Bitter news for those with a sweet tooth: Sweets are getting more expensive! This year, consumers must expect the price of chocolate and other confectionery to increase. A bar of chocolate can soon cost more than one euro.
Sweets are getting more expensive
The reason for the coming higher prices for chocolate and other sweets is the increased cost of sugar, cocoa, and other ingredients. This is now announced by the managing director of the confectionery trade association, Hans Strohmaier.
The price of one euro for a bar of chocolate is given as the absolute “pain limit” – but this could be cracked this year and continue to rise.
90 bars of chocolate per year
Last year, the price of a bar of chocolate increased by five percent. But that doesn’t stop those with a sweet tooth from enjoying it: Consumption of the sweet sin has remained stable in Germany for years.
Everyone eats around nine kilos of chocolate, which corresponds to 90 bars, every year – including processed chocolate.
