Fats & Oils

The Fats & Oils category under SIC 2070 spans rendering animal fats, refining vegetable oils, and creating specialty shortenings, margarines, oleochemicals, and biofuel feedstocks for food manufacturers, restaurant chains, personal care brands, and renewable diesel or sustainable aviation fuel producers. Customers rely on consistent quality, traceable supply, and tailored functionality, while operators juggle commodity price volatility, crop yield swings, geopolitical trade shifts, and strict FDA/USDA food safety, labeling, and emissions rules alongside deforestation and ESG scrutiny. In 2024-2025, the sector is leaning into low-trans and high-oleic formulations, regenerative and certified-sustainable sourcing, waste-oil collection, and capacity expansions for renewable diesel, all while deploying automation and energy efficiency to protect margins. Continued consolidation and joint ventures with energy companies are reshaping the landscape as climate-driven weather risk keeps raw material costs unstable.
