This trend is amplified by a growing awareness of the benefits of omega-rich oils and the avoidance of trans fats. Additionally, younger demographics, particularly millennials and Gen Z, are favoring sustainable and ethically sourced products, reflecting a cultural shift towards environmental responsibility. As lifestyles become more health-oriented, the demand for oils that align with clean eating and wellness continues to rise, reshaping the market landscape.
