Due to its unique chemical composition, palm oil has longer shelf-life, low price and offers a numbers of nutritional benefits. It is cholesterol-free, easy to digest, and rich in carotenoids as well as Vitamin A. Thus, palm oil has the ability to enhance energy levels, prevent premature ageing, improve eye vision, boost immune system, and reduce the risk of cancer and heart diseases.
Global Palm Oil Market Drivers:
Expanding applications of palm oil in both edible and non-edible sectors remain the major growth-inducing factor for the market. On account of various health benefits provided by palm oil, it is considered suitable for a number of applications in the food industry. It contains 20-22% solid fats due to which palm oil is utilised in shortening, margarines and other fat products. It can also be combined with harder fat fractions in order to give them the required consistency without resorting to hydrogenation. Some of the other common palm oil products include cooking and frying oils, vegetable ghee, and non-dairy creamers. Rising awareness about these health benefits among the consumers is boosting the demand for palm oil worldwide. Further, palm oil is readily replacing petroleum-based products as an effective alternative for fossil fuels in transportation and energy industries. Apart from this, it is also employed as a substitute to mineral oil in power stations for energy production. Moreover, initiatives undertaken by several governments across the world to curb trans-fat consumption is envisaged to boost the market growth.
