The
on-the-go chocolate market will grow at just 1.3% CAGR globally from 2000-2005.
Much of this growth will come from the currently small markets of France and
Italy, where the markets are expected to grow at 4.3% CAGR and 2.2% CAGR respectively.
The mature markets of the US and Sweden will grow much slower, at 1.6% and 0.1%
respectively. Southern Europeans, then, are closing in on their more northerly
counterparts in the chocolate bar stakes.
