The global oat oil market size is anticipated to each USD 111.6 million by 2033 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is propelled by the increasing utilization of natural and nutrient-rich ingredients across cosmetics, personal care, and functional food applications. Oat oil’s versatility, marked by its rich content of essential fatty acids and antioxidants, has positioned it as a preferred ingredient for skin nourishment, barrier repair, and wellness products.
While the market faces challenges such as the high production cost of oat oil and limited raw material availability in certain regions, ongoing innovation in extraction technology and sustainable sourcing presents strong growth potential. Small-scale producers often struggle with maintaining consistent quality and meeting global certification standards, which can hinder large-scale commercialization. However, expanding research into efficient yield optimization and new processing techniques is helping reduce costs. The growing demand for multifunctional, eco-friendly ingredients in cosmetics and food applications is creating new avenues for product differentiation.
Refined oat oil is projected to record the fastest CAGR of 6.5%, driven by its growing use in large-scale cosmetic and personal care formulations. Its lighter texture, improved stability, and longer shelf life make it suitable for mass-market skincare and haircare products. Additionally, manufacturers favor refined variants for their consistency and compatibility across diverse product bases, enabling wider commercial adoption.
The personal care and cosmetics segment accounted for the largest share of 58.7% in 2024, reflecting the strong industry shift toward natural and skin-compatible ingredients. Growing brand emphasis on sustainability and ingredient transparency continues to reinforce oat oil’s position as a premium emollient in the global beauty market.
Europe held the largest market share of 41.3% in 2024, supported by strong consumer preference for natural, sustainable, and certified ingredients in personal care and cosmetic formulations. The region’s well-established beauty industry, coupled with strict regulatory standards promoting clean-label and eco-friendly products, has accelerated oat oil adoption.
Some of the prominent players in the global market include Givaudan, Oat Cosmetics, Charkit Chemical Company, Connoils, Fazer Mills, COSCIENS BIOPHARMA, O&3, Nature In Bottle, and VedaOils.

Based on product, the refined oat oil segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 56.1% in 2024, driven by its superior nutrient retention, natural extraction process, and growing demand across premium skincare and clean-label cosmetic formulations.
Asia Pacific is projected to register the fastest growth at a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period, supported by the expanding personal care industry, increasing consumer preference for plant-based and sustainable ingredients, and rising production of oats in countries such as China and Australia.
In July 2025, researchers at the University of South Australia published a study that mapped the molecular pathways of lipid regulation in oat grains, identifying key enzymes that control oil synthesis. This breakthrough is expected to guide future oat breeding strategies aimed at modulating oil content, which could improve milling efficiency and open up new applications across food and ingredient sectors.
