Earlier Report Observations

The UK rapeseed oil market volume declined from 679 thousand tons in 2018 to 583 thousand tons in 2020, as a substantial drop in domestic production outweighed a simultaneous surge in imports of refined oil, which reached 156 thousand tons in 2020.

A sharp reversal began in 2021, with market size growing to 806 thousand tons by 2023. This expansion was directly fueled by supply shortages of sunflower oil following the Ukraine conflict, which prompted manufacturers to switch to refined rapeseed oil. Regulatory flexibility, including a temporary suspension of labeling rules, facilitated this substitution. Imports, after a dip, rebounded to 140 thousand tons in 2023, further supporting consumption.

Throughout the period, underlying consumer demand for cold-pressed and sustainably produced rapeseed oil continued to influence the market, though domestic production did not recover to its earlier levels.
