The global vegetable oil market size is expected to register a substantial CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing disposable income, rising population, exposure to different cuisines, and improved living standards.
Vegetable oil is a natural oil that is derived from the seeds, nuts and fruits. It provides a supply of nutrition and industrial raw materials to humans. Vegetable oil can be found in a wide range of products, from food items to cosmetic products. Vegetable oil is used in the food industry as a cooking oil and in non-dairy creamers and ice-creams.
Fatty acids produced from vegetable oil are utilized to make cosmetics, bactericides, and medicines. Vegetable oil has traditionally been used in the manufacturing of soaps, detergents, greases, lubricants, and candles. Vegetable oil has recently found a substantial non-food application in the biofuel industry, where it is used as a substitute for mineral oil in power plants and as a feedstock for biodiesel synthesis. As a result, the global vegetable oil market is steadily expanding.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Changing dietary preferences is driving the demand for vegetable oil in the emerging economies.
- The shutdown of hotels, restaurants, and catering services owing to the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a major drop in demand for vegetable oil. However, relaxation in restrictions is expected to help the market recover by end of 2021.
- High price fluctuation of vegetable oils can hamper the market growth.
- Adulteration in vegetable oils can have a variety of negative health impacts, which can hinder the market expansion in the coming years.
- Vegetable oils are a key feedstock in the manufacturing of bio-lubricants. Bio-lubricants demand has been driven by a tightening regulatory environment regulating disposability and recyclability of petrochemical-derived lubricants. This, in turn, is projected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players.

Vegetable Oil Market Segment Insights
Sunflower oil segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace
Based on types, the market is segmented into palm oil, soyabean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, and other types. The sunflower oil segment is expected to represent a key market share during the forecast period. Increasing awareness about health benefits, such as improvement in cardiovascular function and arthritis, asthma, and colon cancer prevention is driving the segment growth. Apart this, sunflower oil has become a key health care product as it aids in cell structure restoration. Biofuel laws in Europe and the US restricts soybean oil availability, which has shifted the consumers to use other vegetable oils such as palm, palm kernel, and sunflower oils.
Food segment is projected to hold a major market share
On the basis of application, the vegetable Oil market is divided into food, feed, and industrial. The food segment is expected to constitute a major market share during the forecast period. The usage of vegetable oil in the food segment accounts for a significant portion in the worldwide FMCG market. Salad and cooking oils are made from refined, bleached, deodorized, and occasionally de-waxed or mildly hydrogenated and winterized vegetable oils. Moreover, mayonnaise, deep frying oils, margarines and spreads, chocolate fats, ice cream fats, bakery fats, confectionery filling and coating fats, vegetable fats for dairy products, and fats for infant nutrition are primarily made up of fats and oils.
Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market
In terms of regions, the market is categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. China consumes and produces the most vegetable oil in Asia Pacific. Despite the high output volume, consumption outnumbers production, resulting in larger import volumes than export levels. Palm, soybean, rapeseed, peanut, sunflower, and olive oils are the most preferred vegetable oils in China. Soybean and palm oil have dominated China’s vegetable oil industry for the previous five years. Some of the largest edible vegetable oil businesses active in the Asia Pacific market includes Wilmar International Ltd (Yihai Kerry), Cofco Corporation, and Xiwang Food. Another significant country contributing to the market is Japan. The vast majority of olive oil used in Japan comes from Southern Europe and is utilized for both cooking and non-food purposes.
