What is Cold Pressed Oil?

Cold pressed oil is extracted from seeds or nuts in its natural form without using heat or chemicals. Its production involves crushing and grinding seeds or nuts, followed by cold pressing using mechanical methods, such as the hydraulic press. It is rich in fatty acids, vitamin E, minerals, and various antioxidants, such as polyphenols and carotenoids. Cold pressed oil is commonly produced from olives, coconuts, rapeseeds, canola, sesame, groundnuts, and flaxseeds. It is widely used in cooking, skincare, haircare, alternative medicine, fuel, lubricants, wood finishing, and nutritional supplements. Cold processed oil is processed at low temperatures, which aids in maintaining nutritional values, reducing acidity, and retaining flavor and aroma. It also offers several health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, improving heart health, and lowering cholesterol levels.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused multiple problems for the cold pressed oil industry of India and imposed unprecedented challenges on the country. With the imposition of the lockdown, the industry suffered from disruption in the supply chain, shortage of raw materials, lack of skilled labor, and logistics issues. Moreover, the restriction on interstate movement severely impacted the supply of oilseeds from several states, thus adversely affecting the production. Apart from this, the implementation of strict regulations by the GoI on social distancing impacted the movement of workers. As a result, several producers suffered heavy losses and could not reach their optimum production capacities. However, with the ease in restrictions, supply and demand are returning to normal levels. Along with this, the rising consumption of home-cooked meals due to extended periods of lockdown facilitated the demand for cold pressed oil. Besides this, the increasing consumer awareness regarding various health benefits of cold pressed oil further boosted its sale during the lockdown period.

India Cold Pressed Oil Market Trends:

The rising product utilization in cooking is one of the key factors providing a thrust to the market growth. Cold pressed oil is widely used in salad dressing, dips, chutneys, pickles, desserts, vegetable sauteing, stir-frying, snacks, and baked goods. In addition to this, the growing awareness among people about the low nutrients and health hazards of refined oils is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the implementation of various initiatives by the Government of India (GoI), such as increasing import duty and providing minimum support price (MSP) to encourage farmers to augment the production of oilseeds, is positively influencing the market growth. Additionally, the introduction of sustainable packaging solutions that are manufactured using biodegradable and recyclable materials is favoring the market growth. Moreover, aggressive marketing and promotional activities by manufacturers through social media and advertisements are providing an impetus to the market growth. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of consumers, the increasing utilization of cold pressed oils in skincare applications, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, easy product availability across e-commerce platforms, and the growing demand for authentic ethnic food, are anticipated to drive market growth.
