This market is projected to expand from $86.41 billion in 2025 to reach $90.2 billion by 2026, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%.

The oils market is projected to experience robust expansion over the coming years, reaching a size of $110.31 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%.

Oils Market Development Factors: What’s Supporting Demand?
The rising need for food is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the oils market in the future. Food is defined as a substance primarily composed of protein, carbohydrates, fat, and various other nutrients, utilized by the human body to supply energy, aid development, and facilitate essential bodily functions. Oils like olive oil, canola oil, and sunflower oil, recognized for their monounsaturated fat content, are incorporated into food preparation, which contributes to lowering the risk of heart and cardiovascular diseases while elevating beneficial cholesterol levels. As an illustration, in October 2023, data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a US-based government agency, indicated that food spending constituted 12.9% of the typical U.S. household’s total expenditures in 2023, showing a marginal increase from 12.8% in 2022. Consequently, the heightened demand for food is fueling the expansion of the oils market.

Oils Market Transformation Trends: What Innovations Are Driving Change?
Leading companies within the oils market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as certified sustainable hard palm kernel oil (HPKO), to address the increasing demand for edible oils that are clean-label, low in trans-fat, vegan-friendly, and responsibly sourced. Certified sustainable HPKO is a specialty fat derived from palm kernels, offering high oxidative stability and a neutral sensory profile, making it well-suited for confectionery and frozen applications. For instance, in February 2023, KTC Edibles Ltd., an independent UK-based manufacturer and distributor of edible oils, introduced certified sustainable hard palm kernel oil (KPKO), a 100% vegetable oil acceptable for vegans and low in trans fats. The application of HPKO is ideal for ice cream and confectionery goods. KTC HPKO has a neutral flavor and odor, ensuring it blends effectively with both dairy-based and vegan products, given its freedom from additives, allergens, and genetically modified components. The company’s expanding line of premium edible oils and fats now includes Certified Sustainable Segregated HPKO, joining other products in the KTC range, such as the UK’s first and only Halal beef dripping and a recently launched premium Italian lard.
