Increasing demand for trans-fat-free oils is notably driving market growth. The market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for edible oils with lower fat content, driven by rising health consciousness and concerns over food safety. The incidence of health issues such as digestive disorders, diabetes, and obesity has increased in recent years, leading consumers to seek out nutrient-dense, clean-label, organic, and non-GMO food products. This shift in food consumption patterns is reflected in the growing popularity of meal replacement products, particularly among populations with high rates of obesity, overweight, and diabetes. In addition to food products, oilseeds are also used extensively in industrial applications such as inks and paints, plastics and resins, glycerols, fatty acids, and oleochemicals. The versatility of oilseeds extends to the production of phytochemicals, including flavonoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols, phenolic compounds, and polyphenols, which are used in medicines and health supplements.
Moreover, oilseed crops, such as soybean, cottonseed, palm kernel, groundnut, rapeseed, copra, and others, are essential sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and livestock feeds. The impact of climate change and weather changes on crop productivity is a major concern for the oilseed industry, necessitating the development of biotech traits and innovative farming practices to ensure sustainable production. The market for oilseeds is further fueled by the growing demand for biofuels, which are derived from oilseeds, and the increasing use of oilseed meal as a source of protein in animal feeds. Thus, such factors are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
