The growing demand for cocoa butter alternatives is one of the major trends being witnessed in the global shea butter market 2019-2023. This is due to the increasing prices of cocoa butter (a significant ingredient that provides fat and texture to the chocolate). In addition, the increasing demand for chocolate products is primarily encouraging many significant chocolate manufacturers to focus on using cocoa butter alternatives such as shea butter to reduce the manufacturing costs. Many leading players such as Mondelez International and THE HERSHEY COMPANY use alternative sources of fat derived from shea butter, palm oil, or other sources to partially replace cocoa butter. The rising consumption of chocolate and the increasing supply constraints in cocoa-producing countries could augment the demand for shea butter, during the forecast period.

Global shea butter market: New product launches
Increasing new product launches by regional and international players may support the growth of the global shea butter market. The manufacturers of shea butter are adopting innovative and distributive strategies to increase the market size of these products. Successful new product launches are expected to accelerate the growth of competitors and the global shea butter market as well. The new product launches are not only increasing the market share of players but are also offering them with a competitive edge over other players in the market. For instance, in October 2017, L'OCCITANE launched two limited edition Shea Butter Trio Sets in collaboration with Rifle Paper. The new launches include Hand Cream Trio and Pure Shea Trio. Therefore, with such initiatives, the market is expected to register a positive outlook during the forecast period.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on cosmetics and toiletry, "Apart from the product launches, other major factors boosting the global shea butter market include the rising level of lactose intolerance, expansion in the retail landscape, and the rise in demand for fair trade certified shea butter."
