The Global Market for Palm Oil is Projected to Exceed 85 Million Metric Tons by 2024
Focus
on Biofuels Made from Palm Oil Production Waste as an Energy Security Solution
Drives the Global Palm Oil Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA
launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers,
market share, size, and demand forecasts on the global Palm Oil market. The global market for Palm
Oil is projected to exceed 85 million metric tons by 2024, driven by increasing demand
in various applications owing to the cost-effective, healthy and Trans-fat-free
nature of palm oil, and growing prominence of certified sustainable palm oil.
Extracted
from the flesh and inner stone of the palm fruit, palm oil is mainly produced
in the tropical forests of South East Asia, Africa, and South America. Myriad
benefits of palm oil over other oil varieties such as soybean oil, rapeseed
oil, sunflower oil, etc., which are driving its widespread adoption across the
world include prevention of vitamin A deficiency, neurological disorders,
cancer, aging in addition to controlling hypertension, high cholesterol and
cyanide poisoning. Palm oil also represents a key ingredient in almost 50% of
all food and non-food items in a grocery store or supermarket due to its
technical superiority as well as economic benefits. Few of the innumerable food
and non-food items containing palm in varied ingredient forms include
chocolate, cookies, detergents, instant noodles, ice creams, lipsticks,
packaged bread, pizza dough, shampoo, and soaps, among others. Cost
effectiveness of palm oil stems from the fact that palm plant is 10 times more
productive than soybean and rapeseed/mustard oil as both the fleshy outer
part and inner stone are used to produce palm oil, and palm kernel oil,
respectively. Another favorable attribute of palm driving steady growth of the
market over the years is the absence of unhealthy Trans-fat in palm, which is
the most undesirable trait in rapeseed, soybean and sunflower oils.
Future
growth in the market will be driven by growing prominence of certified
sustainable palm oil (CSPO) against the backdrop of public concerns over environmental,
social, and deforestation issues related to palm oil cultivation. Demand
for sustainably produced palm oil is also driven by growing focus of developed
nations on clean and green fuel and growing application as a feedstock in biofuel production. The
biofuel
productivity yield of palm oil is the highest among all oilseed crops and is
surpassed only by sugarcane in terms of productivity yield. Other factors driving
increasing consumption of palm oil include its attribute of being the cheapest
form of vegetable oil; increasing production in Indonesia and Malaysia; growing
demand from the food sector for use as margarine, bakery fat, frying fat, and
cooking oil; and high yields produced from a hectare of palm oil plantation. Increasing
consumer focus on health & wellness along with undesirable effect of
partially hydrogenated oils on the cholesterol level is driving food and snack
processors to switch towards Trans-fat-free, and GMO-free palm oil.
As stated by the new market research report on
Palm Oil,
Asia-Pacific represents the largest and the fastest growing market worldwide
with a CAGR of 5.6% over the analysis period. Major factors driving market
growth in the region include ballooning population and the corresponding growth
in demand for food commodities, improved retailing network, changing dietary habits, rapid urbanization, steadily growing economies,
improving living standards, increasing crop yields and oil production,
changing facets of consumer health concerns, and rising demand from oleochemicals. Production in the region increased
significantly in recent years driven by the increase in cumulative land area of
palm oil plantations, rising oil palm yield, and investments in technology and
R&D related activities.
