Indonesia and Malaysia account for over 85% of global palm oil supply. Hence, Indonesian and Malaysian palm oil producers are increasingly focusing on diversifying their product portfolios to expand the use of palm oil for use in cosmetics, biodiesels, and oleochemicals. Moreover, these countries are attempting to improve palm oil yields and production efficiency by adopting better land management practices and developing efficient palm oil production technology to meet their growing demand in the global markets.
Palm oil is known for its high yield as compared to other vegetable oils and boasts a high yield per hectare, making it economically attractive. It supplies 40% of the global vegetable oil demand on merely 6% of the land used to produce all vegetable oils. This makes palm oil particularly important for sectors such as food production, cosmetics, biofuels, and pharmaceuticals. In the forecast period, increasing population levels and rising income levels, especially in emerging economies, are expected to drive the palm oil market development in the coming years.
Palm oil is one of the most versatile and affordable oils, used in food processing, cooking, and industrial applications, hence surging its demand in both developed and emerging economies like India. As per SEA, palm oil imports in India increased by 29.21% to 90.80 lakh tonnes in the first eleven months of the 2022-23 oil year. This surge in imports of palm oil is anticipated to boost its demand in industrial applications such as cosmetics, biofuels, and detergents in the forecast period.

There is an increase in the use of palm oil to improve the texture and moisturising properties of perfumes as well as a variety of skincare and beauty products, including body lotions, concealers, mascara, foundation, lipstick, and foundation. Palm oil is also used in the production of detergents, shampoos, and conditioners to enhance their foaming capabilities. Moreover, favourable government initiatives aimed at expanding the production of palm oil are aiding the market. For instance, the National Mission on Edible Oils - Oil Palm (NMEO-OP), launched by the Indian government in 2021, aims to bring 6.5 lakh hectares under oil palm plantations by 2025-26 and reduce reliance on imports.

The palm oil market development is expected to be fuelled by the growing adoption of efficient technologies such as screw pressing for processing palm oil. Such methods ensure higher oil recovery while minimising damage to the oil's molecular structure, hence maintaining its nutritional value. Furthermore, the development of innovative refining methods, including membrane technology and supercritical fluid extraction, that offer superior separation capabilities to produce higher-quality refined palm oil is anticipated to aid the market in the coming years.
Robust growth of the food and beverage sector; surging emphasis on sustainability; increasing demand for biofuels; and growing deployment of advanced technologies are favouring the palm oil market expansion.
Palm oil, extracted from the fruit of oil palm trees, is widely used in food and beverages due to its cost-effectiveness, neutral taste, ease of availability, flexibility in texture, and ability to enhance the shelf stability of products.
Traditionally, palm oil production has resulted in habitat loss and deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, soil and water pollution, and social issues like child labour and poor working conditions. Hence, key players are increasingly adopting sustainable practices such as improved land management and eco-friendly farming techniques to preserve biodiversity, improve transparency in the supply chain, and gain a competitive advantage.
Due to its high efficiency in oil production, high energy content, and chemical chain similar to that of fossil fuels in the C16 and C18 carbon chain, palm oil is one of the most important raw materials used in the production of biofuels and sustainable aviation fuels.
Advancements in oil production technology aimed at developing high-yielding palm oil varieties and improving palm oil extraction processes are driving the palm oil market development. Key players are also increasingly deploying digital technologies like the Internet of things (IoT) and drones to manage palm oil plantations and optimise irrigation application decisions through the analysis of real-time field data.
Palm oil producers are leveraging technologies such as remote sensing via satellite and drone imagery to identify and georeferenced the planted palms, monitor the health of palm trees, and enable precise optimisation of fertiliser usage and other agricultural practices. The growing adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to reduce costs and enhance the efficiency of palm oil production is further boosting the palm oil market value. In December 2024, Malaysia’s Minsawi Industries Kuala Kangsar invested around MYR 4-5 million to install the Artificial Intelligence Robotics Engineering Industries (Airei) technology at its mill in order to reduce its workload and improve its oil extraction efficiency.
With the growing focus on sustainability, there is a rising focus on enhancing the traceability of the palm oil value chain. In November 2023, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) announced that it was developing a new system to trace the origin and environmental credentials of palm oil.
