Soybean Oil Market Segment Analysis – by Application:

Based on application, the Soybean Oil market is further segmented into Food (Cooking & Frying, Salad Dressing, Margarine and Others), Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics, Personal Care Products, Biodiesel, Paints & Coating and Others. The Food segment held the largest revenue share of the soybean oil market in 2022, as soybean oil is used in many food applications like cooking, frying, salad dressings and margarine. According to research on Deep Frying, the saturated fat content of soybean oil is 16g per 100g, the monounsaturated fat content is 23g and the polyunsaturated fat content is 58g.

However, the Personal Care Products segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period of 2023–2030. This is because vitamin E, a substance that aids in promoting skin health, is found in soybean oil. It helps the skin retain moisture and offers protection against irritation.

Soybean Oil Market Drivers

Healthy Properties of Soybean Oil:

Soybean Oil consumption has been associated with a number of health advantages, including enhanced bone health, lowered blood pressure, lowered cholesterol and a decreased risk of heart disease. The numerous health benefits of soybean oil are the reasons for its rising popularity. Soybean oil is rich in Vitamin K, which may support bone health maintenance and lower the incidence of fractures. Additionally, an animal study discovered that the oil might stop bone deterioration. The majority of the lipids in soybean oil are polyunsaturated fats, which have been associated with lower cholesterol levels and a lower risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids and unsaturated fats both lower the risk of heart disease and strengthen immunity. This oil is therefore thought to be a suitable cooking oil for cardiac patients. According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease diagnoses increased by 26.6% globally in 2022. The deaths attributable to the condition have increased globally by 17% over the past ten years.

Rise in the Demand for Soybean Oil in the Skincare and Haircare Industries:

The soybean seeds are cold-pressed to create Soybean Oil. Soybean oil offers a wide range of advantages. These advantages extend beyond health. Soybean oil also has a significant favorable impact on the condition of both skin and hair. According to the Hair Society Organization, the majority of people in the world experience greater hair loss than they could have ever imagined, starting at age 35 with a 40% loss rate for males and increasing to a 70% loss rate for men at age 80. These people would want professional services to help them regrow their hair. Women who are experiencing hair loss would be in the 80–90% range by the time they turn 60. Linoleic acid, vitamin E, essential fatty acids and lecithin are all found in large quantities in soybean oil. The oil contains vitamin E, a potent lipid-soluble antioxidant that is crucial for protecting the skin's and mucosa's cell membranes from damaging oxygen-free radicals and maintaining their structural integrity. Some of the benefits of soybean oil for the health of skin and hair include preventing premature aging, getting shinier hair, preventing hair loss and avoiding problems with dry scalp.

Soybean Oil Market Challenge

COVID Impact on Soybean Production:

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread lockdown measures have had little effect on soybean production. The consumption of soybean oil, one of the primary by-products of soybean processing, has dropped significantly. The pandemic had affected the food service industry. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the demand for soybean oil for feed and food consumption is still being weakened by COVID-related limitations in China. As a result, soybean imports for marketing years 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 are reduced to 92 million metric tons and 96.5 million metric tons, respectively. The prediction for soybean output for marketing years 2022–2023 is significantly lower at 18.1 million metric tons due to reduced yields brought on by extreme heat and drought in minor soybean-producing regions. The pandemic has had an impact on the demand for soybeans, which is restraining the Soybean Oil market.
