Chocolate consumption in India is extremely low. Per capita consumption is around 160gms in the urban areas, compared to 8-10kg in the developed countries. In rural areas, it is even lower. Chocolates in India are consumed as indulgence and not as a snack food. Indian chocolate market grew at the rate of 10% pa in 70's and 80's, driven mainly by the children segment. In the late 80's, when the market started stagnating, Cadbury repositioned its Dairy Milk to any time product rather than an occasional luxury.
Its advertisement focused on adults rather than children. Cadbury's Five Star, the first count chocolate, was launched in 1968. Due to its resistance to temperature, the chocolate has become one of the most widely distributed chocolate in the country.
In the early 90's, high cocoa prices compelled manufacturers to raise product prices and reduce their advertisement budget affecting the volumes significantly. The launch of wafer chocolates Kit Kat and Perk spurred volume growth in the mid 90's. These chocolates positioned as snack food rather than on the indulgence platform compete with biscuits and wafers.
A strong volume growth was witnessed in the early 90's when Cadbury repositioned chocolates from children to adult consumption. The mid 90's saw the entry of new players like Nestle, which created categories like wafer chocolate and spurred growth.
