    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2026685 | Category : Food & Beverage | Delivery Format: /

The global sunflower oil market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. Sunflower oil is a flavorless and colorless oil produced from dried or soft sunflower kernels. Due to their high energy content, oilseeds have contributed to the increase in dietary energy intake in developing countries over the past few decades, which in turn has directly increased the trade activities of sunflower oil. According to the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), in 2020, sunflower seed, or safflower crude oil was ranked 329th as the most traded product, with a total trade value of $9.02B. Additionally, the exports of sunflower seed or safflower crude oil grew by 14.5%, from $7.9 billion to $9.0 billion.

However, the continuously increasing conflict between Ukraine and Russia is expected to hamper the global sunflower oil market, as the top exporters of sunflower oil established in Ukraine have stopped their trade activities. Additionally, the buyers have to pay a hefty premium for supplies from Ukrainian sunflower companies. 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Sunflower Oil Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had impacted most of the industries in the market. The spread of the virus led governments across the globe to impose a lockdown that strictly restricted the use of outdoor shopping and shut down transportation services for a while, further halting trade activities. According to the Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA), there has been a 5% decline in edible oil imports in 2020.

Global Sunflower Oil Market Share by Type

The Mid-Oleic Sunflower Oil Segment Anticipated to Hold the Prominent Share in the Global Sunflower Oil Market

The mid-oleic segment is estimated to hold a prominent share in the market during the forecast period owing to the increasing preference from consumers concerned with health and wellness awareness. The most common variety of sunflower oil accessible globally is mid-oleic sunflower oil, which is called the standard version. Since mid-oleic oil contains linoleic and oleic acid, which prevents the formation of rancid and is a good dietary supply. Thus, the use of mid-oleic oil eradicated the requirement of hydrogenation and the associated trans fat. Furthermore, it is widely used in the culinary sector in high-temperature cooking environments. It can also be used as an emollient formula for cosmetics.

Regional Outlooks

The global sunflower oil market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. North America region is expected to grow significantly while Europe is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market during the forecast period. Further, the Asia-Pacific regional market is expected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the growing use of sunflower oil in various end-user industries including food & beverage, cosmetic & personal care, and pharmaceutical in the region. For instance, in April 2021, Sternchemie received a Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) letter of no objection from the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) for its range of sunflower lecithins.
