Due to the growing demand for edible oils and their usage in food, cosmetics, and biofuel, the African palm oil market has emerged as one of the most significant regions in the worldwide palm oil market. The palm oil market in Africa has experienced rapid expansion over the years, with projected revenues of $9.79 billion in 2023 and $14.76 billion in 2032, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.72%. Africa's production of palm oil has significantly increased recently. The main producers, for both domestic and international markets, are Nigeria, Ghana, and Ivory Coast.
Due to the rapid urbanisation and population increase in Africa, there is an increasing demand for vegetable oils. As more people adopt urban lives, they consume more processed and convenience meals, which are primarily made with palm oil. The growing middle class in Africa is another important element that is changing their consumption patterns and necessitating more items made from palm oil. In addition to being more cost-effective than other vegetable oils, palm oil's versatility and widespread use in cooking by households and food manufacturing businesses have contributed to the trend.
