Palm kernel oil is an edible plant oil derived from the seeds of the oil palm Elaeis guineensis. It is a white to yellowish saturated vegetable fat that is semi-solid at room temperature. It is rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, E, and K, which are essential for maintaining good health. Palm kernel oil is widely used in cooking, cosmetic products, lubricants, and detergents. It consists of unsaturated fats, tocotrienols, and anti-oxidants, which exhibit anti-aging properties. As compared to palm oil, palm kernel oil has a higher saturated content and is used in the processing of soap, cream, lotion, and milk. It also assists in promoting heart, bone, and eye health, preventing aging, softening skin, and wound healing.
Palm Kernel Oil Market Trends:
The increasing demand for personal care products across the globe is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Palm kernel oil is widely used in soaps, cosmetics, creams, and lipstick due to its moisturizing and texturizing properties. In line with this, the widespread product adoption owing to its multiple benefits, such as skin hydration, foaming, softening, and texturizing actions in finished products, is favoring the market growth. Moreover, the increasing consumer inclination toward naturally formulated personal care and beauty products is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, manufacturers are focusing on sustainable palm kernel oil production that helps to reduce deforestation, and protect wildlife habitats, due to the rising environmental consciousness among the masses, which is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the widespread product utilization for high-heat commercial cooking methods, such as frying, is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the introduction of improved extraction methods, including direct screw-pressing, partial pre-treatment, and complete pre-treatment, that has led to more efficient and cost-effective methods of producing palm kernel oil is creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the increasing product demand for the production of biofuel that is used as a sustainable alternative to crude oil in engine oil due to its affordability and environmental friendliness is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of consumers, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, and the implementation of various government initiatives for the development of biofuels and the use of sustainable sources of energy, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
