Asia Pacific Shortenings Market was worth USD 0.6 billion in 2021 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 5.47%, to reach USD 0.78 billion by 2026. Shortening can be defined as fats which are solid at room temperature. They are normally used in making pastries and other foods. Shortening is utilized in pastries which should not be elastic, like cake. Though butter is solid at room temperatures and frequently used in pastry making, the word "shortening" rarely refers to butter, but to margarine.
Originally shortening referred to lard, but the discovery of margarine included it as well to the term. The water content in them is less, hence they can be fried easily without the fear of splattering. As shortenings need not be refrigerated and cheap to produce, they gained popularity in the recent times as food production became increasingly industrialized.
