Prime determinants of growth

The prime determinants driving the growth of the global fluid shortening market include the rising demand from the food industry, particularly the bakery, snacks, and fried foods sectors, where fluid shortenings are extensively utilized for their functional properties and ability to enhance texture, shelf life, and overall quality. The increasing consumer inclination towards healthier alternatives has prompted a shift towards plant-based shortenings derived from sources like palm oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil, aligning with the rising health consciousness. The versatility and functional benefits of fluid shortenings, such as their ability to improve texture and extend shelf life, have further fueled their popularity among food manufacturers. Additionally, the expansion of the retail and food service sectors, driven by changing consumer preferences, urbanization, and the rise of on-the-go snacking, has significantly contributed to the increased demand for fluid shortenings.

Segment Highlights

In the fluid shortening market, the high emulsification segment is the dominating one. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for products with superior texture, improved shelf life, and enhanced stability. High emulsification shortenings offer exceptional emulsifying properties, allowing them to bind ingredients more effectively and create a homogeneous mixture. This results in baked goods and fried foods with a smoother texture and a more consistent quality. Additionally, the high emulsification segment caters to the growing trend of clean-label and natural products, as these shortenings can be derived from plant-based sources, aligning with consumer preferences for healthier and sustainable options.

The fried food segment is dominating over the baked food segment in application. This can be attributed to the rising popularity of convenience foods, particularly snacks and fast-food items that are fried. The demand for fried foods has surged due to changing lifestyles, urbanization, and the growing trend of on-the-go consumption. Fluid shortenings play a crucial role in the frying process, imparting desired texture, flavor, and crispiness to the fried products. Additionally, the expansion of the food service industry, including quick-service restaurants and food chains, has significantly contributed to the increased demand for fluid shortenings used in frying applications.
