Indonesia Used Cooking Oil Market

Indonesia Used Cooking Oil Market Overview:

The Indonesia used cooking oil market size reached USD 84.00 Million in 2024. The market is projected to reach USD 139.99 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.24% during 2025-2033. The high volume of waste oil generated from excessive utilization of palm oil presents a significant opportunity for collection, recycling, and conversion into valuable products, such as biodiesel. Besides this, the growing need to reduce carbon emissions in aviation is contributing to the expansion of the Indonesia used cooking oil market share.

Indonesia Used Cooking Oil Market Trends:

Rising applications in aircraft industry

With the growing need to reduce carbon emissions in aviation, the demand for alternative fuels that meet sustainability and performance standards is rising rapidly in Indonesia. Used cooking oil is emerging as a key feedstock for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) due to its lower lifecycle emissions and compatibility with existing jet engines. In Indonesia, this trend is encouraging the development of refining technologies and partnerships between energy companies and aviation stakeholders to scale up the production of SAF using used cooking oil. Companies are investing in advanced bio-refineries to convert used cooking oil into certified SAFs for commercial flights. In July 2025, Pertamina produced bioavtur from used cooking oil at its Cilacap refinery in Indonesia. The state-owned energy company targeted a test flight in mid-August as it started manufacturing its new SAF derived from used cooking oil, utilizing a bioavtur synthesis method for which it created the ‘Red and White catalyst.’ The expansion of SAF production is not only enhancing Indonesia’s position in the global green energy market but also driving consistent demand for used cooking oil, encouraging better waste management practices and supporting the country’s transition to a low-carbon circular economy.

Increasing palm oil utilization

Large-scale palm oil usage is impelling the Indonesia used cooking oil market growth. As one of the world’s major producers and consumers of palm oil, Indonesia relies heavily on this oil for household cooking, food processing, and commercial foodservice operations. As per the USDA, in Indonesia, palm oil output is expected to increase by 3% to 47 Million Tons during the 2025-26 season. The widespread and routine utilization of palm oil across homes, restaurants, street vendors, and industrial kitchens results in the consistent production of large quantities of used cooking oil. This high volume of waste oil presents a significant opportunity for collection, recycling, and conversion into valuable products, such as biodiesel. The affordability and accessibility of palm oil make it the preferred choice among industries and individuals, thereby ensuring a continuous flow of used cooking oil into the market. In response, collection networks, recyclers, and biodiesel producers are targeting palm oil-rich waste streams to secure raw material. Additionally, the environmental and health concerns associated with the repeated or improper use of cooking oil have led to better disposal practices and encouraged regulatory support for collection systems. As palm oil employment remains high and continues to grow alongside population and urbanization trends, it is fueling the expansion of the market in Indonesia by sustaining a steady and reliable supply base.
