More than 75% of cotton grown in the U.S. is genetically modified.
 
Within this market, food processing, retailers, cosmetics, and others are the major application of cottonseed oil. Food processing will remain the largest segment by application type over the forecast period because cottonseed oil is used in various applications and products, including bakery & confectionery, margarines, icings and whipped toppings, salad dressings, and is more importantly used as a frying and cooking oil. 
 
Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to high production of cotton and consumption of the oil as a low-cost alternative and the consistent demand for cottonseed oil, owing to the fact that, China and India are the largest producers of cottonseed oil, due to the abundance of cottonseed production in these countries and also the surging demand for cottonseed oil.
