The global plant-based oils market is estimated to reach the USD 110.36 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period from 2020 to 2026. Sunflower, soybean, olive, palm, coconut, rapeseed, cottonseed, and other plants are used to make plant-based oils. Several manufactures have accomplished backward integration and are cultivating raw materials as a result. Hydraulic or screw press-based and solvent-based process are the two most popular methods for extracting plant-based oils. Historically, the hydraulic mechanism has been used for a long period. To reach optimum yield and lower production costs, manufacturers are focusing more on the oil refining process. Enzymatic degumming is preferred by manufacturers over conventional water or chemical degumming. Enzymes attack phospholipid impurities in oil while leaving the majority of the oil alone.

Factors such as the fast-growing food processing industry and the use of alternative fuels such as biodiesel around the world are projected to boost demand growth. Plant-based oils are mainly used in the production of confectionery, bakery, cheese, and other food products. The biggest factor for growth is the steady growth in the food processing industry, which uses plant-based oils for deep-frying. Additionally, the growing demand for healthier oils like olive oil due to the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is augmenting target industry growth. Plant-based oils are also used to create biodiesel and oleochemicals.

Plant-based oils are projected to grow in popularity as the demand for alternative and renewable fuels rises around the world. Plant-based oils are widely consumed in China, the United States, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and other countries. The presence of key players in these countries, as well as the rising demand for plant-based oils in the food processing industries, are helping to fuel the target industry in these countries. Furthermore, the major players are focusing on new product creation to gain a competitive advantage across the globe, which is a key factor behind the market's global expansion.
