Earlier Report Observations

The Chinese linseed oil-cake market remained relatively stable from 2018 to 2021, with annual volumes fluctuating between 373.6 thousand tons and 383.5 thousand tons. A modest increase to 383.5 thousand tons in 2019 was followed by a slight contraction to 378.7 thousand tons in 2020 and nearly flat growth at 379.0 thousand tons in 2021.

Market size expanded significantly to 435.0 thousand tons in 2022 and surged by 23% to 536.6 thousand tons in 2023. This growth coincided with the diversification of linseed oil-cake into food, health supplement, and cosmetic applications, which broadened demand. Increased competition among major producers, including Ningxia Yusuf Halal Food Co., Ltd. and Puyang Zonghu Industry & Trade Co., Ltd., further stimulated market activity. While the COVID-19 pandemic caused global supply chain disruptions, the market demonstrated resilience and continued expansion.
