Edible oil packaging in India has evolved and come a long way. Manufacturers are doing away with tins and glass bottles. Semi-rigid containers or flexible pouches are gaining more popularity as they provide long shelf life; are light weight, economical, offer more hygiene, safety and can be easily transported. However, a lot of cooking oil and fats still continue to be traded in loose or in unpacked form. This leaves lot of scope for companies to come up with economical and safer cooking oil filling & packaging solutions.
Refined oils are being replaced by healthier options like olive oil, canola oil and refined rice bran oil. Olive oil which was earlier used for personal care purpose has gained a foothold in the premium segment Indian edible oil market. Also there has been a rise in demand for newer categories of oil segments like palm oil, soya bean oil, gingerly and mustard oil. Manufacturers have therefore started concentrating on the new trend and demand while choosing contemporary cooking oil packaging machines.

Indian edible oil companies are also entering the fortified oil segment where these oils have vital vitamin content viz. A, D & E, to help fight malnutrition. Rising demand for low fat & cholesterol oil which addresses the health aspect and enables users to stay light and active is another major trend witnessed in this industry. There has also been a steady rise in demand for branded edible oil market with sunflower and soya oils leading the market. Oil manufacturers have been benefitted with customized oil filling and packaging machines that help pack in various pouch formats.

Also buying edible oil in bulk versus smaller quantities is another major trend where sectors like hospitality do bulk purchase like purchasing 15litre tins, whereas a general household purchase oil units like 1 litre and 2 litre oil pouches and ghee pouches or 5litre cans. Oil packaging machine manufacturers have been closely following these new market trends.
