Sunflower oil is derived from sunflower seeds and currently represents the third most consumed edible oil by volume in India after palm oil and soybean oil. Currently, most of the sunflower oil demand comes from the southern states of India. Domestic production of sunflower oil is limited and most of the demand is met by imports. Ukraine currently represents the largest exporter of sunflower oil to India.

Some of the key drivers of the sunflower oil market in India include its large population, rising urbanization rates, increasing health consciousness, and its rising nonfood applications. Sunflower oil consists of a mix of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and has a high smoking point.
