While carob is perceived as a healthier alternative to cocoa, its distinct flavor profile may limit its acceptance among mainstream consumers. Marketing efforts must effectively communicate the benefits of carob powder, such as being caffeine-free and rich in fiber, to enhance consumer interest. Additionally, the limited cultivation of carob trees in Switzerland necessitates reliance on imports, exposing the market to fluctuations in international supply chains and potential trade barriers that could affect pricing and availability.
