Global Specialty Fats & Oils Market valued approximately USD 16.1 million in 2016 is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.3% over the forecast period 2017-2025.
The market is primarily driven by factors such as the increasing gap between cocoa butter demand & supply. Another growth factor can be the increase in the consumption of confectionery and processed foods. However, the several health concerns related to excessive consumption of fats & oils are expected to restrict the growth of the specialty fats & oils market in the long run. Confectionery fats are one of the major food sources of trans-fat. The consumption of trans-fatty acids is strongly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. As a result, there are more regulations on the usage of liquid oils used directly in sweet goods and icings.
One of the driving factors for the increasing use of specialty fats is their enhanced rheological properties such as viscosity, which facilitates efficient production of confectionery products. Thus, specialty fats & oils contribute significantly to the overall acceptance of confectionery products, which has led to their increased popularity in chocolate & confectionery products.
