Global Fats & Oils market is expected to reach USD 320.4 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4% from 2021 to 2030. Many reasons are contributing to the market's significant growth potential, including greater consumer awareness of healthier options such as vegetable oils, rising health concerns about traditional fats, and higher consumption of baked and processed foods. Furthermore, government policies that encourage the use of biodiesel and reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuels have a favorable impact on market growth. Growing interest in using oleochemicals instead of petrochemicals to make soaps, paints, detergents, varnishes, and lubricants play a role in market expansion as well.

Market Overview:

Fats are organic molecules that are soluble in organic solvents but mostly insoluble in water. At room temperature, they are solid. At room temperature, there are two types of fats that are solid. Saturated and trans fats are the two types of fats. Solid fat is another name for saturated fat. When compared to animal fat or red meat, fish and poultry contain less saturated fat. This fat has the potential to raise the cholesterol levels. Saturated fats can also be found in tropical oils such cocoa butter, coconut oil, and palm oil. It's usually found in considerable amounts in non-dairy products and snacks. Cakes, butter, and cookies are examples of foods high in saturated fats. Fats are made up of the same basic elements as carbohydrates: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. However, the smallest units of fats (called fat molecules) are larger than carbohydrates molecules, and the proportions of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in fats differ from those in carbohydrates. Oils are fats that are liquid at normal temperature.

This group includes unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fat-rich foods can aid to lower cholesterol levels. Unsaturated fats are divided into two categories. Polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats are two types of unsaturated fats. Nuts, vegetable oils, and avocado all contain monounsaturated fat. Monounsaturated fats are found in foods that help manage cholesterol levels by keeping good HDL cholesterol high and bad LDL cholesterol low. Oils including sunflower, corn, and soybean contain polyunsaturated fat. These fats are abundant in seafood.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

• Increased global consumption of vegetable oils is fueled by rising food demand

To generate uniformity in high-quality crude, edible oilseeds such as sunflower oil, palm oil, canola oil, soybean oil among others, are purified using various processes like degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization. Minor components are chemically or physically removed during the purification process since they are considered contaminants. Refined fats are a term used to describe high-quality edible fats. Monounsaturated fats are abundant in refined fats. High-fat fats are produced utilising cutting-edge technology and are regarded a nutrient-rich food. As a result, their consumption increases year after year because of increased use and population.

Restraints:

• Increase in health problems

The global fats and oils market is expected to be hampered by the rise in health problems caused by excessive intake of fats and oils. Regulations governing food safety and labelling issues are expected to impede industry expansion even more. High raw material prices are projected to have a negative impact on the market's growth prospects.

Opportunities:

• Supportive policies for the use of vegetable oil in a variety of countries

A significant number of initiatives have been developed by the governments of numerous countries to encourage the production and use of vegetable oils, resulting in market growth. The Renewable Energy Directive has had a major impact on the European Union's use of vegetable oil for biofuel (RED). This directive, which was created in 2009, calls for renewable energy to account for 10% of total energy consumption in road and rail transportation by 2020. This aim must be implemented by EU member states (countries), as well as their national regulations and incentives, such as blending mandates.Palm oil accounts for roughly 20% of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester) and renewable diesel (hydro-treated vegetable oil) production in the European Union. Rapeseed, which is also used in cooking oils, and animal fats are two other important feedstocks for producing diesel alternatives. Furthermore, because of the RFS and the biodiesel and renewable diesel tax credits, the volume of soybean oil utilised in biofuel production in the United States has been continuously increasing, and this trend is expected to continue soon.

• Increased health awareness

Because the Millennium age and young customers tend to avoid highly processed goods and foods, demand for unrefined natural oils is increasing. As people become more aware of their health, they are more willing to adapt and seek out animal and vegetable fats, such as butter, eggs, olive oil, and avocado fat. Butter-based fats are recovering their popularity due to their superior performance in supporting clean and straightforward ingredient labelling. This is because for Gen Z and Millennial consumers, clean, simple labelling are the new standard.A surge in research and development to develop innovative uses such as trans-fat substitutes and biodiesel production promises plenty of potential for local and oil market participants.

Challenges:

• High intensity competition

High-intensity competition is an issue for the industry, and it poses a challenge to the fats and oil market.

Segmentation Analysis:

The global fats & oils market has been segmented based on type, application, and regions.

• The type segment is divided into fats and oils. The fats segment includes lard, butter, tallow, and specialty fats. The butter sub-segment is expected to account for the largest market share in the fats and oils market over the forecast period. Butter has been shown to improve immunity, regulate hormones, protect vision, boost metabolism, increase brain function, lower the risk of heart disease and blood pressure, protect against cancer, act as a powerful antioxidant, and protect against gastrointestinal issues and conditions, among other things. Furthermore, butter is made up of around 80% fat and 15% water, whereas margarine is a common butter substitute created primarily from animal fats. The oils segment is subdivided into soybean oil, palm oil, vegetable oil, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, cotton seed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil, and others. Because of the easy availability, health benefits, cost-effectiveness that have pushed the market for fats and oils, palm oil is expected to be the largest segment throughout the forecast period. The application segment is divided into industrial, food, and animal feed. The food segment is projected to observe the fastest CAGR of around 4.7% in the fats and oils market over the forecast period. Fats and oils are used in a variety of items in the food industry, including chocolates and confectioneries, bakery products, processed foods, and dairy products. They impart desirable characteristics to a variety of dishes and contribute to the tenderness of the shortened cake. Fats also help to build texture in cakes by aerating the dough. As a result, they are expected to have a larger market share than industrial applications.

Regional Segmentation Analysis:

The regions analyzed for the market include North America, Europe, South America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific region emerged as the largest market for the global fats & oils market with a 36.1% share of the market revenue in 2020.

• The Asia-Pacific fats and oils market is expected to rise due to rising population and rising fats and oil consumption, particularly in Asian nations such as China and India.
• Over the forecast period, the European fats and oil market is estimated to increase at a significant CAGR. Due to its health benefits and practicality, European sales of virgin coconut oil for industrial purposes have surged in the last decade. Europe, specifically Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Sweden, are the key importing markets. During the forecast period, the South American fats and oil market is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR.
