Global Olive and Olive Derivatives Market Resarch Report 2026 | Industry to Reach $28.61 Billion by 2030 as Health, Sustainability and Premium Products Drive Growth
Dublin, Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Olive and Olive Derivatives Market Global Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global olive and olive derivatives market is forecast to expand from $21.75 billion in 2025 to $22.94 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. Market growth has been supported by established Mediterranean dietary patterns, the expansion of olive cultivation, stronger packaged food and retail distribution networks, and the widespread use of olive oil in culinary applications.
Looking ahead, the olive and olive derivatives market is projected to reach $28.61 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.7%. Rising demand for plant-based foods, functional ingredients, organic products and clean-label formulations is expected to support this expansion. Olive-derived bioactive compounds are also gaining traction in nutraceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products and other value-added applications.
Health-conscious consumption remains a major market driver. Consumers are increasingly choosing natural, nutrient-rich fats and minimally processed foods as part of broader efforts to improve nutrition and reduce the risk of chronic disease. This shift is strengthening demand for extra virgin olive oil, table olives, olive extracts and other olive-based ingredients used in everyday food products and dietary supplements.
According to the International Food Information Council's June 2024 findings, 54% of Americans followed a specific diet or eating pattern during the previous year. Interest in increasing protein intake rose from 59% in 2022 to 67% in 2023 and 71% in 2024. Approximately half of consumers were also seeking to eat more fresh foods. These preferences are creating opportunities for olive and olive derivative producers to position their products within health-focused, plant-based and functional food categories.
Sustainability is another defining trend in the global olive market. Producers are investing in efficient cultivation, advanced extraction methods, optimized logistics and improved use of olive processing by-products. Cold-pressed and extra virgin olive oil production continues to gain momentum as manufacturers seek to preserve nutritional quality and meet demand for premium products. Olive pomace, leaves, seeds and kernels are also being utilized in bio-based industrial applications, renewable energy projects, cosmetics and concentrated extracts.
In December 2023, UAE-based food company IFFCO Group launched Rahma Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil with carbon-neutral certification. The products incorporate measured emissions reductions across agricultural practices, processing and logistics, while remaining emissions are addressed through certified renewable energy and community sustainability projects. The launch reflects growing demand for environmentally responsible edible oils and transparent supply chains.
Premiumization is further reshaping the olive and olive derivatives market. Flavored, infused, stuffed and gourmet table olives are expanding within specialty food channels, while premium extra virgin olive oils are attracting consumers seeking provenance, quality and distinctive flavor profiles. Olive-based cosmetic formulations are also benefiting from the continued shift toward natural and organic personal care ingredients.
Merger and acquisition activity is strengthening competitive positions in key markets. In March 2026, Australia-based Cobram Estate Olives Limited acquired California Olive Ranch Inc. for an undisclosed amount. The transaction expanded Cobram Estate's presence in the United States and added California Olive Ranch's production assets, brands and distribution network to its international portfolio. It also increased the company's vertically integrated capabilities in premium extra virgin olive oil production.
North America was the largest regional market for olive and olive derivatives in 2025. Asia-Pacific is expected to record the fastest growth through the forecast period, supported by changing dietary preferences, urbanization, retail development and rising demand for premium and health-oriented food products.
