Rockville, Md. The global sunflower oil market is set for steady growth through 2022, according to Fact.MR, carried by rising health-related demand and its everyday role as a cooking oil. Growing prevalence of cardiac disease, asthma and arthritis is lifting use in healthcare, while frying and food preparation keep the kitchen side buoyant.

Europe leads the market, processed oil holds the major revenue share, and foodservice is the leading end use. Modern trade dominates distribution, while online and franchise channels are the quickest growers.

Products, End Use and Channels

Processed sunflower oil posts significant growth and carries the major share of revenue by 2022, favoured for its refinement. By end use, foodservice is the standout segment, while retail grows fastest in Europe. On distribution, modern trade leads and passes US$ 1 Bn by 2022, with online channels and franchise outlets expanding quickest across the market.

Europe stays the largest region, where processed sunflower oil sees strong foodservice and retail demand and modern trade alone exceeds US$ 1 Bn by 2022, supported by growing franchise and online sales.

Health and Convenience Drive Demand

The market runs on two threads: wellness and everyday cooking. Beyond the kitchen, sunflower oil is drawn into sunscreens, facial masks and eye creams, widening its cosmetic use. The main check on growth is competition from other oils, olive oil in particular, which can substitute for sunflower oil in several applications.
