Market drivers
Article Abstract:
The publication of Dept of Health standards influenced the decline of fat in the British diet between 1989 and 1999. Also, the increased use of convenience foods and less cooking at home mean lower use of fats and oils. Changes in consumer perception of healthful foods are blamed for declines in the sale of high-calorie items such as fats.

Market size and trends
Article Abstract:
Sales of dietary oils and fats declined in the United Kingdom between 1997 and 1999 and then rose in 2000. An overall decline of 9% in volume but a smaller value decline was attributed to increased market share for butter, which reflects the influence of taste and convenience.
