Earlier Report Observations

The palm oil market volume in the Americas demonstrated consistent growth from 2018 to 2022, rising from 3 402 thousand tons to 5 139 thousand tons. This expansion was underpinned by a steady increase in domestic production, which climbed from 5 008 thousand tons to 5 835 thousand tons over the same five-year period.

A notable reversal occurred in 2023, when market volume fell to 4 173 thousand tons. This contraction aligned with a sharp decline in U.S. trade activity, where import value dropped by 16.5% and export value fell by 17.1% compared to the previous year. Concurrently, global supply chain constraints and heightened consumer focus on sustainability began to redirect market flows and preferences.

Entering 2024, the regional market continued to be shaped by sustainability imperatives and technological innovation. The United States remained a central hub, with demand spanning food, biofuel, and personal care sectors. Advances in processing techniques, including fractionation, aimed to enhance product quality and meet rising standards for traceable and certified palm oil.
