Industrial End Users to Continue to Create Growth Opportunities for Cottonseed Oil Producers

By the end use segment, the cottonseed market will witness major contribution from the industrial segment. The industrial segment accounts for more than half the market share of cottonseed oil. The industrial segment is dominated by food processing industries, as cottonseed oil is used in various applications and products, including bakery & confectionery, margarines, icings and whipped toppings, salad dressings, and is more importantly used as a frying and cooking oil.

Among the raw material segments, genetically-modified cotton is being used to increase the yield of cottonseed, and thus, increase the yield of its by-products. However, consumers are shifting towards products that are non-genetically modified, which is anticipated to change the market scenario for cottonseed oil production, increasing the growth of the non-genetically modified cottonseed oil segment.

Prospects for Quality Improvement of Cottonseed Oil

The quality of raw material used in the extraction of cottonseed oil is key in assuring high conversion, and thus, it is necessary to constantly check for the quality of the cotton used. The prominence of cottonseed oil in human nutrition is increasing, and the demand for this valuable commodity is growing day by day. Manufacturers of cottonseed oil are working towards the quality improvement of cottonseed oil by modifying its fatty acid profile through methods involving biotechnology and advanced breeding. Manufacturers are thus working towards increasing the quality and content of cottonseed oil, making the oil healthier, and making the cotton free from unwanted Gossypol content.

Who is Winning?

Players are investing in strengthening their distribution channels to ensure that cottonseed oil is available on shelves and in easy access to consumers. Further, in regions with inflating disposable incomes, players are leveraging the affordability factor to increase their market share, especially in developing countries. Market contenders are focusing on sustainable cottonseed production methods to draw in environmentally conscious consumers.
