Global palm oil demand was estimated at 74.6 Million Tons in 2019. It is expected to grow by 2.3% volume-based between 2020 and 2027. Market growth will be driven by significant growth in the demand from the end-use sectors and rising consumer awareness about the positive health benefits associated with palm oil.
Asia Pacific countries like Indonesia and Malaysia are the largest producers accounting for over 80% of global production. According to Palm Oil Investigations, palm oil is used in almost half of all consumer products that are sold daily. The demand is driven by rising disposable income and increased per capita spending on consumer products in all geographies.
There are growing concerns about the effects of widespread plantation on the environment. This has led to stricter regulations for plantation in all regions. This will have a negative impact on market growth by reducing the area of plant cultivation and the yield.
The governing bodies launched the Sustainable Palm Oil Production Program (SPOPP), which aims to reduce deforestation and prevent loss of plant diversity. The market has also seen the rise of satellite-based technologies that monitor deforestation. This technology is expected to open up new possibilities for development. The growing focus of manufacturers on sustainable and organic cultivation further accelerates this trend.
The government of the top palm oil plantation countries, i.e. The governments of Indonesia and Malaysia have a focus on organic and sustainable production. Organic products are in high demand due to consumer awareness about the negative effects of chemical agrochemicals on the environment and human bodies. Organically grown crops are free from any chemical or agrochemicals, right at the point of cultivation through to final packaging. The demand for organic product origins is expected to rise at a profitable rate during the forecast period.
Crude palm oil (CPO), which accounted for 58.3% in total revenue share, was a prominent segment within the palm oil market in 2019. It is closely followed by palm kernel oil(PKO) as the second largest. Market growth is expected to be boosted by an increase in oleochemical production of agrochemicals, and cleaning products over the forecast period.
PKO accounted for 23.0% market share in 2019. This segment is expected to grow in popularity due to its positive properties, such as high saturated fat content and medium chain fatty acid (capric, lauric, and caprylic) content. Its exclusive use in animal feed and biomass will boost product sales over the forecast period.
RBD, fractionated palm oil (Olein & Stearin), and other segments also had significant market share in 2019. The main contributors to the growth are edible oil and meals that are made from them. The growing demand for cooking oils is also being driven by the increasing consumption across all geographies.
In 2019, the biofuel and energy end use segment represented 15.1% of revenue and is expected to see a substantial growth over the forecast period. This is expected to be due to the growing demand for biofuels in all geographies. The biodiesel has been a popular choice for consumers in recent years as a viable alternative to diesel. Palm oil is the most popular feedstock and is considered an economically viable alternative to soybean. Many policies and mandates have been implemented in different countries since 2020. They are expected to alter the market's end-user trends in the long term. In Indonesia, for instance, the 1 stof January 2020 saw an increase in crude palm oil and diesel mix to 30% (B30). This mandate will likely increase the country's palm oil consumption. France also eliminated the biofuel tax, which would have pushed its economy toward biofuels and biodiesel.
Another important end-user is the food and beverage industry, where palm oil has major applications as an edible oil. Palm oil is an economically viable alternative to cooking oils like those derived from soybean or sunflower. It has high acceptance by food processors, which will help to drive segment growth.
Five regions are included in the market: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Central and South America and Middle East and Africa are also included. As countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia are the main producers, Asia Pacific is the dominant region in terms of production. Imports from Asia Pacific countries are crucial for other regions, such as Europe and North America.
Product demand in Europe and North America is expected to rise due to the increasing penetration of biodiesel by the governments. These regions are expected to see a greater demand for organic palm oils from the food, beverage, personal care and cosmetics end-use segments.
Asia Pacific will see significant demand for the product in the industrial end-use market. Palm oil is used in surfactants, lubricants and other applications. This is mainly due to the importance of China's industrial product manufacturing industries.
Wilmar, Sime Darby, IOI Corporation, Kuala Lumpur Kepong and United Plantations Berhad are some of the market leaders. As the market is well-consolidated, the largest players have a large share of the revenue. Many companies own their land and can harvest oil kernels on it. This allows them to be backward-integrated. However, few companies outsource this product.
To grow palm groves and provide support for farmers, manufacturers have formed a partnership. By investing in R&D, manufacturers are working hard to create a product portfolio that is innovative.
Many companies in this sector invest in research to increase their palm oil product portfolio. They also aim to provide a wider end-use application base and better withstand in the marketplace. Industry members around the world will be able to benefit from technological inventiveness and large foreign funds.
