The market for oilseeds is anticipated to expand due to their health advantages. The oilseed is used in many sectors because it is rich in vital fatty acids, including linoleic acid, vitamins, and several other beneficial nutrients.

Biodiesel is a substitute for diesel fuel that is made from animal fats, discarded cooking oil, or vegetable oils. Due to its renewability, biodegradability, low emission profile, nontoxic nature, and high flash point, biodiesel is really and financially more focused than regular diesel. Numerous oilseed crops and animal fats can be used to make biodiesel. It is believed that a variety of both traditional (sunflower, safflower; soybean, cottonseed, rapeseed, and palm) and unconventional (jatropha and moringa) oil crops provide good diesel fuel. Mustard, a relative of rapeseed and canola, has also demonstrated to be a superior cover crop with strong potential as a feedstock for biodiesel. Although both safflower and sunflower generate oil that may be used to make biodiesel, both oils are often more highly valued as high-quality cooking oils. In some regions of the world, tropical oilseed plants like oil palm and coconut are utilised as feedstocks for biodiesel production. Research is also being done on other warm temperature feedstocks, including jatropha, croton, candlenut, and tallow tree. Several plants, in addition to the primary oilseed crops, are now being investigated as feedstocks for biodiesel. Two mustard relatives that have potential as oilseed crops are lesquerella and pennycress. If existing disease issues can be resolved, hazelnuts might prove to be a profitable new fuel for biodiesel.

North America region held the highest share in the Oilseed Market of approximately 35% globally in 2021. This is because more cooking oil is being used in everyday cooking, which boosts the production of oilseeds. Additionally, as soybean output has expanded in the United States, the market is growing faster due to the rise in consumption of soybean oil. The top producer and second-largest exporter of soybeans worldwide is the United States. About 90% of the oilseeds produced in the US are soybeans. The North American oilseed market is expected to increase as a result of a number of reasons, such as the use of cutting-edge technology for crop cultivation and processing, rising soybean output, and rising consumer interest in oilseed goods.
