Cold pressed sunflower oil refers to a vegetable oil obtained from sunflower seeds, through mechanical pressing under low-temperature conditions. Typically, cold pressed sunflower oil does not undergo high-temperature solvent extraction or extensive chemical refining; instead, it emphasizes low-temperature processing, physical pressing, minimal intervention, natural flavor, nutrient retention, and premium health attributes. It is primarily used in salads, cold dishes, dipping sauces, low-temperature cooking, premium home cooking, baking, infant/health foods, organic foods, and plant-based foods. The upstream segment of the value chain includes sunflower seed cultivation, high-oleic varieties, organic/non-GMO raw materials, harvesting, storage, and grading; the midstream segment covers low-temperature pressing, sedimentation, filtration, light dewaxing, bottling, and certification management; and the downstream segment encompasses premium home cooking, high-end retail, organic food stores, gourmet dining, and health food products. Gross margins range from approximately 20% to 40%.

Regionally, Europe and North America represent high-end consumer and certification-driven markets; the Black Sea region serves as a key source of raw materials and export supplies; the Asia-Pacific market is experiencing rapid growth yet remains price-sensitive; and the Middle East market places a strong emphasis on Halal certification and import stability. Moving forward, industry competition will center on trends such as health-oriented products, minimal processing, the development of high-oleic varieties, organic and non-GMO certification, supply chain traceability, high-end e-commerce retail, and antioxidant packaging technologies.
