Research and Markets: Global Palm Oil Industry, Opportunities and Challenges - China, India and Indonesia Consume More than 80% of Palm Oil
Wednesday May 13, 03:00 AM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3b3e67/global_palm_oil_in)
has announced the addition of the "Global
Palm Oil Industry: Opportunities and Challenges" report to their
offering.
The vegetable oil industry has witnessed significant growth over the
past few years on account of a growing population as well as the rising
demand for alternative energy sources. Among the various types of
vegetable oil, palm oil (including palm kernel) accounted for the
largest share of the global production in 2007, followed by soybean and
rapeseed oil. Of the available vegetable oils, palm oil is the most
productive and has the lowest cost of production, thus accounting for
the major share of the global vegetable oil output. In recent years, the
rising health concerns have also accelerated the demand for palm oil,
particularly in the developed markets.
Palm oil use is broadly separated into food and non-food categories. The
product is mainly used as cooking oil but is also increasingly being
used in the preparation of other food articles. As a non-food
ingredient, the product finds application in the production of
cosmetics, toiletries, soaps and detergents. Although, FMCG is the
largest market, the utilization of palm oil for the production of
biodiesel has been growing steadily. Apart form this, the switch of
consumers from loose oil to packed oil, particularly in emerging
markets, is also expected to boost the palm oil industry's growth in the
future.
Geographically, Indonesia and Malaysia are the largest producers of palm
oil, while China and the EU are the largest consumers. In Europe,
Germany is the largest producer of palm oil, followed by France and
Italy. The emerging markets, like China, India and Indonesia consume
more than 80% of palm oil. Due to rising population and increasing
income, the emerging markets including China and India are anticipated
to record an increase in demand for palm oil.
On the whole, the report analyzes the growth drivers and challenges of
the palm oil industry and assesses opportunities available for the
players. The report focuses on the production capacity, government
initiatives, challenges and future potential of the three large
producers of palm oil - Indonesia, Malaysia and Colombia. Further, the
report analyzes the top palm oil companies - PT Astra Agro Lestari, IOI
Corporation and Wilmar International.
By combining SPSS Inc.'s data integration and analysis capabilities with
our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the
industry. We employed various significant variables that have an impact
on this industry and created regression models with SPSS Base to
determine the future direction of the industry. Before deploying the
regression model, the relationship between several independent or
predictor variables and the dependent variable was analyzed using
standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.
