The virgin coconut oil market is an industry involved in the production, distribution, and sale of virgin coconut oil (VCO) extracted from fresh coconut meat, which does not undergo chemical refining or bleaching processes. Virgin coconut oil has high market value because of its natural composition, which is rich in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), antioxidants, and lauric acid. It has widespread uses as a cooking ingredient, cosmetic, personal care product, or even in traditional medicine. Moreover, the growth of the market has considerably been driven by increasing health consciousness among consumers. It is because numerous health benefits of VCO are attributed to expanding its application in medical consumables and pharmaceutical products for maintaining good health. Being rich in healthy fatty acids and containing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, the type of product is reportedly gaining traction as a nutraceutical ingredient across the globe and is increasingly acquiring popularity among health-conscious populations. However, there is adequate availability of alternative oils, including virgin olive oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, canola oil, and others, that have similar nutritional profiles as VCO, which is expected to restrain the market growth. The fortification of canola and olive oils by various producers to retain their essential nutrients has also shifted the interest of the consumer toward alternatives. Apart from that, the smoke point of virgin coconut oil is higher than that of the mentioned oils and therefore suitable for baking and cooking.
The conventional segment held the largest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
