Sesame Oil Market

Sesame Oil Market

The sesame oil market represents the global and regional trade of oil extracted from sesame seeds, one of the oldest oilseed crops known to humankind. Sesame oil is produced mainly in Asia and Africa, with India, China, Myanmar, Sudan, and Ethiopia among the largest producers. The oil is used extensively across culinary, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications, owing to its rich nutritional and functional profile.

Sesame oil contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (85%), vitamin E, and unique lignans such as sesamin and sesamol, which provide strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. These attributes make it valuable not only as a cooking oil but also in hair care, skincare, massage therapies, soaps, and Ayurvedic formulations. With rising consumer interest in natural oils and traditional wellness practices, sesame oil continues to gain relevance in both developed and emerging markets.
