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.
