Global olive oil market demand and consumption trends

Overview

The global olive oil market is experiencing significant shifts in demand and consumption patterns. Initial reports highlighted volatility driven by rising consumer interest in health-focused products, such as the Mediterranean diet, and a growing appetite for ultra-premium oils in markets including South Korea, Japan, and Brazil. While producers face competition from lower-priced refined oils, extra virgin olive oil remains a key quality benchmark.

Subsequent data from the International Olive Council (IOC) confirmed growth in several major markets between late 2025 and early 2026. China and Brazil emerged as primary drivers, with Chinese imports increasing by 61.2% and Brazilian imports rising by 40.5%. In Australia, household penetration and consumption have also rebounded, supported by promotional campaigns like ‘The Drizzle Effect’. This recovery in the Australian market has specifically benefited Spanish exports, which grew by nearly 7% by April 2026.
