India Leads Asia Pacific Market as State Governments Focus on Subsidies

Globally, Asia Pacific is expected to hold the largest volume share. Countries such as India, China, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam are some of the largest producers and exporters of rice bran oil across the globe. In Japan, rice bran oil is popularly known as “heart oil” as it keeps cholesterol at a low level and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Among all the Asian countries, India is expected to register significant growth in the rice bran oil market. Rice, being one of the most important cereal crops in India, the country remains the second-largest rice producer worldwide. Based on the country’s paddy production, currently rice bran output potential is more than 9 million tons. However, India is processing nearly 5 million tons and the rest goes for cattle feed. Thus, there is still an untapped potential, which could create substantial new opportunity pockets for the manufacturers.

Relevant to this market potential, the Indian state government and manufacturers are seeking to expand their production capacity. For instance, in December 2020, in Odisha, India, the state government issued a subsidy of US$ 1.4 Mn to the existing rice bran oil manufacturers. Similarly, in March 2021, Gemini Edibles & Fats announced that the company is planning to fully convert one of its existing units for rice bran oil production. Thus, increasing health consciousness among the consumers and demand for fat-free and nutritional products are driving the overall rice bran oil market growth during the forecast period.
