What are the Key Trends in the Market for Edible Oils?

“Changing Dietary Habits and Living Standards”

Life has become hectic and fast paced. This is the leading cause of health-related issues in the population. The increasing awareness about health and food leads to consumers preferring a healthy home-cooked diet in their daily lives. This drives a demand for more products in the edible oil market. Edible oils are prepared from various natural sources and have vitamins and minerals that are essential for maintaining proper metabolic functioning of the body.

“Rising Awareness of Benefits of Edible Oil”

CVDs (Cardiovascular diseases) are one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity globally. These diseases occur due to multiple gene interactions as well as environmental factors such as dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles. The quality of edible oils is widely considered to be intricately related to the pathogenesis of CVDs. Edible oil is among the vital dietary components in regular food intake. However, the benefits of edible oils can be deteriorated by continuous heating that causes lipid oxidation. The repeated usage of frequently heated edible oil is not unusual as it decreases the cost of food preparation. However, its negative impact is captured in the resultant products due to oxidation of lipids during the heating process. A prolonged intake of repetitively heated oil has been revealed to increase total cholesterol, blood pressure, and also lead to vascular inflammation.

“Growing Inclination towards Non-GMO Products”

Health has been a major driving force in the consumption of food and beverages only after taste and price due to the alarming rise in health problems. This has resulted in consumers taking preventive measures by being selective of the products that they consume. This is mainly seen in consumers who are aware of the various claims and certifications that are present for such products. Non-GMO is one such trend that has become very popular in many countries across the globe. North America, Europe, South Asia, and Oceania are regions where consumers are looking for labels that have the non-GMO claim on their products. The modification of products has been known for being risky for the well-being of humans, which has resulted in the increased demand for non-GMO products.

“Emergence of Non-food Uses of Edible Oil”

The demand for edible oils is also currently increasing for non-food uses such as for the production of cosmetics, personal care, and bio-diesel among other products. This trend is opening up new opportunities for manufacturers in the edible oil market. Coconut and avocado oils are widely used in skincare, hair care, and body care as they provide several benefits.

• For instance, hair care, skincare, cosmetics, and other personal care products that are offered by companies such as Marico, Emami, and others mostly use edible oils such as coconut, avocado oil in their products.

“Innovative Products Offering Nutritive Benefits”

Product innovation is a key strategy for manufacturers operating in the edible oil market to sustain their position in the industry. Companies operating in this field resort to extensive research and development activities to present new offerings to their consumers. Companies have opportunities in terms of adding innovative benefits to the products in terms of health and nutrition.

• In May 2016, Adani Wilmar launched diabetics care oil under its Fortune brand. The Adani Wilmar is the first Indian company that has launched this type of edible oil, and is thus effectively targeting the health-conscious population.

“Change in Consumer Preferences in Selection of Edible Oil”

With constantly changing edible oil preferences among customers, market players face challenges to choose the most effective strategies to entice consumers. The manufacturers thus have to cope-up with the changing consumer preferences and eating habits and thus have to modify their product offerings accordingly to keep up with the changing demands of the consumers. Strong branding and promotional activities coupled with the updating company’s inventory with new products requires a lot of financial backing. Hence, continuous change in consumer preferences might pose a challenge to the company due to greater financial inputs required.
