Soybean oil and palm oil are widely used as edible cooking oils globally due to their high smoke points and neutral tastes. Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans through mechanical extraction and hydraulic pressing. It is a versatile oil used for salad dressings, mayonnaise, baked goods and deep frying due to its high resistance to oxidation. Palm oil extracted from the fruit of the oil palm trees is another commonly used edible oil. It contains a unique mix of saturated and unsaturated fats and vitamins. Palm oil consumption has grown swiftly in recent years due to economical production costs.

The global Soybean Oil and Palm Oil Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 109724.12 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
