Embracing a plant-powered future
2025
As experts in plant-based oils and fats and with a strong position in the speciality segment, AAK aspires to outgrow the broader edible oils and fats market.
Our strategic execution has delivered strong results, growing with < 10 percent EBIT CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) since 2005. While we will continue to deliver and develop, we also aspire to reach SEK 3+ per kilogram by 2030.
AAK’s profitability has grown significantly. Among the drivers are our innovative speciality solutions, product application and ingredients expertise, closeness to our customers as well as productivity improvements and better portfolio and price management.
Our financial target: A year-on-year operating profit growth, averaging 10 percent over time.
Invest in continued growth
Chocolate & Confectionery Fats and Special Nutrition & Health are two market segments where we have a strong global position.
The increased usage of cocoa butter alternatives and the increasingly health-focused and aging population also present interesting long-term growth opportunities.
Our strategy is to further strengthen our capabilities to continue to grow these segments, which will contribute to increasing the overall higher-value mix in our portfolio.
Optimize for value creation
Bakery, Dairy, and Foodservice are markets that are relatively large and fragmented, often driven by regional and local players with many sub-segments and regional pockets of high-value application opportunities where we have a strong position.
The need to feed a growing global population in an affordable way, and transition to a more sustainable and plant-based food system, creates strong long-term growth opportunities for us.
The strategy is to capture and grow the higher-value sub-segments effectively in these markets, and to work with co-development, innovation and portfolio optimization to extract value from speciality solutions.
Bet for the future
We are well positioned in speciality oils and fats solutions for Plant-based Foods, Personal Care, and Technical Products, with the growing demand for more sustainable alternatives to animal-based fat in the food industry and the demand for alternatives to fossil-based solutions in consumer products and industrial solutions.
Our strategy is based on the capabilities required to capture future growth and value.
Maintain and cultivate
In Feed and Fish Feed, we serve the market with value adding properties such as rumen-protected and coating fat solutions for more efficient production.
Meanwhile, in Natural Emulsifiers, we continue to develop our value propositions and capabilities.
The strategy is to maintain these portfolios regionally and continue to grow organically until we see a larger global opportunity maturing.
