Palm Oil in Global Markets: Versatile, Valuable, and Widely Traded

Palm oil is one of the most widely consumed vegetable oils. Sourced from the fruit of the palm tree, this oil is used in a number of edible and personal care products. In fact, its unique composition is responsible for its versatile applications (food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels). Today we all are aware of its significance in the global trade market. But do you know that it was one of the most sought-after commodities during Britain's Industrial Revolution? It is because of their extensive use as an industrial lubricant for machinery. As global consumption keeps growing, palm oil buyers actively seek reliable suppliers who can provide bulk quantities at the best rate. 



The Ever-Growing Global Demand for Palm Oil in International Trade

There are very few commodities that hold as much influence over the global economy as palm oil. This versatile oil has a critical role across multiple industries. Manufacturers prefer this edible oil because it produces a higher oil yield per hectare than other oil-producing crops, such as soybeans or sunflowers. In the year 2022-23, the palm oil market alone accounted for around 35.7% of the world's vegetable oil production. And it grew further as the demand for this commodity increased in nations like China and India. 


The increasing demand for palm oil is driven by various factors. More than half of the packaged products that we see in supermarkets are made from palm oils. It is an essential ingredient in a range of products, from packaged foods and snacks to cosmetics. Furthermore, it is also a sustainable & renewable alternative to fossil fuels for biofuel production. 


Palm oil is more affordable and economically viable as it offers a higher yield per hectare when compared to other vegetable oils like soybean oil. This commodity also has a major global economic impact as it supports the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. Did you know palm oil is the top agricultural export of Indonesia and Malaysia? It makes up about 10% of Indonesia’s exports and 5% of Malaysia’s, generating lakhs of job opportunities in these regions (Source:  European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS).
