Based on Region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & and Africa.

Palm Oil Market Analysis by Origin 

The government around the palm oil plantation nations i.e. Indonesia and Malaysia target sustainable and organic production of oil. Growing customer consciousness regarding the harmful effects of agrochemicals such as pesticides and insecticides used for the cultivation of traditional crops. Also, the negative effect on the environment and human health has created a demand for organic products. 

Organically grown plant negates the use of any type of chemicals or agrochemicals from the point of cultivation to the processing and packaging of the product. Therefore, the demand for the organic segment of products is predicted to grow at a rewarding rate over the forecast period.

Palm Oil Market Analysis by Product

The presence of high-level saturated fat enables palm kernel oil (PKO) to offer superior oxidative stability after frying, which makes it an attractive choice for restaurants. Palm oil is also grabbing the attention of big commercial food producers as it retains its property of being solid at room temperature which makes it very easy to transport long distances and preserve for a long time. Growing consumer focus on health & fitness along with negative side-effect of partially hydrogenated cooking oils on the cholesterol level is forcing food and snack producers to move towards trans-fat-free, cost-effective options such as palm oil. 

United States holds the largest regional market for PKO, accounting for 28.8% of all global sales in 2021. China registered the fastest compounded annual growth rate of 8.9% over the analysis period, to reach USD 2,800 million by the close of the analysis period.

Palm Oil Market Analysis by End-Users

Palm oil use in biofuel and energy accounts for a substantial revenue share of roughly 16.1% in 2021 and is expected to expand steadily throughout the forecast period. Palm oil is expected to be in high demand for biofuels all over the world.

Biodiesel has received extremely good recognition amongst consumers as a powerful alternative for diesel in the past years.  Palm oil is emphasized as the conventional source for biodiesel manufacturing and is taken into consideration to be a cheap alternative to soybean. From the beginning of 2021, numerous guidelines and mandates which have been initiated in different countries are predicted to change the trend of the market in the longer run. For instance, from the first of Jan 2021, Indonesia accelerated crude palm oil and diesel mixture to 30% (B30). This possibly will increase palm oil consumption in the region. Similarly, France discontinued the biofuel tax, a move that might incline its economic system towards biofuels or biodiesel.

The food and beverage enterprise is another outstanding end-user, in which palm oil finds its main applications as a safe-to-eat cooking oil. It is taken into consideration as a cheap alternative to different cooking oils including those sourced from soybean and sunflower and has excessive popularity amongst food processors which is predicted to enhance segment growth.

Palm Oil Market Dynamics

Palm Oil Market Driver

  • The use of palm oil in biodiesel is one of the most lucrative driving factors that will push the demand for palm oil.

Because the processed food and beverage sector accounts for a sizable share of the market. As a result, an increase in demand in this sector will drive the demand for more items.

Palm Oil Market Restraint 

  • The palm oil production is seeing a restraint from labor and workforce due to the disruption created by COVID-19. The reduction in the labor force led to less efficient production which in turn in increasing the production cost and reduced the margins leading to less profit.
  • Sudden spike of demand as government policies for diesel blending with palm oil also led to problems in the supply chain which, in turn, is creating restrain for the sector that was anticipated to grow at a very fast scale.
