вЂњI can definitely see that people are cutting back on this type of purchaseвЂќ right now amid inflation, said one New York man. Shrinkflation, such as trading down to cheaper chocolate, impacts cocoa demand even if item sales volumes stay the same.Д¬hocolate makers originally expected cocoa demand to grow by some 2.5% this year, but are now seeing growth of just 1% - and that could be followed by no growth next year if inflation persists and the Russia-Ukraine war continues, traders and experts say, according to Reuters. Hershey in certain cases slims down its package size and keeps the same or very close price - commonly known as вЂњshrinkflationвЂќ - to retain customers who say they only have $3 to spend on a bag of chocolate Kisses, rather than $5 or $6, Poole also told Reuters. вЂњValue to others might be something вЂaccessible to meвЂ™ at an absolute lower price point.вЂќ вЂњFor those who have the money and have the space to store bigger bags, value to them is cheaper price per pound,вЂќ she said. SOBERING NEW STUDY SAYS THAT THOSE UNDER AGE 40 SHOULDNвЂ™T DRINK ALCOHOL AT ALL In recent months, Hershey has been using a new fulfillment center in Annville, Pa., to more efficiently serve retailers such as mass discounters and dollar stores whose customers are sensitive to price, Poole indicated. ThatвЂ™s why youвЂ™re seeing volume decline,вЂќ he said. вЂњConsumers will treat themselves, but it will be smaller sizes - a small treat. вЂњFor those who have the money and have the space to store bigger bags, value to them is cheaper price per pound.вЂќ вЂњWeвЂ™re going to see chocolate becoming more sensitive to price,вЂќ Daniel Sadler, an IRI principal, told Reuters.

The sold volume of chocolate products in the US dropped 1.5% versus a year ago in the 13 weeks ended June 12 as prices soared 8.2%, according to IRI, a Chicago-based market research firm that shared information with Reuters.
