The term Specialty Oils especially refer to the commodity oils that have special dietary and functional properties. They are derived from the sources like palms, coconuts, soybeans, sunflower, rapeseed, peanuts, and olive oils.
In 2024, the estimated value of the specialty oils market is US $12.6 billion, and it is projected to grow at a significant rate of 7.8% to reach the US $19.8 billion by 2032. This number will increase day by day due to the growing demand for bakery, processed food, and nutritious food products. This growing market of specialty oils is helping to raise the living standards of a large segment of the population, especially developing the markets that trigger demand for a variety of edible fats and oils.
COVID-19 Analysis
During COVID-19, the supply and demands of specialty oils faced stringent measures. The global Specialty Oils Market shifted due to the coronavirus response with an increasing uncertainty regarding the prices of these commodities. Palm Oil, the largest type of globally produced oil, also faced the same impact and has been hit hard by declining demand amid price uncertainty. According to top producers of vegetable oil markets such as Wilmar International and Mahwah Group, in Indonesia and Malaysia, the epidemic has disrupted the palm oil trade and disrupted their production. But the bakeries and confectionery industries noticed an increase in sales as people stocked these products during the lockdown.
The main drivers of the specialty oils are algae oil, avocado oil, butter oil, coconut oil fish oil, flax oil, hemp seed oil, tree nut oil, and sesame seed oil. These oils not only have unique properties that make them desirable in industrial and non-edible applications but also are marketed for their health-promoting properties.
As the saying goes, anything excess is poison. Similarly, excessive consumption of these specialty oils can be harmful to human health as well. They increase the level of low-density lipoproteins and decrease the level of high-density lipoproteins in the blood, which increases the risk of thrombosis. This is due to the PUFA in vegetable oil which oxidizes automatically during food processing, resulting in inflammatory peroxides and hydroperoxides.
The main challenge in this Specialty Oils Market is the gap between the demand and supply of oilseed products, like edible oils, due to their limited availability. India and European countries import large quantities of palm oil from Indonesia and Malaysia, which are the top producers due to their favorable climatic conditions.
For many years the preference for natural products has been growing significantly over synthetic chemicals in the beauty and personal care industry. Particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, the ultimate causes to drive the market for organic cosmetics and personal care products are the millennial population growth, online presence, and internet usage, and increasing per capita income for sustainable and growing awareness of environmentally friendly products. This resulted in an increase in demand for the specialty oils market in recent days.
