Organic oilseeds are nutritious and may appeal to consumers with health problems related to digestion, cholesterol, and blood pressure. The expansion of modern and retail oilseed processing technologies has boosted the availability of the product on the world market. The pharmaceutical industry uses oilseeds for dermatological products. Currently, many countries grow oilseeds for commercial purposes. For example, safflower belongs to the sunflower family originally grown in Egypt and from the Middle East to Central Europe but is now grown in the United States, Latin America, and Australia. The market is mainly driven by factors such as the strong expansion of the livestock sector and the increase in the consumption of edible oil. Latin America is predicted to be the fastest-growing region due to the escalated adoption of biodiesel in countries such as Brazil and Argentina. The main oilseed produced is soybeans, followed by rapeseed, sunflower, palm, peanut, cotton and others.

In 2020, the market is growing at a steady rate and with the increasing adoption of new strategies by major players, the market is forecasted to rise over the projected horizon. Oilseeds are considered one of the fastest-growing crops in the world agricultural market due to their wide applicability in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic industry and animal feeding. Oilseeds were grown primarily for the extraction of edible oils, but now oilseeds have gained more attention due to their industrial use. The oil extracted from the oilseeds is employed in food products for human consumption, while the oil residues are employed for animal feed.

MARKET DRIVERS

The global oilseed processing market has diversified in recent years due to the increase in the number of health-conscious consumers who prefer to consume food products that contain less trans-fat, which is also predicted to drive market growth. In the coming years Households and food industry are the main contributors to this business growth. Peanuts and soybeans are employed directly as food products without extracting oil from them.

Hazelnuts and poppy seeds are also very rich in oil, but they are also consumed directly, as they are necessary in the daily cooking of food products. The global oilseed market is predicted to experience significant growth, mainly due to the increasing call for vegetable oil from the biodiesel industry.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The main limiting factor for this market is the instability of prices due to the seasonal nature of various crops, which is also supposed to be the main factor hampering the expansion of the global oilseed processing market. Furthermore, the limited availability of oilseeds is predicted to hold back the expansion of the global market during the outlook period.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

By Application Insights

The food segment holds a significant portion of the worldwide market. Also, the animal feed industry productively uses the by-products associated with oilseed refining into higher value raw materials. By doing so, it adds value to the segment of the value chain, which produces the "by-product." In some cases, the additional economic value that the use of the by-product brings may be a determining factor in the economic viability of the value chain segment. Through the use of these materials, the animal production industry benefits humanity in at least two additional ways. The most obvious is the relatively inexpensive production of quality animal protein and other products for human consumption.
