Convenience foods are pre-packaged or pre-prepared foods designed for quick and easy consumption with minimal preparation time and are typically ready-to-eat or require simple steps such as heating or mixing, catering to busy lifestyles. The demand for convenience foods is growing due to shifting lifestyles, increased urbanization, and a preference for quick and easy meal solutions. High-fat powders are utilized in convenience foods to enhance texture, flavor, and nutritional content, catering to ketogenic diets and portable meal solutions. For instance, in March 2024, the Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited, a Thailand-based commercial banking company, reported that the domestic market for Thai-made ready-to-eat food is expected to grow by 3.0-4% annually from 2024 to 2026. Therefore, the growing demand for convenience foods drives the high fat powder market.

Leading companies in the high fat powder market are actively innovating by introducing products such as high-fat cocoa powders to meet the growing demand for healthier and more indulgent options in the food and beverage industry. High-fat cocoa powders, which contain a higher proportion of cocoa butter compared to regular varieties, are a focal point of this innovation. For example, Barry Callebaut, a renowned Swiss chocolate and cocoa manufacturer, recently launched its latest cocoa powder, MALEO, across the Asia-Pacific region in April 2024. The standard 10/12 MALEO range enhances the visual appeal of cocoa-based creations with its deep brown color and delivers a richer, more intense chocolate flavor, ensuring a robust and prolonged cocoa experience. Meanwhile, the high-fat 22/24 MALEO powder offers a creamier mouthfeel, improving texture and overall enjoyment, while also exhibiting enhanced consistency in various applications by absorbing less water. Utilizing MALEO cocoa powders can lead to significant cost savings, with potential reductions in powder usage of up to 20 percent.
