Global Oilseed Market Size
The global oilseed market size was valued at USD 338.87 million in 2025 and is anticipated to reach USD 356.49 million in 2026 to reach USD 534.78 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period from 2026 to 2034.
The seeds of a plant, when used as a source of vegetable oil, are called oilseeds. Though oil can be extracted from many parts of the plant, seeds are primarily used for commercial purposes. Oil is extracted from seeds by a machine known as an oilseed press. Over the course of time, several oilseed presses have been designed to improve efficiency and make the process cost-effective.
Vegetable oils are generally used as ingredients in food to improve the texture and to impart certain flavors. Some of the oils with high flash points such as sunflower oil and soybean oil are used as cooking oils. Apart from its applications in cooking, vegetable oils are used in making soaps, perfumes and cosmetic products. They are also used as biofuels and in the manufacture of some pet foods.
MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS
An increase in the consumption of vegetable oils for cooking purposes and the growing food industry are the major factors driving the oilseed market. Reduction in prices due to the new processing equipment and development of an effective extraction process, as well as the high penetration of retail and wholesale distribution channels in rural and urban areas, are propelling the oilseed market. Stringent government regulations on manufacturing and exports and loopholes in distribution channels are restraining the growth of the market.
