This shift is reflected in the demand for oils that are perceived as healthier, such as palm oil and sunflower oil, which are often marketed with health benefits. Additionally, demographic changes, including a younger population increasingly engaged in global food trends, are prompting a preference for diverse cooking oils. This evolving landscape is further shaped by urbanization, as more consumers seek convenience in their food preparation choices.
