Plant-Based Spreads - Worldwide

Plant-Based Spreads Market Size and Definition

The global plant-based spreads market size was estimated at USD 502 million in 2024 and is projected to be worth around USD 833.41 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.2%.

The plant-based spreads market refers to the production, distribution, and use of these spreads, which include plant butter, the newest addition to the buttery spread alternatives. Plant butter is a non-dairy butter substitute typically made from a mixture of plant-derived oil, like palm kernel, coconut, avocado, and olive oil. These are based on vegetables or plant-based alternatives to non-vegan spreads like cream cheese, pate, or lard. Generally, these spreads provide healthier types of fats. Nut based spreads gain traction. The increasing preference for vegetarian foods is driving the growth of the plant-based spreads market.

However, the market's risk factors include regulatory hurdles, the need for continuous product innovation, the high cost of production, limited availability of certain raw materials, supply chain disruptions, and changing raw material costs, which can slow down the market's growth. The future scope of the market includes expansion, increasing investment in research and development, reducing costs, and increasing investment in infrastructure development, which will be an opportunity for the growth of the plant-based spreads market.
