Drivers and Restraints

Rising Popularity of Mediterranean Diet to Propel Market Development

The Mediterranean diet's popularity is expected to increase the demand for olive oil in Europe. This diet is gaining popularity in Belgium, Greece, Iceland, and Spain. To promote the Mediterranean diet and high-quality olive oil, the European Commission has started programs like MedDiet, the Mediterranean Diet Virtual Museum, and MedEat Research. Also, the demand for organic foods in Europe is expected to help the market grow. However, competition from other oils like canola and sunflower oil in some European countries might hinder this growth.

Europe Olive Oil Market Growth

The European olive oil market is experiencing robust growth, propelled by a convergence of key consumer trends. Rising health consciousness and the widespread appeal of the Mediterranean diet are primary drivers, with consumers increasingly aware of olive oil’s benefits. This fuels a strong premiumization trend, where Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) dominates the market. Consumers are willing to pay more for high-quality, flavourful oils, elevating it from a simple cooking ingredient to a gourmet product.

Spain, Italy, and Greece continue to lead production but face significant headwinds. Climate change is the most pressing issue, with severe droughts and heatwaves drastically reducing harvest yields and causing unprecedented price volatility. This supply instability threatens both producers and the stability of retail prices.

Despite these challenges, the outlook remains positive. The market’s future growth is increasingly tied to value-added segments. Demand for organic, single-origin, and geographically protected (PDO/PGI) oils is surging. This powerful shift towards products with clear provenance and sustainable credentials resonates with ethically-minded consumers, ensuring the market's positive long-term trajectory as it navigates environmental hurdles and reinforces its commitment to quality and transparency.
