Bakery holding the Major Share for Utilization of Compound Chocolate

Compound chocolate is the most commonly used chocolate in the baking industry in different products like cakes, pastries, desserts, cookies, and other products. Increasing demand for convenience and innovative products among consumers is driving the market players for the use of chocolate in different food products. The recent trend of using compound chocolate for decoration purposes is also driving the demand for it in the market. The shelf life of fresh baked goods enrobed with compound coating does not get affected because hard fat is used to adjust the melting point and carries enough seed to make necessary tempering. The market players are launching different types of processed bakery products like cookies and biscuits in the market with the addition of healthy ingredients along with chocolate which is grabbing consumer attraction. For instance, in November 2022, Mondelez International launched a range of Cadbury Bournvita Biscuits in Nigeria.
