The specialty oils sub-segment is estimated to account for the highest market share in the by type segment for Specialty Fats & Oils market.

Specialty oils are derived from sources, such as palm, coconuts, soybeans, sunflower, rapeseed, and other sources such as peanut and olive oil. These oils have unique properties that are desirable in industrial and non-edible applications. Palm, coconut, and sunflower oils are growing in their market shares, with the increasing demand for vegetable oils, in the growing bakery and confectionery businesses. The constituent fatty acids of each culinary oil are primarily responsible for the functionality of these oils, along with their minor components. Sunflower oil is used in the cooking of foods such as French fries and frozen pre-fried foods at home, in fast-food restaurants, and in the industry. High growth is observed in developing regions such as Asia and the Middle East, with the increasing trend toward the use of vegetable oils for cooking and household use.

In highly developed and rapidly urbanizing nations, there is a rising focus on the emerging trend of feeding infants with infant formulas and infant food lipids, which are primarily mimicked based on the composition of mother’s milk. Because there were a lot of variations in mother’s milk from different regions of the world due to varied diets, the development of one such compound with optimal levels of nutrition was essential. Here, specialty fats and oils play a crucial role, as they need to be added to the product, to balance the overall fatty acid composition.
