In 2024, market conditions were influenced by an unprecedented rise in sesame oil prices driven by export demand to foreign countries. Consumer preference shifted toward natural and organic profiles without chemical additives, while European regulatory changes, such as the gradual ban on mineral oils in packaging by 2024, indirectly affected the sector. Industry innovations through joint ventures and partnerships, alongside heightened quality controls due to food contamination incidents, also shaped the operating environment.
