Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the sesame oil market volume in Western Europe increased from 22 590 t to 27 607 t, a growth of 22%. This expansion was supported by rising consumer preference for cold-pressed and organic sesame oil, valued for its natural and nutrient-rich properties. The oil's growing application in the food industry, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, further stimulated demand.

Market volume contracted to 21 839 t in 2022, a 21% drop from the previous year, but rebounded to 25 689 t in 2023. Global supply chain disruptions and volatility in raw material prices likely contributed to the 2022 decline, while the underlying trend toward healthy, natural oils remained intact, supporting the subsequent recovery.
