France Used Cooking Oil Market Trends:

Rising biodiesel production

Increasing biodiesel production is positively influencing the market in France. According to a report by the European Biodiesel Board (EBB), in 2024, France accounted for 10% of the EU-27's total production of all biodiesel types, including FAME, HVO, and HEFA. Germany and France continued to be the top users of biodiesel. Biodiesel producers prefer used cooking oil over virgin vegetable oils because it reduces raw material costs and provides considerable ecological advantages by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and decreasing waste. France’s strong commitment to renewable energy targets, in line with EU directives, has accelerated biodiesel blending mandates in transportation fuels, driving a steady demand for used cooking oil. By converting waste oil into fuel, biodiesel production supports the circular economy, reducing reliance on food-grade crops for energy and helping mitigate environmental pollution from improper oil disposal. The country’s well-established biodiesel industry, combined with an expanding collection infrastructure from households, ensures a consistent used cooking oil supply for processing. Moreover, technological advancements in refining processes have improved the efficiency and quality of biodiesel derived from used cooking oil, making it competitive with conventional fuels. Government incentives and policy support are further strengthening the France used cooking oil market growth.

Growing applications in foodservice industry

Increasing applications of used cooking oil in the foodservice industry are offering a favorable market outlook. With the growth of the hospitality sector and rising user preferences for fried and prepared food items, the volume of cooking oil, which is used and subsequently discarded, is increasing significantly. This surge is creating a steady and reliable supply of used cooking oil for collection and recycling. French regulations require proper disposal and recycling of used cooking oil to prevent environmental damage, encouraging foodservice establishments to partner with certified collectors. The collected used cooking oil is then processed into biodiesel, soaps, animal feed additives, and other industrial products, supporting the circular economy. Additionally, rising environmental awareness and compliance mandates are motivating foodservice operators to adopt structured used cooking oil management systems, turning waste into a valuable resource. With the foodservice industry continuing to thrive in the country, especially in urban centers and tourist regions, the consistent generation of used cooking oil ensures a dependable feedstock for recycling applications, thereby strengthening the market growth in France. As per the IMARC Group, the France foodservice market is set to attain USD 125.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.60% during 2025-2033.
