The edible oil segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

Palm oil, a widely used edible oil, holds significant importance in various industries, particularly in Asia. Approximately 45% of global palm oil production is attributed to palm fruit oil, primarily used in food processing due to its lower trans fat content and cost-effectiveness. Palm kernel oil, the other form, accounts for around 25% of the production. The food sector's reliance on palm oil is increasing, with an estimated 67% of its usage in food manufacturing. Moreover, the environmental impact of palm oil production is a growing concern. To address this, initiatives focusing on deforestation monitoring, water use efficiency, extraction rate optimization, and carbon footprint reduction are gaining traction.

The industry is also investing in soil nutrient management, palm oil byproducts utilization, and traceability systems to enhance supply chain transparency. The market's future growth is promising, with an anticipated 20% increase in demand for palm oil byproducts in the next five years. Additionally, there is a rising trend towards sustainable palm oil production, with RSPO certification becoming increasingly common. Oil palm cultivation is also evolving, with the adoption of high-yielding varieties, integrated pest management, and oil palm genetics. In terms of production processes, improvements in palm oil fractionation, fertilizer application techniques, biodiesel production, and irrigation efficiency are essential for maintaining competitiveness.
