3. Report Description and Highlights
Demand of Soybean Oil to Grow at a CAGR of Around 4% during the Next Five Years
Being high in omega-3 fatty acids, polyunsaturated fats and low in saturated fats; soybean oil is considered as one of
the healthiest cooking oils and currently represents the second largest edible oil consumed in the world.
Soybean oil is a clear yellow vegetable oil with a neutral taste and a high smoke point. It is extracted from soybeans
seeds that consist 18-20% of extractable oil by weight. Solvent extraction currently represents the most common
method for extracting soybean oil and involves cracking, heating and rolling of the seed to extract the oil. Being high in
omega-3 fatty acids, polyunsaturated fats and low in saturated fats; soybean oil is considered as one of the healthiest
cooking oils. It currently represents the second largest (after palm oil) edible oil consumed in the world with the United
States and China representing the largest markets.
Health benefits offered by soybean oil include – lowering of cholesterol levels, improving heart health, increasing
immunity, preventing osteoporosis and reducing cognitive disorders. Around 83% of its global demand currently comes
from the food industry. Within the food industry, most of the demand is for cooking (mostly for frying or baking) and as
a condiment in salads. Apart from its uses in cooking, soybean oil also finds applications in industrial paints, lubricants,
solvents, cleaners, adhesives, oleochemicals, bio-diesel, biocomposites, etc. Due to its high unsaturated fat content, it
undergoes early oxidation upon exposure to air, light or moisture - which makes it suitable for printing inks and oil paint
formulations. Its high lipid content and lubricating characteristics also make it a good choice for specialty fermentation
and drilling applications respectively. Being low in cost, easily available and environment friendly, it is an ideal
component for bio-based products. Looking forward, we expect the demand of soybean oil to grow at a CAGR of
around 4% during the next five years.
