Premium Edible Oil Demand Grows Amid Rising Prices and Supply Challenges
Consumers are increasingly choosing premium cold- and wood-pressed edible oils despite higher prices, driven by health concerns and brand trust. Major companies like Marico and Tata Consumer Products are expanding in this segment amid rising raw material costs and import duty changes that may widen price gaps with regular oils. Meanwhile, overall food prices, including edible oils, have risen due to supply shocks, weather disruptions, and geopolitical factors. While onion prices are expected to ease with new harvests, edible oil costs may remain elevated longer, impacting household budgets.
