Coconut Oil Market: Prices to Keep Rising in 2022 - IndexBox


Coconut oil prices will continue rising this year, following the fundamental trend relevant to all vegetable oils. On limited supply and increasing logistic costs, the average annual coconut oil price is set to grow by 2.3% y-o-y to $1,674 per tonne in 2022.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The average annual coconut oil price is forecast to rise by 2.3% y-o-y to $1,674 per tonne in 2022, a recent report by a market research firm IndexBox states. In 2021, the average annual coconut oil price soared by 62% y-o-y to $1,636 per tonne. Limited supply and high freight rates were the main drivers of that increase. Rising prices for other vegetable oils that follow the same fundamental trend also contribute to the price growth of coconut oil.

According to IndexBox estimates, global coconut oil production declined approximately by -0.6% y-o-y to 3.5M tonnes in 2021 owing to unfavourable weather and Covid-related labour shortages in Malaysia and Argentina. At the same time, the demand for coconut oil remained strong, which shattered the market balance and propelled prices.
