The edible oil packaging industry is experiencing steady growth, driven by the increasing demand for cooking oils across global markets. Packaging innovations are focusing on convenience, product freshness, and sustainability. Key trends include the adoption of eco-friendly materials, such as recyclable PET bottles, glass containers, and biodegradable packaging, in response to rising environmental concerns.

Additionally, the use of tamper-evident features, re-sealable packaging, and user-friendly designs to ensure safe handling and ease of use is growing. The rise in health-conscious consumers is also influencing the packaging of oils like olive, sunflower, and avocado oils. Emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and Africa are contributing to the industry’s expansion, while North America and Europe maintain strong market shares, particularly for premium and organic oils.

The global edible oil packaging market is poised for remarkable growth, with its market size projected to increase from USD 5.35 billion in 2023 to an impressive USD 9.34 billion by 2033. According to recent forecasts, the industry is expected to experience a CAGR of 5.7% over the next decade, driven by key consumer trends and technological advancements.

An expanding population coupled with increased disposable incomes has led to a surge in demand for packaged food products, thereby boosting the requirement for efficient edible oil packaging. Concurrently, heightened health consciousness among consumers has elevated the popularity of healthier cooking oils like olive oil and canola oil. Moreover, the versatile use of edible oil across diverse industries, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, further accelerates market expansion.

Amidst growing environmental concerns, industry players are investing substantially in research and development to provide sustainable and eco-friendly packaging alternatives. This shift towards materials like PET and HDPE, which are 100% recyclable and environmentally safe, not only addresses consumer preferences but also opens up new avenues for market growth. As sustainability becomes a pivotal focus, the Edible Oil Packaging Market stands poised for a promising trajectory ahead.

The following factors are driving up demand for edible oil packaging:

  •          Demand for packaged food products is boosted by increased disposable incomes and population growth.
  •          Growing consumer health consciousness is driving up demand for better cooking oils like canola and olive oil.
  •          Edible oil is being used more and more in a variety of sectors, including the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.

The government authorities are into a reduction of tariffs on import and export of oils by categorizing them as ‘essential consumable items’. On these grounds, the Indian government has sent a safety passage to exports of edible oils but for mustard oil, that too, without any quantitative ceiling.

Owing to environmental concerns, the key participants are going for ecological alternatives to toxic pollutant raw materials. As such, extensive investment is being done with regard to biodegradable substitutes. This would help in safeguarding the ecosystem. Adopting sustainable raw materials does make way for lucrative opportunities for the OEMs, thereby helping them in expanding the consumer base.

The idea of bulk packaging solutions is being floated, so as to reduce overheads. The big-sized packaging solutions inclusive of cans, drums, and jerry cans, which are capable of carrying over 5 liters of edible oil, are basically made from plastic and steel.

At the same time, the fact that there is a non-uniformity with respect to regulations being laid down by the governments all over regarding compliance with food safety norms could restrain the edible oil packaging market in the forecast period. The low-income regions are more into facing the brunt as the governments need to work upon these rules on the war footing. Future Market Insights has walked through these facts with future perspectives in its latest market study entitled ‘Edible Oil Packaging Market’. The analysts and consultants are there to execute it through primary, secondary, and tertiary research.
