Top 10 Chocolate Trends for 2007

The report includes nearly 40 packed pages on the Top Ten Chocolate Trends for 2007, as well as my take on What's Hot, What's Not & What's Next! in the world of chocolate and chocolate products.

For the past fifteen years, confectionery leaders in manufacturing, mass and specialty retail and consumer packaged goods companies including the world's best-known brands, chocolate artisans and start-up entrepreneurs have purchased the report to glean insights into the hottest growth segments of the market, new product opportunity areas, and where chocolate is headed next. 

I’ve often covered controversial topics like  “what is premium?” and “is single origin a fad or an enduring trend?”, and coined phrases to capture key trends such as “from consumer to connoisseur” to describe our collective shift from “mindless munching” to “experiential indulgence”.  Even today, “imperfectly perfect” chocolates continue to dominate the superpremium artisanal segment of the market, as the chocolate artisan movement has evolved from grassroots to mainstream.

Everywhere we look, there are more chocolate choices than ever before.  And our intellectual and emotional obsession with chocolate shows every sign of continuing to build momentum. I look forward to sharing my chocolate expertise with you to help you stay one step ahead...
