In 2023, China's cottonseed oil consumption per capita was measured at 0.50 kilograms. Projections from 2024 onwards indicate a slight decrease, stabilizing at 0.49 kilograms through 2025, before reducing incrementally to 0.47 kilograms by 2028. The annual changes show a consistent downward trend, with a marginal year-on-year decline of about 2.1% in 2026 and 2028. While volume per capita is anticipated to diminish slightly, market conditions suggest possible stabilization post-2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential influences from health trends steering consumer preferences.
Changes in China’s domestic cottonseed production impacting supply.
Economic growth potentially influencing dietary shifts and consumption patterns.
Regulatory changes affecting cottonseed oil production and distribution.
