Global Powdered Fats Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Processing Technology (Spray Drying, Drum Drying, Freeze Drying, and Others), By Source, By Application, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030

The Global Powdered Fats Market size is expected to reach $3 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 4.7% CAGR during the forecast period.

Consumers are increasingly seeking products with simpler and more natural ingredients. Coconut-derived fats often fit into the "clean label" trend, being perceived as more natural and less processed compared to some other alternatives. Consequently, the coconut source segment would acquire nearly 10% of the total market share by 2030. As the production and availability of coconut-derived products increase due to expanded cultivation and processing capabilities, the demand for coconut-derived fats grows accordingly. Some of the factors impacting the market are rapidly expanding food processing industry, cost-effectiveness of fat powders and market perception of healthiness.

The expanding food processing industry is a pivotal driver of economic growth and innovation globally. As societies undergo rapid urbanization and lifestyles become increasingly fast-paced, there is a burgeoning demand for convenient and readily accessible food options. Moreover, the globalization of food industries and increased international trade have further fuelled the expansion of the food processing industry. As the industry continues to evolve and consumer demands diversify, the demand for this form of fats is likely to remain robust and is expected to experience further growth. Additionally, these fats offer a compelling, cost-effective advantage in various industries, especially within food production and manufacturing. Their economic viability stems from several inherent characteristics that make them favourable compared to liquid fats. Moreover, the stability in pricing and regulatory compliance further enhances their cost-effectiveness. These fats may offer greater price stability compared to their liquid counterparts, making them less susceptible to market fluctuations. These factors collectively position these fats as an economically advantageous choice for various industries seeking efficient and cost-effective ingredients in their production processes.

However, the market perception of healthiness plays a pivotal role in shaping consumer choices and influencing the demand for products like this form of fats. One of the primary challenges lies in the misconception that these fats might be less healthy or natural compared to their liquid counterparts. Consumers often associate powdered forms with increased processing or additives, assuming they might contain more artificial elements or additives that could compromise their nutritional value. Moreover, there's a prevailing belief that liquid fats might be more 'natural' or 'fresh,' especially when derived from natural sources like oils. This deeply ingrained perception influences consumer preferences, leading them to perceive these fats as more processed or artificial, which could negatively impact their acceptance and demand. Hence, the negative perception of these fats may hamper the growth of the market in the coming years.
