Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the Romanian linseed oil market volume expanded from 1,220 t to 1,621 t. This growth was primarily driven by increasing consumer preference for unrefined and cold-pressed vegetable oils, perceived as healthier options. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, while disrupting supply chains for small farmers, further boosted demand for such oils in both the food and cosmetic sectors.

In 2021, the market contracted sharply to 1,129 t as soaring raw material prices and higher production costs squeezed producers. The market then recovered to 1,293 t in 2022 and reached 1,441 t in 2023, aided by improved global production of unrefined oils following better harvests and continued consumer interest in quality and health-oriented products. Throughout the period, manufacturers pursued product differentiation strategies, launching specialty and organic oil segments to move beyond commoditized competition.
