3. Top Companies in Fats and Oils Industry - ADM (US), Wilmar International Ltd (Singapore) and Bunge (US)

The fats and oils market is estimated to be valued at USD 271.8 Billion in 2024 and poised to achieve a 3.6% CAGR, reaching USD 323.7 Billion by 2029, and is experiencing transformative shifts and innovations. The demand for fats and oils extends beyond culinary applications, permeating various sectors such as animal feed, oleochemicals, and biofuels. In the food industry, vegetable oils and animal fats are crucial for processed foods, enhancing texture, flavor, and shelf life. Palm, rapeseed, sunflower, and soybean oils dominate global consumption, driven by their multifunctional roles across food and non-food products. However, animal fats such as butter and lard are essential in baking for their rich flavor profiles.

Additionally, specialty oils such as coconut, shea butter, and cocoa butter are increasingly used to replace conventional oils due to their similar properties. The choice of cooking oils varies regionally and is influenced by cultural preferences, availability, and emerging dietary trends. For instance, rapeseed, sunflower, and olive oils are favored in Europe, while palm oil is predominant in Asia and Africa. The growing interest in plant-based diets has also spiked demand for oils such as coconut globally.
