Description

FOODIAL is a food marketing report published by TNC Inc.


That collects and analyzes the food trend information from all over the world and report it to purchasers(subscribers) every month.

In the January 2026 issue, the Pick Up section highlights emerging alternatives to cocoa. Amid a sharp surge in cocoa prices, the global chocolate industry is entering a significant turning point. As leading manufacturers are compelled to implement successive double-digit price increases, sustainable alternative ingredients that reduce dependence on cocoa are rapidly gaining traction. Innovative products designed to lower environmental impact while ensuring stable supply are entering the market one after another, positioning cocoa-free solutions as a compelling new direction for the future of food.

In the "Topics" section, we refer 14 examples of trends from different countries.
