The import shipments of drinking chocolate to Ireland in 2024 continued to be dominated by the UK, Poland, Italy, Netherlands, and Germany. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market. With a modest Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.52% from 2020 to 2024, the industry saw a notable growth spurt with a 15.53% increase in the growth rate from 2023 to 2024. This suggests a growing demand for drinking chocolate in Ireland, potentially driven by evolving consumer preferences and a rising interest in premium chocolate products.
