EAST ISLIP, N.Y., Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gunther
Grant, Inc. (OTC Pinks: GNGR) has strategically positioned itself
to increase market share of the $60 billion
dollar chocolate industry. While Americans have
struggled with a financial crisis, the U.S. chocolate market has
been growing around 6% a year and shareholders continue to see a
return on their investment.
Seen as an "affordable luxury" consumers continue to spend on
chocolates, especially premium chocolates. The market has
responded favorably to the continued growth. Hershey Company
(HSY) and Kraft Foods (KFT), two of the world's largest publicly
traded chocolate companies, have posted 1-year and longer-term
stock market returns. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
(RMCF), another confectionary manufacturer, had a closing price
yesterday of $12.27 per
share.
The U.S. is ranked 11th in chocolate consumption with the
average American consuming 12 pounds of chocolate per year.
The Swiss, Austrians, Germans, Irish, British, Norwegians, Danes,
Belgians, Swedes and Australians all consume more chocolate than
Americans. In China,
chocolate sales have increased more than 40% since 2009 and
demand in other emerging markets is expected to grow more
than 60% by 2016.
