Palm oil refers to edible vegetable oil which is procured from the mesocarp of the fruit of oil palms. The appearance of palm oil is reddish in color due to the high beta carotene content. Palm oil consumption is associated with numerous health benefits such as improving eye vision, increasing metabolism of the body, boosting the immune system, preventing premature aging and vitamin A deficiency, and reducing the risk of cancer and heart diseases. As a result, palm oil finds wide applications in the domestic and commercial sectors around the world.

Market Trends:

Palm oil softens skin, improves hair growth and is a rich source of vitamin K, owing to which it is used in the manufacturing of cosmetics and personal care products such as soaps, shampoos, waxes, lipsticks and liquid detergents. Apart from this, palm oil is also utilized in the production of cooking oil, margarine, vegetable ghee, confectionary fats, ice creams, non-dairy creamers, salad dressings, agrochemicals, ink, charcoal, animal feed, and paper. Its expanding applications in both the food and non-food industries are strengthening the growth of the palm oil industry across the globe. Moreover, governments of various countries are undertaking initiatives to replace fossil fuels with biofuels.

Looking forward, the global market size is expected to be around 108 Million Tons by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of about 6% during the forecast period (2019-2024).
