Global Palm Oil Market by Product Types (Organic and Conventional), By Forms (Crude Palm Oil, RBD Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, and Fractionated Palm Oil), By End-Use (Food and Beverage, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Biofuel and Energy, Pharmaceutical, and Industrial), and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa)
Market Outlook:
The global palm oil market was valued at USD 44,712.0 Million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 102,362.0 Million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of oil palm trees. The scientific name of the oil palm tree is Elaeis guineensis. Generally, two types of palm oil are produced; crude, derived from the fleshy fruit and palm kernel, derived from the kernel or the stone of the fruit. Palm oil is a versatile oil and has many different properties and functions, which makes it a widely used oil. Palm oil is semi-solid at room temperature. It is resistant to oxidation, which provides long shelf-life of products. It is widely used for frying application in the food industry, as it is stable at high temperatures, which helps it to maintain the crispy and crunchy texture of the food. This odorless and slight yellow colored oil does not alter the look and smell of the food.
Oil palm trees are native to Africa but were brought to South-East Asia as an ornamental tree crop around 100 years ago. Presently, Indonesia and Malaysia are major producers of palm oil. They export palm oil to various countries across the globe. In the countries in Asia and Africa, palm oil is widely used for cooking. Major applications of palm oil is in the food & beverages industry and biofuel & energy applications. The oil is extensively used in the cosmetics industry and personal care products. Palm oil is an important and multipurpose vegetable oil, which is used as a raw material in food and non-food industries.
Market Dynamics
Drivers
Increasing Preference for Organic Products Creating Growth Prospects
The growth of the global palm oil market is attributed to the expansion of the organic farming industry and growing consumer preferences for organic products. Several nations adopting organic farming by implementing regulations and standards. This significantly boosts the demand for organic food products, especially in North America and Europe, where sales of food products reached nearly 90% of total organic food consumption. Additionally, the demand for organic food in the counties in North America and Europe is growing, thus propelling the demand for organic products such as palm oil. Moreover, increasing demand is encouraging retailers to make organic food products available in conventional stores. Two big supermarkets, Woolworths and Coles, are now selling a broad variety of organic products, thus improving the convenience of buyers. Thus, driving the growth of the global palm oil market during the forecast period.
Palm Oil Replacing Less Healthy Fats in Foods Products
The demand for palm oil is growing steadily. Palm oil is being utilized in a wide range of food products that are being made available in supermarket shelves. Palm oil is odorless and high in yield; therefore, it is a majorly consumed vegetable oil worldwide. Palm oil is used in a large number of food and consumer goods akin to corn and soybeans. Additionally, rising consumer usage of the oil and recent mandates for biodiesel worldwide propel the demand for palm oil. This oil is the main ingredient in nearly 50% of all processed food products, as it offers various health benefits such as improved metabolism, decreased risk of cancer & cardiovascular disease, and ability to slow down degenerative neurological diseases.
Restrains
Government Measures to Curb Palm Oil Production due to Carbon Emissions
Expanding palm plantations requires the clearing of large swaths of rainforest, which results in long-term environmental damage. Palm oil has been and continues to be a significant cause of deforestation in some of the world's most bio diverse forests, destroying habitats for endangered species such as Pygmy Elephant, Orangutan, and Sumatran Rhino. This forest destruction, combined with the conversion of carbon-rich peat soils, causes the emission of large quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and leads to climate changes; therefore, several governments are compelling players to follow a private sustainable approach for palm oil production. This, in turn, has caused several problems for small- and medium-sized players.
Palm Oil Prices Higher than those of Refined Oils and Volatility in Prices
Oil palm has much lower production costs per tons of oil than annual oilseeds such as soya, rapeseed, and sunflower. Soybean processors benefited from high credits from the selling of their food production. Large palm oil producers estimate all planting costs from tree planting to replacement to monitor yearly variability on the basis of tree age and weather. Moreover, high costs associated with the production and processing of palm oil are anticipated to hamper the global palm oil market during the forecast period. Additionally, volatility in prices of agricultural commodities is expected to hinder the production of palm kernels, resulting in price fluctuations of palm oil and related products.
Segmental Outlook
On the basis of types, the market is segmented into organic and conventional. The conventional segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market and is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. Rising use of organic palm oil for household and commercial cooking applications such as frying and manufacturing of baked goods and snack foods is anticipated to propel the segment growth.
On the basis of forms, the palm oil market is segmented into crude palm oil, RBD palm oil, palm kernel oil, and fractionated palm oil. The crude palm oil segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market, while the palm kernel oil segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Crude palm oil is widely used oil for cooking applications. Refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) palm oil is widely used for frying applications and manufacturing of margarine, vanaspathy, and ice creams; whereas, palm kernel oil is suitable for commercial cooking applications. These are some of the factors, which contributes for the growth of the segment.
Based on end-use, the palm oil market is divided into food & beverage, personal care & cosmetics, biofuel & energy, pharmaceutical, and industrial. The biofuel & energy segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market, while the food & beverage segment is projected to expand at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing usage of palm oil in the food and beverages industry is a major factor propelling the market during the forecast period. Moreover, growing awareness among consumers regarding the positive health benefits of palm oil encourages end-use industries to use palm oil in its products.
Regional Outlook
In terms of regions, the global Palm Oil market is fragmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific constituted one third share in 2020. The market in the Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. Presence of key manufacturers in the region is one of the factors, which constitutes for the significant share of the market. Rising adoption of palm oils in the food and beverage industry has led to the rise in the export of palm oil from the region. This is one of the factors, which constitutes for the growth of the palm oil market in Asia Pacific.
