Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Industrial Hard Margarine Market

The COVID-19 pandemic affected economies and industries in various countries across the globe. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America, and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the food & beverages industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disrupted global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies witnessed delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products in 2020. Moreover, the bans imposed by governments of various countries in Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and North America on international travel compelled companies to temporarily discontinue their collaboration and partnership plans. All these factors hampered various industries in 2020 and early 2021, thereby restraining the growth of various markets, including the industrial hard margarine market.

Rising demand for margarine as a low-cost alternative to butter, growing requirement for margarine from the food industry in emerging economies, and increasing consumer enthusiasm toward adopting a healthy lifestyle were the key factors that boosted the growth of the industrial hard margarine market. Before the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, the industrial hard margarine market was also driven by the rising consumption of bakery products and growing demand for affordable, sustainable, and healthier ingredients by food manufacturers. However, industries experienced unprecedented challenges after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, including supply chain constraints caused by nationwide lockdowns, trade bans, and travel restrictions. The supply chain disruptions created a shortage of raw materials, which affected the production and distribution of various products, leading to increased prices.

In 2021, various economies resumed operations as governments of various countries announced relaxation in the previously imposed restrictions, which boosted the global marketplace. Further, manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap and other repercussions.

Further, the COVID-19 pandemic had a long-term favorable impact on the industrial hard margarine market as the food processing industries observed a remarkable growth owing to rising demand for process and convenience food. The growing adoption of industrial hard margarine by food manufacturers to replace butter with a low trans-fat substitute fueled the market growth. Consumers gravitated toward a healthy lifestyle and increased adoption of healthy food options due to the rising number of COVID-19 patients. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers have been increasingly attentive to their health and wellness. Furthermore, the market witnessed an increased demand for food products with high clean ingredients used in them, which boosted the sales of industrial hard margarine. As consumers' focus increased on finding healthier alternatives during the pandemic, the need for industrial hard margarine also grew globally.
