PROSPECTS

Butter benefits from shift towards full-fat, natural products as margarine struggles

2018 saw butter set sales records and the category is set for further positive growth over the forecast period. Growing numbers of studies now promote the value of natural fats as part of a healthy diet.

Organic butter set for growth due to natural food trends and the glut of organic milk

Demand for organic milk has been growing in recent years, encouraging more farmers to transition to organic production. However, organic certification can be a difficult, time consuming and expensive process for farmers and, as such, organic production of milk remains low and is only now catching up with consumer demand.

Rising demand for plant-based spreads and cooking fats poses threat to traditional products

As plant-based alternatives gain popularity across all dairy categories, manufacturers are developing new plant-based alternatives to butter. Products that have caught the attention of consumers include unique items such as aquafaba, made from the liquid residue from chickpeas.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Glut of milk to drive down prices, especially for category-leading private label lines

Private label players have long capitalised on the opportunity to provide butter and spreads at lower price points than branded manufacturers. As the recent excess milk supply has suppressed dairy prices generally, private label players in butter have compounded this trend by reducing prices further.

Introduction of convenient squeezable spreads primes Land O’ Lakes to expand

Drawing on the convenience and no-mess trends for family eating, Land O’ Lakes is expanding its product portfolio by introducing butter in new pack types. Its new Soft Squeeze brand offers full-fat butter in a tube and is positioned as a product to facilitate healthy eating with quick preparation and clean-up.

Unilever sells spreads brands to KKR, a sign of limits to future growth in margarine

2018 saw Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant Unilever sell its leading margarine brands Country Crock and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! to global investment management company KKR. Americans have long been enthusiastic consumers of margarine.
