Government restrictions pertaining to the manufacturing and marketing of butter and margarine also pose a restraint to the overall growth. In addition to this, the availability of substitutes threatens the market. Nevertheless, the falling prices of these products have upped their consumption in most developing countries and this offers players immense scope for growth.

Based on usage, the butter and margarine market can be bifurcated into spreadable and non-spreadable. By product type, the market comprises cream and whipped butter, liquid margarines, cultured and uncultured butter, butter margarines, and others. The demand for butter is relatively higher and the sales of margarine takes a hit owing to the inclusion of additives.

The global market for butter and margarine can be segmented on the basis of geography into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. North America accounts for a significant share in the overall market in terms of revenue and is likely to retain its positive streak throughout the forecast period. The butter and margarine market in the region is fueled by the high consumption of baked and packaged foods.

Asia Pacific is projected to exhibit healthy growth over the coming years, with China and India emerging as the front-runners. The rapidly growing economies in these countries has resulted in an increase in disposable income. This, in turn, has enabled consumers to increase their spending on luxury food items such as desserts, pastries, and confectionery. This, combined with the declining prices of margarine and butter, is projected to lead to higher sales in APAC.
