India Specialty Fats & Oils Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Plant-Based and Sustainable Products

Consumer tastes in India are progressively evolving towards healthier and more ecologically sustainable food alternatives, owing to rising health awareness and environmental concerns. As a result, there is an increased demand for specialized fats and oils, particularly those derived from plants. The growth of vegetarian and vegan diets has increased the demand for plant-based foods. For example, Cargill's launch of the Gemini Plus Trans Fat-Free Vanaspati in Kerala appeals to health-conscious consumers looking for traditional tastes without trans fats. Additionally, Indian consumers are prioritizing sustainable sourcing, with the global market for sustainably sourced palm oil projected to reach 8 million metric tons. As a response, Indian manufacturers are adopting sustainable practices, such as sourcing certified sustainable palm oil and exploring alternatives like sunflower and soybean oils. Supporting this shift, the Indian government approved a USD 1.2 billion program in October 2024 to boost domestic edible oil production, aiming to increase output from 12.7 million metric tons to 25.45 million metric tons by 2030-31. This growing demand for plant-based and sustainable products is among the key factors driving the market growth.

Technological Advancements in Food Processing

Technological advancements in food processing are revolutionizing the market by enabling the production of customized fats and oils with unique functions adapted to the different demands of the food sector. Innovations such as enzymatic interesterification, fractionation, and hydrogenation have enabled the production of specialized fats and oils with enhanced stability, texture, and nutritional profiles. These improvements cater to the evolving demands of the food industry for healthier and more functional ingredients. A pertinent example is the introduction of enzymatic interesterification, which allows for the modification of fat molecules to produce trans-fat-free alternatives with desirable melting points and textures. This technology has been instrumental in developing specialty fats used in confectionery and bakery products, meeting consumer preferences for healthier options without compromising on quality. Furthermore, the adoption of advanced extraction and refining techniques has facilitated the production of high-quality specialty oils, such as palm and coconut oils, which are extensively utilized in processed foods. These technological strides not only improve product quality but also expand the application scope of specialty fats and oils, thereby driving market growth in India.
