Description

The end users are bakeries, households, various food centres etc.Market Dynamics
The following factors are significant in deciding the fate of the market:
Market Drivers: Changing lifestyles and dietary habits is the primary reason for the acceptance of the margarine as a popular butter alternative.
It provides a similar taste as of butter but comes at a much lower price especially making it popular in the developing regions where people have limited income.

The past few years have seen the acquisitions of several local companies by the global giants. This coupled with the growing tendency of premiumization has facilitated the sale of the branded products.
Market Restraints: Butter happens to be the biggest competitor for the margarine market. Due to the shift towards more natural products and widely accepted facts of the several health benefits of butter, it still enjoys more consumer base compared to the margarine market.

Acquisitions with local players will strengthen the market. Other than that, successful researchers in this field will reduce the food processing costs.
