Fat replacers are ingredients used to replace fat in food products such as processed meats, frozen desserts, cheese, baked goods, salad dressings, and snack chips. Three types of fat replacers are used on a large scale including protein-based fat replacers, carbohydrate-based fat replacers, and lipid-based fat replacers.
The report on the fat replacer market provides key insights on the market. The latest report by FactMR on the fat replacer market also focuses on the factors influencing the market growth and challenges. The primary objective of the report is to offer information on the latest trends, drivers, opportunities and important numbers in form of value and volume. The report also includes data and information collected through secondary research.
Higher Preference for Low-Fat Food Products among Consumers
Increasing incidence of obesity worldwide is resulting in consumers seeking low fat or fat-free foods & beverages products. Increasing number of food and beverages manufacturers are using protein-based, carbohydrate-based, and lipid-based fat replacers. However, as fat replacers alone cannot meet essential attributes, food product manufacturers are also providing a combination of reduced fat products and fat replacers.
Majority of the fat replacers in the fat replacer market are reformulations of previously used food ingredients. Moreover, manufacturers in the food replacer market are formulating a new variety of fat replacer ingredients by using advanced technologies.
Fat replacers are finding large application in the production of cookies, salad dressings, frozen desserts, low-fat cheese, chips, and ice-creams. Manufacturers are developing new products in fat-based fat replacers. These products are likely to use a combination of fat and oil and find large application in products including chips, baked goods, and snack foods. Majority of the new products with low-fat content made using fat replacers are awaiting approval by Food and Drug Administration.
Application of Fat Replacers in Dairy Products to Create Growth Opportunities
Increasing number of dairy product manufacturers are replacing expensive butterfat with vegetable fat owing to its cost-effectiveness and numerous health benefits. Manufacturers are focusing on improving structural quality and taste of fat replacers for use in dairy products. The increasing demand for fat-free dairy products offering flavor and taste similar to the traditional dairy products is resulting in new fat replacer development.
Production of the high quality of milk fat replacers made using specific vegetable fat blends is growing. These fat replacers used in a wide range of dairy products including cheese, butter, and whipping cream are extremely cost-effective, resulting in high adoption in developing regions.
Low-fat dairy beverages are also gaining traction across the globe with the introduction of new flavors and rise in health consciousness among consumers owing to increasing instances of obesity.
Studies Claiming Health Benefits of Full-Fat Dairy Products to Impact Fat Replacers Growth
Various global studies have found that consuming full-fat dairy can lead to a lower rate of cardiovascular diseases compared to the consumption of low-fat dairy products. A recent study published in The Lancet found that people consuming three servings of whole fat dairy every day have a lower rate of cardiovascular disease.
Another study was undertaken by an international consortium established by researchers from North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The consortium examined the relationship of fatty acid biomarkers with diseases. In all the 16 studies, researchers found that a higher concentration of dairy-fat biomarkers associated with lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Fat Replacer Adoption Positively Influenced by Government Regulations
In addition to growing consumer demand for low-fat food products, governments across the globe are introducing new regulations on consumption of foods containing fat, along with setting a limit on daily consumption of fat. Various policies that regulate and restrict trans fatty acids have been introduced in some countries. Switzerland, Denmark, and some states in the US have adopted regulatory approaches to controlling trans fatty acids in food products.
With an aim of global elimination of trans fat in food products, the World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced REPLACE, a guide to eliminate industrially produced trans-fatty acids. Several high-income countries have legally imposed limits on the amount of fat in various packaged food products. However, the action is still needed in low and middle-income countries to control fat in food products.
