Cocoa Supplement

Chocolate supplements combine health and indulgence

Trend - The popularity of the modern wellness industry exists partly because it has a less restrictive approach than traditional diet culture does. This is evidenced in the emerging trend for supplements and vitamins made to be consumed in chocolate form.

Insight - Busy consumers who are looking to maintain their health also want to ensure that their approach to health doesn't impact their overall enjoyment of everyday activities. Brands that are able to combine nutrition with indulgence will be popular among consumers who aren't too restrictive in their approach to wellness.
Workshop Question - How is your brand offering consumers' wellness without sacrificing enjoyment?
Trend Themes
1. Functional Chocolate - Using chocolate as a delivery mechanism for functional ingredients like vitamins and botanicals is an emerging trend in the wellness industry.
2. Wellness Indulgence - Consumers are seeking products that provide health benefits without sacrificing indulgence, leading to the trend for supplements and treats that offer both.
3. On-the-go Solutions - Convenience is key for busy consumers, leading to the trend for functional bites and drops that can be taken on the go.
Industry Implications
1. Functional Foods - Creating and marketing functional chocolate products presents a disruption to the conventional supplement and vitamin industry, creating new opportunities for flavor and formulation innovations.
2. Wellness and Self-care - Brands in the wellness and self-care industry can incorporate functional chocolate products or ingredients to add indulgence to healthy habits.
3. Snack and Confectionary - Traditional snack and confectionary brands can leverage the trend for functional chocolate to create new product lines that appeal to health-conscious consumers.
