The North America Margarine Market would witness market growth of 3.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026).
Margarine is a refined food that has been made to taste and appear like butter. It is often recommended as a healthy cardiac replacement. Modern types of margarine are made from vegetable oils containing polyunsaturated fats that can lower "bad" LDL cholesterol when used instead of saturated fat. Because vegetable oils are liquid at room temperature, food scientists change their chemical structure to make them as solid as butter.
A method known as hydrogenation has been used for the past several decades to harden vegetable oils in margarine. Hydrogenation increases the saturated fat content of the oil, but unhealthful trans fats are formed as side products. A more modern method called interesterification shows comparable effects without the production of trans fats.
Increased adoption of bakery and confectionery as dessert across all age groups is projected to have a positive effect on consumer growth in the coming years. In addition, the safety benefits associated with margarine, including a decrease in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), are anticipated to play a major role in increasing product demand by health-conscious customers. The suitability of margarine for the lactose-intolerant population as a plant-based milk-free alternative is also expected to fuel demand growth in the years to come.
