Global oilseed markets are experiencing significant growth, driven by soaring soybean demand. According to Oil World, global oilseed crush volumes are set to rise for the third consecutive year, reaching an estimated 580 million tonnes by the 2025/26 marketing season. Soybeans, which have seen a marked increase in reliance since the 2023/24 season, dominate this growth trajectory, with a forecasted crush volume of 372.3 million tonnes by 2025/26. Adverse weather has hampered the production of other oilseeds like sunflower and rapeseed, keeping their growth muted. Key contributors to the surge in soybean crushing include China, the United States, Brazil, and Argentina, which continue to expand processing capabilities. With an impressive decade-long growth of 95 million tonnes in global soybean processing, the oilseed sector remains a pivotal driver in global commodity markets.
Oil World, based in Hamburg, Germany, stated that driven by robust soybean demand, global oilseed crush volumes are set to register substantial growth for the third consecutive year.
Global oilseed crush volume is projected to hit approximately 580 million tonnes in the 2025/26 marketing season (October to September the following year), representing a cumulative increase of 65 million tonnes over three years.
Since the 2023/24 season, global reliance on soybeans has deepened, while growth in crush volumes of other oilseeds has slowed markedly. This is primarily attributable to production losses in major sunflower seed and rapeseed growing regions caused by adverse weather conditions.
Oil World forecasts that the global soybean crush volume will reach 372.3 million tonnes in 2025/26, an increase of 11.2 million tonnes from the 2024/25 season, bringing the total three-year growth to 56.1 million tonnes.
The expansion in soybean crushing is mainly concentrated in China, the United States, Brazil and Argentina. The global soybean processing volume stood at 277 million tonnes in the 2015/16 season, marking a total growth of 95 million tonnes over the past decade.
