The dietary habits of consumers in APAC have witnessed significant transformation in the last decade or so. The impact of western dietary habits is palpable on the cooking oil demand in APAC, with many existing and new players launching low-fat products in the market. Although these gains have been prominently noticed by cooking oil manufacturers, average consumption of premium cooking oil products per consumer is still on the lower side.

Key players are focusing on penetrating these suburban centers to strengthen their position in the market.
