In terms of volume, the source segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the de-oiled lecithin market in 2018. The demand for soy de-oiled lecithin is expected to increase at a significant rate in animal feed applications, owing to low cost when compared to other types of de-oiled lecithin, which helps reduce the over feed cost and increase yield, especially in developing and emerging countries.

The confectionery products segment is estimated to be the largest segment in 2018, with USD 34.6 million. De-oiled lecithin is a vital ingredient in chocolate processing. It provides viscosity control, shortens the processing time, and increases the processing stability during the manufacturing of chocolate. Initially, chocolate manufacturers were reluctant to use de-oiled lecithin, as it had to be declared with an E-number under the EU law. However, the rise in prices of cocoa butter has urged manufacturers to shift to de-oiled lecithin as a suitable and cost-effective substitute. Further, in Asia Pacific, China is expected to create lucrative opportunities for manufacturers. Increase in demand for high-quality chocolate is expected to create a robust opportunity, especially for European manufacturers to expand in the country. Thus, de-oiled lecithin is expected to gain immense popularity among chocolate manufacturers in the coming years, owing to its verticality in the chocolate industry, thus making confectionery the largest market for de-oiled lecithin application, providing potential growth opportunities for its growth in future as well.
