Mondelez launches 190g 'Milka Extra' bar to lift slumping sales

The rollout seeks to reverse falling large-bar demand fueled by rising cocoa prices following Mondelez’s downsizing of standard Milka bars.

Overview

  • Mondelez began distributing ‘Milka Extra’ 190g bars to retailers this week.
  • The new format is offered in five flavors: Alpenmilch, whole hazelnuts, caramel-salt almond, Lotus Biscoff and noisette.
  • ‘Milka Extra’ retails for €3.79 in the Netherlands, with German pricing yet to be confirmed.
  • A marketing campaign for the mid-size bar is set to start next week as Mondelez aims to revive larger-bar sales after cutting standard Milka bars from 100g to 90g earlier this year.
  • Market data show chocolate volume down 12% but revenue up 14% in Q1 2025 on higher cocoa costs, and experts warn the new size may cannibalize existing Milka bar sales.
