Plant-based margarines are a spread or butter substitute made entirely from plant-derived ingredients. Unlike traditional margarines that may contain a combination of vegetable oils and animal fats, plant-based margarines are designed to be vegan and are produced exclusively from plant sources. These margarines aim to provide a dairy-free alternative for people on vegetarian or vegan diets and people with lactose intolerance or further dairy-related allergies. The rising vegan population, increased awareness of lactose intolerance and other dairy-related health concerns, environmental considerations, and product taste and quality advancements. Additionally, strategic marketing campaigns have led to improved consumer perceptions and acceptance. Factors hampering growth include competition from other dairy alternatives, fluctuations in raw material prices, and the possible perception of plant-based margarine as a processed food. Product innovation includes developing functional margarine expansion of distribution channels, especially online retail, and tapping into emerging markets, which are potential growth areas.
