Increasing utilization of shea butter as an ingredient in the production of cosmetics & personal care products and chocolates is the primary factor driving the global shea butter market. Increasing government/regulatory approvals towards human consumption of shea butter and the presence of similar properties as palm oil are expected to boost food-related consumption of shea butter during the forecast period. Increasing government regulations towards decreasing the plantation and production of palm oil are further expected to boost huge demand for shea butter during the forecast period.

Moreover, increasing adoption of highly sustainable and cost-effective ingredients in the production of chocolates and other confectionery products is further expected to boost the consumption of shea butter globally during the forecast period.
However, minimal product availability, lack of presence of suitable environmental conditions for the production of shea trees, and availability of alternatives are primary factors hindering the growth of the shea butter market globally during the forecast period.
