate consumption is showing a growth trend, which is driven by a wide consumer base that can afford to purchase premium products on a daily basis.

In 2018, the total sales of chocolate products accounted for 4.12 billion EUR, a slight decline compared to the previous year but still a 650 million EUR increase compared to 2013. Japan represents more than 4 percent of the global chocolate market, making it one of the most attractive chocolate export destinations, and imported products constitute one-tenth of the total domestic volume.
