Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for sesame oil and fractions in ASEAN fluctuated between 2018 and 2023, starting at 176.2 thousand tonnes in 2018, dipping to 148.9 thousand tonnes in 2022, and recovering to 168.7 thousand tonnes in 2023. This pattern suggests periods of contraction followed by a rebound, with the lowest point occurring in 2022.

The market value showed a different trajectory, increasing from $1.2 billion in 2018 to $1.5 billion in 2023, despite volume fluctuations. This rise in value indicates a shift towards higher-priced segments, such as organic or cold-pressed oils, which command premium prices.

By 2024, key market drivers included the expansion of production capacity by Vietnamese firms like Vocarimex, a strong consumer trend towards chemical-free and organic sesame oil products, and increased focus on sustainable production methods. These factors supported export growth and aligned with regional supply chain improvements, shaping the market's evolution.
