Oilseeds Market Research Report by Category (Conventional and Genetically Modified), Oilseed Type (Soybeans, Sunflower Seed, Cotton Seed, Canola Seed), Biotech Trait (Insecticide-Resistant, Herbicide-Tolerant), and Region - Forecast till 2030

Market Scenario:

The Oilseeds Market is predicted to reach USD 244.11 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.2%. Oilseeds are the seeds used to cultivate oil crops such as sunflower, soybean, canola, and cotton. The seeds, fruits, or nuts of these oil crops are either consumed directly as food or crushed to extract oil for the food, biofuel, oleochemicals, and other industries. Owing to the continuous increase in demand for oilseed extracts, farmers are investing in the production of oil crops with high-quality oilseeds.     

The demand for oilseeds is mainly driven by the growing demand for vegetable oils in the increasing number of households. Moreover, the rising need for biofuels in developing as well as developed countries is triggering the growth of the oilseeds market. To fulfill the ever-growing demand for oil across the globe, farmers are inclining toward adopting genetically modified oilseeds to increase yield.
