Highlights of the global palm oil market:
- India represents the largest consumer of palm oil.
- The palm oil market is influenced by its long shelf life.
- Food sector is the largest end-use sector of palm oil.
Palm oil finds a large number of applications, particularly in the food industry where it is used as a cooking oil and shortening. It is also used as an important ingredient in the manufacturing of margarine, ice-creams and non-dairy creamers. Apart from this, palm oil serves as a substitute to products containing animal fats, which are not acceptable on religious grounds in many communities. The second largest end-use industry of palm oil is the consumer goods industry. This industry utilises palm oil in the manufacturing of soaps, detergents, lubricants, greases, candles, etc. Furthermore, the applications of palm oil are also increasing as the governments of many regions are proposing to capitalize on palm oil’s ability to be used as the feedstock for the production of biodiesel and as an alternative to mineral oils for use in power stations.

The market for palm oil is being driven primarily by its resistance to oxidation which promotes long shelf life. Along with this, its expanding uses are also contributing in the growth of the palm oil industry. This expansion is highly influenced by the health benefits offered by palm oil such as its ability to improve vision and energy levels, boost the immune system, prevent premature ageing and cancer, etc. Unlike other vegetable oils such as coconut oil which are equally high in saturated fats, a controlled consumption of palm oil can prevent several heart diseases which are caused by increased amounts of the LDL and reduction in HDL levels.
