The North America castor oil market reached a volume of 60,388 Tons in 2019. Castor oil refers to a thick, pale-yellow colored vegetable oil which is extracted from castor beans that are grown in arid/semi-arid regions. As compared to other vegetable oils, castor oil exhibits high hydroxyl value and is available for consumption in both crude and refined hydrogenated forms. Owing to numerous benefits, it is utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, soaps, surface coatings, cosmetics, perfumes and toiletries.

One of the primary factors that are impelling the growth of the market in North America is therapeutic benefits provided by the castor oil. It offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that aid in relieving sore muscles, arthritic joints and nerve inflammations. Apart from this, aging population, rising healthcare expenditures and increasing focus on healthy and active lifestyles are also boosting the sales of castor oil in the region. Further, the demand for castor oil is rising as it plays a pivotal role in the production of biodiesel, which eliminates the usage of petrochemicals in the region. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach a volume of 69,622 Tons by 2025, registering a CAGR of 2.4% during 2020-2025.
