Market Composition and Segmentation

1. Vegetable Oils

Vegetable oils represent the largest segment in the U.S. edible oils and fats market. It is widely used across households, restaurants, and food manufacturing due to its neutral flavor, affordability, and high heat tolerance.

Canola oil follows closely, favored for its low saturated fat content and high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Sunflower, corn, and safflower oils are also increasingly popular, especially among consumers seeking non-GMO, heart-healthy alternatives.

1. Animal Fats

Animal fats, including lard and tallow, have traditionally played an important role in American cooking and baking. However, their popularity declined in recent decades due to health concerns related to cholesterol and saturated fats. Nonetheless, they are making a modest comeback, particularly among those following high-fat diets like keto or paleo. Furthermore, animal fats are increasingly being used in industrial applications such as biofuel production.
