According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Partially Hydrogenated Oil market size was valued at US$ 568 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 644 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 1.9% during review period.
Partially Hydrogenated Oil (PHO) is a type of fat that is created through the hydrogenation process, where hydrogen molecules are added to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid at room temperature. This process alters the chemical structure of the oil, leading to the formation of trans fats, which were widely used to enhance the texture, shelf life, and flavor stability of processed foods. Commonly found in baked goods, margarine, and fried foods, PHOs have been under scrutiny due to their link to adverse health effects, particularly cardiovascular diseases. As a result, many countries have regulated or banned their use in food products, encouraging the shift toward healthier alternatives like fully hydrogenated oils or natural fats.
Market Trends for PHOs
The market for PHOs has significantly declined due to global health concerns and stringent regulatory measures. Many countries, including the United States and those in the European Union, have banned PHOs following the World Health Organization's (WHO) call to eliminate industrially-produced trans fats by 2023. This has led manufacturers to explore alternatives, such as palm oil, interesterified fats, and innovative lipid formulations. Despite the decline, emerging economies still show limited use of PHOs in small-scale industries due to cost advantages. The market is witnessing a transition as both consumers and producers favor healthier and more sustainable oil options.
Future Outlook and Alternatives
The elimination of PHOs has driven innovation in the food and oil industries. Companies are investing in research to develop healthier fats with similar functional properties to PHOs. Fully hydrogenated oils, which do not contain trans fats, and naturally stable oils like coconut or palm oil are gaining prominence. Moreover, advancements in enzymatic interesterification and high-oleic oil production are offering sustainable and health-conscious solutions. While PHOs are being phased out, the broader edible oil market continues to evolve, focusing on consumer demand for health, transparency, and sustainability. The future is expected to see increased adoption of clean-label and functional oil alternatives.
