Margarine MarketSize and Trends

The global margarine market size was valued at US$ 21,936.8 million in 2022 and is anticipated to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.68% from 2023 to 2030. The global margarine market is forecast to exhibit a considerable growth over the next few years. This growth is attributed to the growing consumer demand for healthy products, especially when it comes to reducing the saturated fat content of food. In addition, the growing geriatric population and increasing awareness about the benefits of a healthy diet are expected to fuel demand for margarine. However, a recent pandemic, COVID-19, imposed trade restrictions on margarine, resulting in a significant decline in demand from 2020 to 2021. These restrictions, along with a lack of raw materials, resulted in many manufacturing units closing down. With the passage of time, the industry has improved its distribution networks, which will drive growth of the market.
