Lindt Announces Price Hikes as Cocoa Costs Surge

The Swiss chocolatier reports strong 2024 earnings but plans further price increases driven by rising cocoa prices and market trends.

Lindt & Sprüngli plans to raise prices by a double-digit percentage in 2025 due to soaring cocoa costs, following a 6.3% increase in 2024.
The company reported a 7.8% revenue growth in 2024, reaching 5.47 billion Swiss francs, with a net profit of 672.3 million francs.
Lindt's Dubai chocolate launch capitalized on limited-edition exclusivity, generating significant media buzz and plans for mass-market availability.
The company continues to see strong demand for premium chocolate products, including new offerings like Lindor Tiramisu and seasonal items like the Gold Bunny.
Lindt's operational efficiency and strategic pricing have contributed to a higher profit margin, with shareholders receiving a 7.1% dividend increase.
