Chocolate sales are rising faster among people using weight-loss drugs<\/a> than in the rest of the population, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

Swiss chocolatier Lindt & Spr\u00fcngli cited data countering predictions that GLP-1 drugs<\/a> would reduce interest in sweets.<\/p>\n

Semaglutide medications, like Ozempic and Wegovy, mimic the natural hormone GLP\u20111 (glucagon\u2011like peptide\u20111), while tirzepatides (such as Mounjaro and Zepbound) target both GLP-1 receptors and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors.<\/p>\n

While consumers taking these drugs may be cutting back on high-calorie foods<\/a> like pasta and pizza, they are still looking for indulgence, Chief Executive Adalbert Lechner said during a recent news conference.<\/p>\n

“They are upgrading to premium products,” Lechner said. “Less is more \u2014 small rewards with a moment of bliss rather than mindless munching.”<\/p>\n

An internal company study found that 15% of U.S. households use GLP-1s medications \u2014 and those households accounted for roughly 17.5% of chocolate sales in the dataset. Lindt also reported that U.S. premium chocolate sales rose nearly 17% among GLP-1 users in 2025, compared with about 6.5% growth among non-users.<\/p>\n

“Consumers worldwide continue to seek quality and moments of indulgence,” Lechner said in a news release.<\/p>\n

However, a 2025 study from Cornell University and Numerator suggests a different trend. That report found GLP-1 users cut spending on calorie-dense snacks<\/a> by about 10%, with “similarly large decreases” in sweets, baked goods and cookies.<\/p>\n

“The main pattern is a reduction in overall food purchases,” said Sylvia Hristakeva, an assistant professor and co-author of the Cornell study. “Only a small number of categories show increases, and those are modest relative to the overall decline.”<\/p>\n

Despite these findings, Lechner said he does not view the popularization of weight-loss drugs as a threat to business.<\/p>\n

Analysts had expected the introduction of GLP-1 pills to negatively affect the food industry over the next few years.<\/p>\n

Experts predict that the oral versions of the weight-loss medications will expand the market to include more men and younger patients.<\/p>\n
