commentaires · 156 Vues

The Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market for fats & oils. The region is home to two important palm and palm kernel oil-producing countries namely Malaysia, and Indonesia: and two major fats & oils consuming countries namely China, and India.

The global fats and oils market is estimated to be USD 236.7 billion in 2021; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% to reach USD 285.2 billion by 2026. The global fats oils market is being highly driven by robust demand dynamics emanating from both the food and non-food application sectors. Although country-level dietary guidelines advocate a switch to unsaturated fats, the sales of butter and all the other vegetable oils are witnessing decent growth because they are perceived as being more natural. The fats oils market is also driven by non-food utilization, particularly for the production of oleochemicals and biofuels. Mandatory blending targets of biofuels have encouraged the uptake of these commercially important lipid compounds in the Western markets, which were soon adopted by developing countries.
