Post-industrial 4.0 revolution, due to the increasing urbanization coupled with digitalization and innovation of path-breaking techniques, the world is currently facing growing global demand influx. Furthermore, the constant requirement change and affinition towards the green and sustainable environment have paved opportunities for various players to capitalize on the growing market. This has given rise to the concept of biodiesel, which in return is raising the global used cooking oil market size. While the automotive sector is upsurging with a production of 95.63 billion cars as of 2018, the global air pollution has become the fifth leading risk of mortality worldwide. Therefore, biodiesel or biofuel can bring emission rates in control, as well as act as a substitute for the fast depleting fossil fuels. Biodiesel produced from used cooking oil or edible oil can result in an 84% reduction in carbon footprint compared with fossil diesel, without any modifications to the vehicle. Hence, the global concern for a pollution-free world will further drive the used cooking oil market. Several governmental policies are undertaken to stop polluting the environment by throwing used cooking oil in waterbeds or reselling them to local vendors for reuse. Instead, the government is asking the consumers to use it in the procurement of biodiesel.  For instance, in August 2019, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister of India announced the launch Repurpose Used Cooking Oil (RUCO) program and mobile phone application for collection of used cooking oil (UCO) for converting it to biodiesel in 100 cities across the country, on behalf of state-run oil marketing companies such as IndianOil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum. Also, in February 2019, Muenzer Bharat, a biodiesel manufacturing company of the subcontinent announced the production of 100% water-based biodiesel from used cooking oil, which can be used for gensets to produce electric energy or can be blended with diesel to make environment-friendly vehicles. Almost 8.5 billion liters of diesel is consumed by India, in every month, and the latest governmental policies aim to blend 5% of it in a diesel by 2030.

As of 2018, the global used cooking oil market size was evaluated at around $500.61 million, which has the potential to witness increment at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period 2019-2025. The report details used cooking oil market size by type and market size by applications, used cooking oil market share by top 5 companies and also the market share by startups.

The transport biofuel production elevated 7% year-on-year in 2018 and a 3% annual production growth is expected to be witnessed in the next five years. However, this falls short of the targeted 10% output growth per year, according to the Sustainable Development Goals until 2030. This trade influx can be managed through the increasing used cooking oil market demand, as cooking oils such as corn oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, and others can produce biodiesel. Moreover, the edible oil market was evaluated at $90.1 billion in 2018, is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period 2019-2025. Neutral Fuels, the UAE-based biodiesel manufacturer has been supplying biodiesel produced from used cooking oil for a long time. However, the challenge of sourcing good quality used cooking oil has compelled them towards a ground-breaking shift. From a strain of enzyme derived from the fungus that grows on a soybean, they have converted bad used cooking oil into good biodiesel in May 2017. This breakthrough innovation will entice several used cooking oil suppliers, paving impeccable revenue to the used cooking oil market.
