Shea
Butter is an extracted product, which is a vegetable oil or fat
containing triglycerides. It is ivory or off-white colored compound
which is extracted from the nut of Vitellaria
paradoxa (African
Shea tree). Shea butter is a sustainable source of edible fat, and is
used as a vegetal source of stearic acid in cosmetics and chocolate
industry. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in
2015, the natural cosmetics sale in Europe witnessed a growth of 6%
while the growth in North America was 7% as compared to the overall
growth of the global natural cosmetics which was 2.5%. According to
the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), along
with other companies a classification system was suggested for Shea
butter untying it into five grades which are: A (raw or unrefined,
extracted using water), B (refined), C (highly refined and extracted
with solvents such as hexane), D (lowest uncontaminated grade), E
(with contaminants).

Market
Drivers
The
Shea butter market is majorly driven by its adoption as a substitute
to cocoa butter in the chocolate industry. Different parts of the
Shea tree such as roots, stems, leaves, fruits and the bark are used
for the treatment of various diseases and infections such as wound
infections, dysentery, skin diseases, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal
tract infections. Shea butter is used as a treatment for inflammation
of the nasal congestion, nostrils, cough, leprosy and rheumatism and
in treatments of minor bone dislocation. Shea butter is used as a raw
material for the production of soap, margarine, candle, and
detergent. The low quality butter along with its by-products from the
processed nuts are tarnished on clay or mud walls, which acts as a
waterproofing agent to protects the walls during the rainy season.
Shea butter is also used by the African pregnant women for healing
purpose after circumcision which helps to accelerate the process of
healing and prevents stretch marks. According to Global Shea Alliance
(GSA) until 2014 no reports were filed due to the consumption of Shea
butter or its yields. According to National Center for Biotechnology
Information (NCBI), Shea butter is expected to gain significant
traction to its application in cosmetic, soap making, and traditional
medicine in rural areas. Also, it is projected to gain traction in
international markets, owing to its richness in food nutrients, which
are utilized as a baking fat, margarine
and in other fatty spreads, confectionery and chocolate industry in
Europe and Asia Pacific.
