The product's cost-effectiveness is driving the margarine market as it is increasingly being adopted as a low-cost alternative to butter and other fat-soluble spreads. The use of industrial margarine is reducing the cost of end products. In the bakery industry, margarine is widely being used in products such as pastries, doughnuts, and cookies. Thus, the bakery sector holds a significant role in the application of industrial margarine.
Margarine, made by churning cream or milk, is being adopted as a nutritious alternative to butter. Canola, palm fruit, and soybean oil are a few examples of plant-based oils used to make low-fat margarine.

Consumers are turning to plant-based butter substitutes to maintain their long-term health, which is anticipated to create new margarine industry prospects. In addition, manufacturers are under pressure to develop suitable solutions to cater to the market and satisfy consumer needs as consumers worldwide are demanding clean labels and sustainable products, which is creating a positive impact on the newly developed margarine products with non-GMO, allergen-free, and other beneficial claims and are anticipated to drive the margarine market.
