Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for linseed oil and fractions in Mexico declined from 3 500 t in 2018 to 2 024 t in 2022, before recovering to 2 378 t in 2023. This overall contraction was driven by a sharp drop in imports, which fell from 2 807 t to 724 t over the same period, outweighing the expansion in domestic production.

Local production increased significantly from 700 t in 2018 to 1 400 t in 2021, stimulated by growing regional demand in Latin America linked to health-conscious consumption trends, vegan and vegetarian diets, and perceived nutritional benefits of organic and cold-pressed linseed oil. These factors supported higher output despite the broader market decline.

Imports began to recover after 2022, reaching 1 078 t in 2023, with available data showing further increases to 1 477 t in 2024 and 1 158 t in 2025. The market's partial rebound in 2023 reflects this import recovery alongside stable production levels.
