The Plant-based Oils market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% to reach $92.87 Billion in 2028.
The global plant-based oils market is projected to register revenue by value USD 110.36 billion by 2026. Plant-based oils are fats extracted from plants, most commonly from seeds. Plant oils, like most food fats, increase the palatability of foods. The food industry often promotes plant-based oils as "healthy." Plant oils are consumed in a variety of ways, including margarine, dried foods, lettuce oils, and cooking oils. Palm kernel oil, flaxseed oil, cottonseed oil, olive oil, almond oil, and sunflower seed oil are examples of plant-based oils. The two most common methods for extracting plant-based oils are hydraulic or screw press-based extraction and solvent-based extraction.
Fast-growing food processing industry and the widespread use of renewable fuels such as biodiesel are among major factors driving growth of the global industry. Confectionery, bakery, cheese, and other food items are also made from plant-based oils. The steady rise in the food processing industry, which uses plant-based oils for deep-frying, is the most important factor for growth. Furthermore, due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, there is a growing demand for healthy oils like olive oil, which is boosting the target industry's growth. The industry's biggest problem, though, is fluctuating raw material costs. The production of raw materials such as soybean, sunflower, and others is affected by changing climatic conditions. As a result, the supply of raw materials, as well as their quality, are critical factors in deciding the final product cost.
