How Big Is The Rapeseed Oil Market In 2026, And How Fast Will It Grow?
The rapeseed oil market has demonstrated robust expansion over recent years. Its valuation is projected to increase from $27.6 billion in 2025 to $29.1 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. Historically, this market’s growth is attributable to factors such as the broader cultivation of oilseeds, a surge in vegetable oil consumption, the expansion of food processing industries, a growing understanding of healthy fats, and the availability of extensive oil extraction facilities.
The rapeseed oil market is anticipated to show robust expansion over the coming years, with projections indicating a rise to $36.07 billion by 2030, progressing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. This growth during the forecast period is fueled by an escalating demand for oils with low saturated fat content, an intensified focus on sustainable biofuels, the expansion of organic food consumption, increasing investments in oilseed processing, and its wider application in cosmetic and personal care products. Significant trends expected in this period encompass a growing consumer preference for healthier cooking oils, a surge in demand for organic and cold-pressed oils, the expanded incorporation of rapeseed oil into processed foods, its increasing adoption in biodiesel applications, and the improvement of quality and traceability standards.

Rapeseed Oil Market Growth Driver: The Key Factor Behind Rising Demand
Rising feed production is anticipated to boost the rapeseed oil market’s expansion in the future. Feed production involves transforming raw agricultural products into animal feed, which is then specifically formulated through manufacturing to fulfill the nutritional needs of various animal species across different life stages. Concurrently, consumers’ increasing focus on healthy eating habits is boosting demand for rapeseed oil, which is rich in antioxidant vitamin E and monounsaturated fats. For example, the European Feed Manufacturers Federation, an industry association based in Belgium, reported in October 2024 that poultry feed production is forecast to be the only sector demonstrating growth potential in 2024, with a modest increase of 1.6% over 2023. Consequently, the expansion of feed production is propelling the growth of the rapeseed market.

Rapeseed Oil Market Trends: Key Developments Shaping 2026 And Beyond
Leading companies within the rapeseed oil market are concentrating on introducing advanced products, such as bio-based surfactants, to enhance formulation stability and moisturizing properties in personal care items. A bio-based surfactant originates from renewable biological sources like plants or microorganisms and functions by reducing surface tension between liquids or between a liquid and a solid. For instance, in December 2024, Sasol Chemicals, a South Africa-based speciality chemical company, introduced NACOL 18-98, a stearyl alcohol derived from rapeseed, specifically designed for the personal care industry. NACOL 18-98 is a bio-based, palm oil-free stearyl alcohol produced solely from segregated rapeseed oil, compliant with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and is effective as a conditioning agent, stabiliser, consistency regulator, structuring agent, and opacifier in conditioners and moisturisers, making it an optimal choice for sustainable and high-performance personal care formulations.
