Material Trends in Chocolate Bar Packaging

Plastic remains the dominant material in chocolate bar packaging due to its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and excellent barrier properties that protect the product from moisture and air. In 2023, plastic accounted for 51.3% of the market share in the material segment. However, there is a noticeable shift towards sustainable materials, including paper, paperboard, and biodegradable plastics, as part of the industry's commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Packaging Formats and Consumer Preferences

Flow wraps are the most widely used packaging format, offering superior protection and cost-effectiveness. These wraps tightly encase chocolate bars, preserving freshness and extending shelf life. Additionally, the rise of premium and artisanal chocolates has led to an increased use of boxes and specialty packaging to enhance product appeal and cater to gifting occasions.
