The Top 10 Chocolate Franchise Businesses in India for 2024

Chocolate franchises as well as other food businesses are having a profitable time nowadays. The industry is expected to grow in India in 2022. We tried to compare the Top 10 list of Chocolate franchises for this year with a previous one and saw only some small changes in the rating.
Indians like chocolate, they consume up to 2 kilograms of the dessert per person annually. Moreover, there are many holidays in the country when the citizens eat a lot of sweets and give chocolate to each other. Obviously, owning a chocolate franchise means to have a fast return on investments and a constant profit. Besides, the industry offers a lot of formats. Some of them are small kiosk concepts which don't require high initial investment compared to chocolate shop franchise businesses. Decadenz is a good example of a brand which offers a low cost yet successful concept. However, there are brands like Cadbury dairy milk whose products are very popular among Indians. The popularity can stand a new franchisee in good stead and immediately attract visitors to their new location. The segment also includes a cafe concept. Such businesses require more initial costs to start but can generate more revenue as well. The Chocolate Room franchise, which is the first cafe brand in India, has a huge popularity among the citizens and brings a good profit to the owners.
