Market Overview:

The global olive oil market size reached US$ 13.84 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 18.28 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.60% during 2023-2028. The growing health consciousness among consumers, escalating product demand from the pharmaceuticals and aromatherapy sectors, and increasing applications of organic olive oil represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Olive oil is an edible oil derived from the fleshy part of the ripened fruit of the olive tree, Olea europaea. It usually appears as a clear yellow to golden liquid with a light-tasting, neutral flavor. It contains vitamins D and K, antioxidants like polyphenols, and monounsaturated fatty acids that are believed to help lower cholesterol levels and have anti-inflammatory effects. It is commonly available in the market in different variants, including extra virgin, virgin, pure, and refined. Pure olive oil is widely used for culinary purposes and preserving food products, especially canned fish. It is also employed for wool combing in the textile industry and medicinal purposes in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, olive oil is utilized as a lubricant and in manufacturing toilet preparations, cosmetics, and high-quality castile soap.

Olive Oil Market Trends:

Regular consumption of olive oil is associated with numerous health benefits, such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus, regulating blood pressure levels, preventing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, and promoting the production of peptides that support healthy digestion and facilitate nutrient absorption. Consequently, the rising health consciousness among the masses due to the surging incidences of chronic diseases represents the primary factor driving the market growth. Additionally, there is a rise in the use of olive oil in cooking, as a salad dressing and dip for bread, and for drizzling on pasta. In line with this, the increasing adoption of olive oil in manufacturing dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals has augmented product demand. Besides this, since organic olive oil acts as a natural moisturizer, it is gaining immense popularity as an ideal alternative to abrasive, chemical-laden cleansers and lotions. As a result, the growing usage of olive oil in formulating cosmetics and skin care products owing to the presence of polyphenols that help enhance skin appearance and texture has accelerated product adoption rates. Furthermore, there has been a surge in demand for therapeutic essential oils, such as organic extra virgin olive oil, in aromatherapy. Along with this, the rising awareness about the medicinal properties of extra virgin olive oil, such as improving circulation and lymphatic drainage and reducing stress, coupled with the expanding working population with stressful lifestyles, has catalyzed market growth. Other factors, including the increasing consumer willingness to try new exotic dishes, shifting inclination toward healthy lifestyles, changing dietary preferences, and easy product availability via online and offline channels, are also propelling the market growth.
