Market Overview
The fats and oils market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the different segments of the fats and oils market, from edible vegetable oil to other associated industries that use fats and oils extensively in manufacturing processes. Many industries and manufacturing facilities fell short of the working force, and raw materials became expensive. The FAO price index reveals a 40% price rise in fats and oils in 2020 and 2021. These prices reached pre-CVODI-19 levels in December 2021. The use of fats and oils as lubricants in various industries increased compared to 2019.
Fats and oils are used extensively in food applications such as confectioners to produce candies and polish confectionery products. Refined olive oil and coconut oil are increasingly used for various bakery applications as they are bland in taste, allowing food to maintain its original flavor. They also do not exhibit any pungency, unlike mustard oil.
Fats and oils have gained prominence as feed products due to their health benefits for poultry and cattle. Fats and oils are high-energy supplements that ensure nutritional balance while minimizing feed costs. Thus, these are added as feed products to reduce the incidence of bloat and energy density in the feed.

Key Market Trends
Increasing Demand for Vegetable Oil in Energy and Cosmetic Industry
Fats and oils are used in various manufacturing processes. With the rising awareness of the sustainable use of fossil fuels, manufacturers are opting for vegetable oils instead of lubricants. They are now being employed as a sustainable form of production in industries such as paints, lubricants, and paper, without the need for chemicals. Non-food uses, particularly oleochemicals, account for a sizable portion of the market. Oils and fats are the sources of oleochemicals. Oleochemicals from palm oil have a better odor and color than those made from low-grade animal fats. In many applications, their increased C16 content and vegetable origin provide advantages. Vegetables are also used as cutting or metal working fluid (MWF) in machinery operations. After processing, the lubricant nature of vegetable oils makes them versatile and helps ease machinery operations, which can be a possible alternative to fossil fuels. With many manufacturers using vegetable oils as lubricants, the demand for vegetable oils has been increasing and driving the market positively.

Europe is the Fastest Growing Region in the Market
A considerable number of policies have been implemented by the authorities of several countries that support the production and consumption of vegetable oils, thus boosting the market’s growth. The European Union’s vegetable oil consumption for biofuel has been primarily driven by the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). This directive, established in 2009, required 10% of the energy consumption in road and rail transport to be generated from renewable sources in 2020. The EU member states (countries) must implement this target along with their national laws and incentives, such as blending mandates. Palm oil contributes to around 20% of the production of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester) and renewable diesel (hydro-treated vegetable oil) in the European Union. The other significant feed-stocks for producing diesel substitutes are rapeseed, used in cooking oils, and animal fats. Additionally, the amount of soybean oil used in biofuel production in the United States has been rising steadily due to the RFS and the biodiesel and renewable diesel tax credits. This trend is likely to continue in the foreseeable future.
