Shortenings Market Regional Outlook, Growth Potential, Price Trends, Competitive Market Share & Forecast 2019-2027
Shortenings Market |
A product made from animal or
plant fat is shortening. During the forecast period, the plant-based shortening
market is anticipated to grow significantly due to the advantages that
vegetable oil offers, such as the substantial antioxidant content. Vegetable
oils, including soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil, among others, are used
to make plant-based shortening. The bakery and confectionary industries are
where shortening is most commonly used. Population growth in the Asia-Pacific
region has increased food consumption per person, which has also increased
regional demand for bakery and confectionery goods.
For instance, the Agricultural
and Agri-Food Department of Canada (AAFC) reported in August 2016 that an
analysis of bakery and breakfast cereal products revealed that Asia Pacific
accounted for a sizeable portion of the global market for bakery products,
accounting for retail sales of bakery products worth US$ 86,836.7 million in
2015.
The same source claims that Japan
was responsible for US$ 22,982.5 million in retail sales of bakery products in
2013, US$ 23,659.3 million in 2015, and US$ 26,462.4 million by 2020, representing
a CAGR of 2.3% from 2015 to 2020. A number of factors, including evolving
eating patterns, the use of convenient food substitutes, the growth of the
modern retail and food service sectors, and the accessibility of raw materials,
are anticipated to propel the Asia Pacific shortenings market's expansion over
the forecast period.
The Global
Shortenings Market Was Valued At US$ 3,835.2 Mn In 2018, And Is Expected
To Register A CAGR Of 3.2%, In Terms Of Revenue Over The Forecast Period
(2019-2027), To Reach US$ 5,051.7 Mn By 2027.
The primary raw material used to
prepare shortening is fat that comes from either animal or plant sources.
Additionally, it contains trans-fats, which are regarded as unhealthy because a
high intake of them can result in heart conditions. For instance, a May 2018
FDA article on trans-fats claims that the process of hydrogenating vegetable
oil—a method that is frequently employed to create shortening—leads to the
formation of trans-fats in food products. The same source claims that trans-fat
consumption raises blood levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), a type of
cholesterol that is regarded as being bad because it raises the risk of heart
disease, which can be fatal.
In terms of revenue, Asia Pacific
led the world market for shortenings in 2018, and it is anticipated that it
will hold this position throughout the forecast period. Over the forecast
period, rising demand for shortening is anticipated in Asia Pacific due to the
region's expanding confectionery market. Singapore exported chocolates for US$
364.9 million in 2017, followed by China and Malaysia with US$ 315.6 million
and US$ 226 million, respectively, according to the International Trade Center.
Additionally, Europe ranked
second globally in terms of shortenings market share and is anticipated to
experience a CAGR of 2.3% from 2019 to 2027. Shortening is in high demand in
Europe because of the expansion of the confectionery industry. For instance,
the Association of Chocolate, Biscuits and Confectionery Industries of Europe
(CAOBISCO) reports that the market for chocolate in Europe was estimated to
have grown by 1.9% between 2015 and 2016 to reach 2,827,184 metric tonnes from
2,772,325 metric tonnes in 2015.
