Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for coconut oilcake in Brazil grew from 1 248 t in 2018 to 1 324 t in 2019, then stabilized around 1 322 t in 2020. This initial increase was partly driven by rising global consumption of coconut oil in the food and industrial sectors, which grew by 14.7% between 2016 and 2020, creating production shortages and boosting demand for coconut derivatives including oilcake.

In 2021, the market expanded further to 1 435 t, continuing the upward trend. By 2022, it held steady at 1 434 t despite new Brazilian labeling rules for coconut oil that prohibited weight-loss and therapeutic claims. During this period, the acquisition of Desmet by Alfa Laval indicated increased investment in oil processing technology, while major companies like Unilever launched cosmetic products with coconut oil, reflecting shifting consumer preferences towards natural ingredients.

The market volume settled at 1 414 t in 2023, marking a period of overall stabilization. Throughout, Brazil remained the world's fifth-largest coconut producer but with a limited share in global oilcake production due to its focus on green coconut and other derivatives, which shaped market dynamics.
