The Europe industrial hard margarine market size is expected to grow from US$ 719.52 million in 2022 to US$ 848.26 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 2.8% from 2022 to 2028.
Industrial hard margarine is majorly used as a shortening in bakery products such as cakes, pastries, biscuits & cookies, and breads & rolls. It improves the texture of bakery products and keeps them soft, fresh, and tender. Moreover, margarine also increases the volume of bakery products by preventing the cross-linking of gluten molecules when liquid is added. Additionally, margarine is cheaper than butter, which increases its popularity among industrial bakers because it produces high-quality products at a low cost. Margarine is usually produced by the hydrogenation of vegetable oils such as palm oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, and safflower oil. For the production of hard/stick margarine, the hydrogenation process is carried out for a longer period of time. Hard margarine has more oxidative stability and shelf life than other kinds of margarine, which is the major reason for its increased demand among food manufacturers. The rising demand for industrial hard margarine in the bakery & confectionery industry in Europe is driving the market growth.
In 2022, Germany held the largest share of the Europe industrial hard margarine market, and Spain is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of the industrial hard margarine market in Germany is majorly attributed to rising demand for bakery products, especially puff pastries, Danish pastries, cakes, cookies, and biscuits. Moreover, the presence of a well-established bakery & confectionery industry in Germany, coupled with rising demand for low-cost bakery shortening, are driving the industrial hard margarine market growth across the country.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Europe Industrial Hard Margarine Market
The COVID-19 pandemic affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The COVID-19 pandemic disturbed manufacturing processes due to restrictions imposed by government authorities.
