VEGETABLE OIL MARKET SIZE & SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS & FORECASTS (2023 - 2028)
Asia-Pacific is the dominant region for the vegetable oil market across the world, and in Asia-Pacific, China holds the largest share of vegetable oil consumption and production. Though the production volume is high, consumption exceeds production, resulting in higher import volumes when compared to export volumes. For instance, according to the US Department of Agriculture, in 2021, China's population consumed around 2.6 million metric tons of sunflower seed oil, an increase from approximately 2.07 million tons in the previous year.
The vegetable oil market is competitive, and the practical strategies adopted by the key players in the market studied include product innovations, partnerships, expansions, and mergers and acquisitions. Sime Darby Plantation Berhad, Wilmar International Limited, Bunge Limited, Golden Agri-Resources, and Archer Daniels Midland Company are some prominent players in the market studied. The major players in the market have a broad geographical presence and extensive product portfolios to cater to numerous consumer demands. This factor assists the companies in maintaining a solid foothold in the market.
The Vegetable Oil Market size is expected to grow from USD 358.14 billion in 2023 to USD 513.44 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 7.47% during the forecast period (2023-2028).
Russia and Ukraine's war has pushed the prices of vegetable oils to an all-time high. The Black Sea countries are significant exporters of sunflower oil. Thus, this war problem has caused vegetable oil prices to rise sharply and has also prompted trade policy reactions globally that further restricted supplies and drive-up expenses. According to the international food policy research institute, with a 40% increase since the day of the invasion, sunflower oil has been most immediately impacted,
Over the short term, the industry is expected to be driven by people's growing awareness of the health benefits of consuming vegetable oils, such as controlling heart health. The monounsaturated fats in foods like olive oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, hazelnut oil, and almond oil are proven to raise good cholesterol levels and minimize the risk of heart and cardiovascular disorders. Vegetable oils are currently in high demand since they create fuels, dishwashers, and perfume compositions. This is one of the main driving forces for the market's expansion. For instance, according to USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, the volume of used cooking oil used as a feedstock for biodiesel fuel production in India in 2021 was 55,000 metric tons, increasing from 50,000 metric tons in 2020.
