Codex Update Triggers Growth in Maize Oil Demand
The Codex Alimentarius Commission revised its Standard for Named Vegetable Oils in 2025, specifically defining maize oil as oil derived from maize germ.
This update provides a clearer standards reference for maize oil, which is increasingly used across various applications, including cooking oils, foodservice, prepared foods, and other edible-oil uses.
The Corn Germ Oil Market is projected to rise from USD 403.1 million in 2026 to USD 694.4 million by 2036, representing a 5.4% CAGR.
