Shea Butter Market Set to Witness an Uptick during 2019 to 2025
The global shea butter
market size is expected to reach USD 1.76 billion by 2025 expanding at a
CAGR of 6.6%. Increasing demand for coco butter alternative and growing
consumption of chocolate and bakery products are expected to drive the market.
In addition, widespread usage of shea butter as a substitute for edible
vegetable oils and fat in various food applications is likely to spur the
demand.
The
Beauty and Personal Care (BPC) industry has witnessed a decline in the wake of
the Covid 19 pandemic, but the impact is not as severe as seen in other
industries. Although discretionary spending has reduced, the BPC market has
witnessed a consumer behavioral shift towards safe and reliable products.
Products that have a lower risk of contamination owing to automation and longer
shelf lives helping the rationing of consumer supplies are expected to stand
out in the near future. Brands are also focusing on improving their supply
lines in terms of strengthening their E-commerce channel along with offering
at-home wellness products, which are highly suited in this volatile business
environment. Our team is diligently working towards accounting these factors in
our report with the aim of providing you with the up-to-date, actionable market
information and projections.
Bakery and confectionery manufacturers
widely use it as an alternative for cocoa butter due to high prices of cocoa as
a result of limited supply. The product also contains essential fatty acids,
such as stearic and oleic acids, and unsaponifiables, such as sterols and
phenols, which have moisturizing and conditioning properties. It has a better
absorption rate than coco butter and is suitable for all skin types, which
increase its demand in personal care & cosmetics industry as well.
In addition, extensive R&D by
cosmetics manufacturers to introduce innovative and more effective shea
butter-based products will drive the product demand in this sector. Thus, high
product demand in personal care & cosmetics industry will also boost the
market growth.

personal care & cosmetics, food & beverage, and others. Personal care
& cosmetics is the largest segment. This growth is attributed to the high
product demand in this sector. Moreover, cosmetics companies are investing more
in R&D to introduce new and more effective products containing shea butter.
This is also likely to have a positive impact on the segment growth. Increasing
demand for anti-aging and skin conditioning products will boost the segment
growth further.

and beverages is the fastest-growing application segment. Increasing demand for
bakery and confectionery products is the key factor fueling the segment

of cocoa will also boost the segment growth. Shea butter is used as a raw
material in the production of shortening and margarine for several bakery
products like puff pastry. It is stable at room temperature and eliminates the

acids, acting as a healthy alternative for margarine production.
