Palm Oil Market will Reflect Significant Growth Prospects during 2012-18 : Transparency Market Research

Low to zero trans-fat content and the pocket-friendly pricing of palm oil is fuelling demand from the global palm oil market. Palm oil is one of the most widely used vegetable oils and a common ingredient in biscuits, margarine, breads, instant noodles, cereals, lipsticks, candles, chocolates, shampoos, ice-cream, and detergents. The applications of palm oil are therefore quite diverse, which aids the expansion of the global palm oil market.

Palm oil is derived from a tropical tree, which, once planted, yields palm fruits for more than three decades, ascertaining much needed employment for the rural communities living in emerging nations such as Malaysia and Indonesia. The oil is highly lucrative, particularly because palm trees yield more oil per hectare than any other major oil seed crop.

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the global palm oil market, with focus on the factors driving the market and those restraining it. It covers the market from the ground up covering aspects such as the market definition, classification, and growth trajectory. Regionally, the global palm oil market is segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World.

Overview of Global Palm Oil Market

Palm oil derived from palm fruit is an edible vegetable oil. In the last couple of years, the demand for palm oil has increased in response to the rising consumption of vegetable oils. Apart from its extensive applications in the food and beverage industry and the retail industry, palm oil is also used in biofuels.

Palm oil is cost-effective and low in trans-fats, due to which its demand is high in the global market. However, the expansion of palm tree plantations is usually carried out at the expense of tropical forests, particularly in countries such as Malaysia. Rising environmental concerns thus pose a tough challenge in front of enterprises operating in the global palm oil market.

Large-scale deforestation for palm oil production has not only aggravated the already worrying issue of climate, but has also led to the extinction of many animal species. However, the market is expected to capitalize in the near future on opportunities created by sustainable palm oil production.


To present a 360-degree blueprint of the market, the report studies demand for diverse palm oils available in the market such as red palm oil, kernel oil, while palm oil, fractionated palm oil, and others. Factors leading to the rising application of palm oil in industries such as energy, health, food, and others are also evaluated in detail.

For their main grocery shopping, a growing number of households prefer supermarkets and supercenters. This offers a good opportunity for companies to reach new consumers. Foodservice companies operating in supermarkets offer low-cost options to consumers to replace their home-cooked meals.

Besides this strategy, companies in the global foodservice market are employing other strategies such as introducing bar and restaurant concepts in pool, snooker, and air hockey clubs to attract more consumers by providing entertainment.

The research study on the global foodservice market delivers an extensive analysis of the key market segment.

According to the USDA, the food system, which includes foodservice and food retailing, supplied approximately US$1.24 tn worth of food in the U.S. in 2010, out of which approximately US$594 bn was supplied by foodservice facilities. The global foodservice market caters to schools, restaurants, colleges, cafeterias, and others. The growing consumption of snacks and meals at food service establishments shows a growing demand among consumers for different types of foods, having an entertainment value to eating out, and the convenience offered by these services. Furthermore, keeping with the health trend, the global foodservice market is now also offering more healthy choices for conscious consumers.

Currently, there are four types of foodservice systems – conventional, centralized, assembly service, and ready prepared.

Public health service departments in the food sector ensure the quality of the food is in compliance with the recommended standards. A high cost is incurred to maintain the consistency and hygiene of food quality, along with the requirements such as the large labor force and food safety. These factors will challenge the global foodservice market to an extent.

Region-wise, the global foodservice market is divided into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Presently, North America boasts of the largest number of restaurants and food chains due to the rising demand for fast food.

The global market for nutraceuticals has exhibited a steady rise in recent years, thanks to the increasing demand for nutritional food in the global arena. The rise in the cost associated with medical treatment and healthcare has driven the interest of consumers towards nutraceuticals, owing to their ability to act as a substitute of OTC as well as prescription drugs.

A recent report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), a market research and intelligence firm, states that the worldwide nutraceuticals market reached a value of US$182.6 bn in 2015.

The U.S. and Canada are the key domestic markets for nutraceuticals in North America, whereas the Mexico market is still in its nascent stage. However, analysts project the Mexico nutraceuticals market to gain impetus and become the fastest growing market in the region in the coming years. The increasing purchasing power of Mexicans is expected to become the key catalyst for this growth.

Major Manufacturers Targeting Japan, China, Brazil, and Australia

The nutraceuticals market in Asia Pacific follows the North America nutraceuticals market closely. The upgradation in the living standard of this region’s population has led to the rise of the Asia Pacific nutraceuticals market.

Japan, China, Brazil, and Australia have emerged as the key target markets for major international producers of nutraceuticals, resulting in the emergence of these markets as the most lucrative ones in this region as well as across the world.

Proactive Lifestyle to Drive Demand for Nutraceuticals in Middle East and Africa

The Middle East and Africa nutraceuticals market has also been showing impressive growth of late. GCC countries dominate this market and are likely to rise at the fastest rate in the forecast period. The increase in the geriatric population has propelled the demand for nutraceuticals in this region.
