Cold Pressed Oil Market Forecasts to 2032 - Global Analysis By Product Type, Packaging Type, Pack Size, Distribution Channel, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Cold Pressed Oil Market is accounted for $32.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $48.7 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. Cold-pressed oil is extracted from seeds, nuts, and fruits using mechanical pressing at low temperatures, preserving nutrients, natural flavor, and aroma. Unlike refined oils, it retains antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, making it popular in health, beauty, and culinary applications. Rising health awareness, demand for chemical-free products, and interest in plant-based diets are boosting market growth. Increasing adoption in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and functional foods further supports demand.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing consumer preference for natural products

The cold-pressed oil market is strongly driven by the increasing consumer inclination toward natural and chemical-free products, particularly for cooking and personal care. Growing awareness about health benefits such as higher nutrient retention, antioxidant properties, and minimal processing makes cold-pressed oils highly attractive. Additionally, the rising adoption of healthy dietary habits and clean-label products across urban populations supports market expansion. Moreover, the demand for plant-based and organic oils is increasing in both developed and developing economies, which is expected to significantly boost consumption patterns during the forecast period.

Restraint:

Higher cost compared to refined oils

A major restraint affecting the cold-pressed oil market is its relatively higher cost compared to refined oils, which restricts its penetration among price-sensitive consumers. The cold pressing method yields a lower oil output, thereby increasing production costs. The premium positioning of these oils makes them less affordable for middle- and lower-income households. Moreover, conventional refined oils are widely available at competitive prices, leading consumers to prefer cheaper alternatives in cost-conscious markets. This pricing disparity continues to challenge wider adoption despite the growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of cold-pressed oils.

Opportunity:

Expansion in e-commerce retail channels

The cold-pressed oil market is witnessing significant opportunities through the expansion of e-commerce retail channels, providing consumers with convenient access to diverse product offerings. Online platforms are enabling smaller producers and emerging brands to reach broader audiences at reduced distribution costs. Additionally, the growing popularity of digital marketing and subscription-based models is boosting product visibility and recurring sales. Consumers are increasingly purchasing health-focused products online, supported by favorable payment options and doorstep delivery services. This channel expansion is expected to create strong growth avenues for manufacturers and distributors in the coming years.

Threat:

Competition from cheaper alternatives

Despite the nutritional benefits of cold-pressed oils, affordability often outweighs health considerations among a large consumer base. Counterfeit or low-quality cold-pressed oils sold at lower prices further intensify market competition. Moreover, established edible oil brands offering fortified refined oils with added health claims create additional barriers. These competitive pressures can significantly hinder market penetration and reduce consumer loyalty toward authentic cold-pressed oil brands in emerging economies.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the cold-pressed oil market. On one hand, demand increased as consumers focused on immunity-boosting, natural, and chemical-free products. Additionally, heightened health consciousness encouraged greater adoption of organic oils in daily diets. On the other hand, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and fluctuating raw material availability limited production and distribution. Moreover, retail store closures during lockdowns temporarily slowed sales. However, the rise of e-commerce during the pandemic offset losses, allowing the market to maintain resilience and regain steady growth momentum after initial disruptions.

The soybean oil segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The soybean oil segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, driven by its extensive use in cooking, food processing, and industrial applications. Soybean oil offers a favorable nutritional profile, including omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, making it increasingly popular among health-conscious consumers. Additionally, its widespread availability and relatively lower cost compared to other cold-pressed oils support its dominance. Furthermore, we anticipate that the growing demand for plant-based oils in both developed and emerging markets will bolster the growth of the segment.

The pouches segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the pouches segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, owing to its cost-effectiveness, convenience, and eco-friendly packaging appeal. Pouches require less material compared to bottles or jars, reducing transportation and storage costs. Their lightweight and resealable features enhance consumer preference, particularly in urban households seeking practical solutions. Moreover, the increasing shift toward sustainable packaging aligns with growing environmental concerns, encouraging producers to invest in pouch formats. These factors collectively position the pouches segment for robust growth throughout the forecast period.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share, supported by its vast population, traditional oil consumption practices, and growing awareness about health benefits. Countries such as India, China, and Japan exhibit strong demand for natural and organic oils due to cultural and dietary preferences. Rising disposable incomes and rapid urbanization in these nations are driving premium product adoption. Moreover, the presence of abundant oilseed production in the region ensures supply stability, making Asia Pacific a dominant contributor to global cold-pressed oil market revenues.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, fueled by growing consumer demand for organic, non-GMO, and chemical-free oils. Health-conscious populations in the U.S. and Canada are increasingly adopting cold-pressed oils in cooking, skincare, and wellness products. The presence of established retail networks and strong e-commerce penetration is accelerating product accessibility. Moreover, rising vegan and plant-based dietary trends complement the demand for cold-pressed oils. These factors collectively position North America as the fastest-growing regional market.
