Global Cottonseed Processing Market - 2023-2030

Overview

Global Cottonseed Processing Market reached US$ 5.31 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 9.26 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Growing health consciousness among consumers has fueled demand for cottonseed oil as a healthier cooking oil option, attributed to its low saturated fat content. In April 2023, Cargil, declared an investment of US$ 50 million to cater to the rising demand for canola and cottonseed products. The increased awareness has led to a rising preference for cottonseed oil and boosted the cottonseed processing market demand.

Cottonseed is not just a source of oil it also yields other valuable by-products like cottonseed meal and hulls. These by-products are used in the animal feed industry, and there has been a growing interest in finding new applications for them, such as in the production of biofuels and other industrial products.

The textile industry has a significant share in the cotton seed processing market driven by the versatile applications of cottonseed derivatives in textile processing and production. Asia-Pacific is the growing region in the global cottonseed processing market having more than 1/3rd of the market due to the large cotton production. According to USDA, India and China are the world's top two cotton producers, contributing 45-50% of global production.

Dynamics

Increasing Cotton Production

According to the World Cotton Statistics Report - International Cotton Advisory Committee, globally, annual cotton production stands at 25 million tonnes, leading to a surplus of cottonseed each year. This surplus serves as a vital resource for cottonseed processing. This higher availability of cottonseed enables processors to produce more cottonseed-based products like cottonseed oil and cottonseed meal, to meet growing demand.

As cotton production grows, so does the availability of cottonseed, allowing processors to diversify their product offerings. Cottonseed can undergo processing to yield a range of products, including edible oil, animal feed, and applications in various industries. This diversification not only caters to multiple markets but also enhances revenue streams for processors, making it a mutually beneficial outcome of increased cotton production.

Growing Demand For Cotton Seed Oils

Rising awareness of health and nutrition has resulted in a greater demand for healthier cooking oils. Cottonseed oil, having low saturated fat content and high unsaturated fat content, is considered a healthier option. Standard cottonseed oil has a notable ratio of 40-50% linoleic acid to 16-18% oleic acid, making it a prominent source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, further enhancing its health appeal. Thus health-conscious consumers are boosting the demand for cottonseed oil which further expands the cotton processing market.

Cottonseed oil, being low in trans fats, serves as a suitable replacement for various food products. Cottonseed oil is not only used in households but also has a significant presence in the food processing industry. It is employed in the production of snacks, baked goods, and processed foods, driving demand for bulk quantities of cottonseed oil. These applications are propelling the growth of the cottonseed processing market for cottonseed oil production.

Fluctuating Cotton Production

According to the United Nations COMTRADE database on the international trade report of India Exports of cotton were US$6.94 Billion in 2022, around 3 billion US$ less than in 2021. Cottonseed is the primary raw material for cottonseed processing. Fluctuations in cotton production directly impact the availability and supply of cottonseed. Fluctuating cotton seeds further limits the market expansion of cotton seed processing.

Variations in cotton production can result in price volatility for cottonseed. When cotton production is low, the price of cottonseed may rise due to limited supply, impacting the cost structure for processors. Price fluctuations can make it challenging to budget and plan for production. Consumers and industrial buyers may be price-sensitive, particularly during periods of high cottonseed prices. This sensitivity can limit the demand for cottonseed-derived products, impacting cottonseed processing market growth.

Segment Analysis

The global cottonseed processing market is segmented based on operation, equipment, application and region.

Rising Demand For Cotton in Textile Industry

Textile applications dominate the cotton seed processing market due to the strong and consistent demand for cotton fibers in the textile industry. Cotton fiber is the main raw material used in textile production, making it an important component of the textile industry. Cotton is regarded as a preferable choice for textile manufacturers because of its natural comfort, breathability, and versatility.

The global textile industry is a major consumer of cotton due to its sustained high demand for various cotton-based products, including clothing, home textiles like bedding and towels, as well as industrial textiles such as canvas and tarps. This consistent demand ensures that a substantial share of cottonseed is used for textile production. On December 15, 2022, the Union Minister of Textiles, Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution and Commerce & Industry signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) Limited and TEXPROCIL on Branding, Traceability, and Certification of "Kasturi Cotton India.

Geographical Penetration

Asia-Pacific's Growing Cotton Production

Asia Pacific is one of the largest cotton-producing regions in the world. Countries like China and India are major producers of cotton. As per the Meeting of the Committee on Cotton Production and Consumption(COCPC) held on 12.11.2021, With 120.69 lakh hectares (or almost 36% of the world's 333 lakh hectares) under cotton cultivation, India took first place in the world for cotton acreage. The significant availability of cottonseed as a byproduct of cotton cultivation provides a strong foundation for cotton seed processing in the region.

According to USDA, worldwide India ranks as the second-largest consumer of cotton, having approx 20% of total market, with Pakistan contributing an additional 9% to this market. The report also emphasizes that key global cotton importers include China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam. These export-import dynamics are generating favorable conditions for the expansion of the cottonseed processing market in the region.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players include Lummus Corporation, Bajaj Steel Industries Limited, NIPHA EXPORTS PRIVATE LIMITED, Shandong Swan Cotton Industrial Machinery Stock Co., Cherokee Fabrication, TOYOTA INDUSTRIES CORPORATION, Mitsun Engineering, JIANGSU HONGGANG INDUSTRIES CO., LTD., Spectrum Industries and Anderson International Corp

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID Impact

The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, affecting the movement of raw materials and finished products. This disruption can lead to delays and shortages in the availability of cottonseed and its processed products, affecting the cotton seed processing market. Cotton exports are currently forecasted at 15 million bales, down 1.5 million bales from the April forecast. The decline of global cotton demand hampers cotton seed processing market growth.

The declining global demand for cotton has also negatively affected the growth of the cotton seed processing market. Several factors contribute to this situation, including trade uncertainty, heightened global competition, and economic recession resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. These factors collectively exert continued downward pressure on the cotton seed processing market.

Russia- Ukraine War Impact

The conflict disrupted transportation routes and logistics in the region, and it affected the movement of cottonseed and its processed products. This led to delays or shortages in the market. The war imposed export restrictions on certain goods, including agricultural products including cotton seed which further hampered cotton seed processing market growth.

The war led to fluctuations in global commodity prices, including cottonseed products. The conflict escalated and disrupted commodity markets, which affected the prices of cottonseed and its processed products, influencing the profitability of cottonseed processors. Due to the war, there is a change in consumer behavior. Changes in consumer behavior can impact the demand for cotton-based products, indirectly affecting the cotton seed processing market.
