Palm oil is a vegetable oil produced from the fruit of oil palm trees.It is an odorless and colorless oil that is resistant to oxidation and stable at high temperatures, which provides fried products a crispy and crunchy texture. In addition, palm oil is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamin E, and carotene. Palm oil is used widely as cooking oil, especially in Asian and African countries. Nowadays, palm oil is widely used in India as it offers a greater yield at a lower cost of production than other vegetable oils.

The increasing awareness among individuals regarding the health benefits offered by palm oil represents the primary factor bolstering the market growth. Palm oil helps prevent premature aging, boost the immune system, improve vision, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and enhance energy levels. Besides this, palm oil finds various applications in food products, detergents, and cosmetics due to which its sales are increasing across the country. Furthermore, with the rising environmental concerns, there has been an increased demand for biodiesel, which involves palm oil during production, thereby providing a positive impact on the market. Moreover, several manufacturers are introducing fortified vegetable oils, such as palm oil, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids to mitigate vitamin A deficiency, which in turn is attracting a wider consumer base. On account of these factors, the market is projected to exhibit strong growth during 2021-2026.
