The global Butter and Margarine market size is expected to reach $ 92390 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 3.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Butter is a dairy product that manufacturers make by churning cream or milk to separate the solid components from the liquid. People commonly use butter in cooking, baking, and as a spread. Margarine is a substitute for butter. Manufacturers make margarine from plant-based oils, such as canola oil, palm fruit oil, and soybean oil. Although butter and margarine have different components, both can contain large amounts of different fats.
In 2024, global Butter and Margarine production reached approximately 20308K MT, with an average global market price of around 3505 USD/MT.
The global butter and margarine market is experiencing a dynamic shift, influenced by evolving consumer preferences, health trends, and regional dietary habits. While butter has traditionally dominated the market, particularly in regions like Europe and North America, growing awareness about the health risks associated with high saturated fat consumption has prompted a gradual shift toward margarine and plant-based spreads. Margarine, often seen as a healthier alternative due to its lower saturated fat content, is gaining popularity, especially with the rise in veganism and plant-based diets. This shift is further supported by the introduction of fortified and functional margarine products that offer additional health benefits, such as omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins.
On the other hand, butter remains highly favored due to its natural and clean-label appeal, as consumers seek products with fewer additives and preservatives. Artisanal and organic butter varieties are witnessing increased demand, driven by the broader trend toward natural and premium food products. The Asia-Pacific region is emerging as a key growth area for both butter and margarine, fueled by rising disposable incomes and Western-style eating habits. Meanwhile, in developed regions like North America and Europe, the trend toward clean-label and health-conscious food products continues to shape the market. Overall, the butter and margarine market is expected to grow steadily, with an ongoing balance between indulgence, health-conscious choices, and regional preferences.
