As the government strengthens waste-to-energy frameworks under its National Waste Management Policy, Indonesia’s UCO industry is expected to witness both increased foreign direct investment and consolidation. Between 2024 and 2032, the market is forecast to grow steadily, supported by export demand and rising domestic adoption in biodiesel blending programs.
Significance of Indonesia in Global Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Supply Chain
Indonesia’s strategic significance lies in its dual role as a massive UCO generator and a reliable exporter to Europe and China. Globally, the UCO trade was valued at US$ ** billion in 2023, with Asia contributing nearly **% of the supply. Indonesia alone accounted for **% of global exports, ranking as the third-largest supplier after China and Malaysia. This position is reinforced by Indonesia’s vast palm oil-driven edible oil consumption base, which ensures consistent UCO generation.
The European Union’s reliance on Indonesian UCO has deepened since 2020, with imports from Indonesia growing at an average annual rate of **%. For example, in 2022, the Netherlands imported ** thousand tonnes of Indonesian UCO for its biodiesel sector, while Spain and Italy collectively accounted for another thousand tonnes. This makes Indonesia not just a regional supplier but also a pivotal enabler of Europe’s carbon-neutral fuel transition.
Moreover, Indonesia’s UCO exports also help balance global waste oil prices. With export values averaging US$ 1,100 per ton in 2023, the country plays an important role in stabilizing feedstock costs for biofuel producers. By 2032, Indonesia’s share in the global UCO supply chain is expected to rise to nearly **%, highlighting its growing strategic influence.
Indonesia Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Supply & Demand Trend
The Indonesian UCO market is shaped by robust supply potential and steadily rising international demand. On the supply side, an estimated ** million tonnes of UCO was generated in 2023, but only about **% entered the formal recovery chain due to fragmented collection systems. Demand, however, is stronger than available formalized supply, particularly from the EU, which imported ** thousand tonnes of UCO from Southeast Asia in 2022, with Indonesia contributing half.
Domestic demand for UCO as biodiesel feedstock is also increasing. The Indonesian government’s B35 mandate (**% biodiesel blending) implemented in 2023 is projected to consume nearly ** million kiloliters of biodiesel annually, opening opportunities for waste-based feedstocks. However, most biodiesel plants still rely heavily on crude palm oil (CPO), given the higher recovery costs of UCO. At present, local biodiesel firms pay about US$ 0.85 per liter for CPO, compared to US$ 0.95–1.00 per liter for UCO. This price differential often discourages domestic use, pushing more UCO into exports.
The demand-supply gap is further complicated by illegal or undocumented trade. Industry estimates suggest that up to ** thousand tonnes of UCO annually bypass formal channels, being sold to small soap manufacturers or exported without proper documentation. Unless addressed, this parallel economy will continue to limit transparent supply growth. By 2032, Indonesia’s formal UCO supply is expected to rise to ** million tonnes annually, balancing against rising EU and regional demand.
Indonesia Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Market Growth Factors
Indonesia Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Market Segmentation
The Indonesian UCO market can be segmented by source, application, and end-user industries. By source, household and foodservice sectors dominate supply. Restaurants, hotels, and catering services generated about 0.9 million tons of UCO in 2023, representing nearly **% of total recoverable supply. Households contributed another ** million tonnes, though recovery from this segment remains low due to weak collection networks. Industrial food processors accounted for the balance, contributing roughly ** million tonnes annually.
By application, biodiesel production is the single largest consumer of Indonesian UCO exports, accounting for nearly **% of demand. In 2022, Indonesia exported ** million tonnes of UCO for biodiesel processing in Europe, generating over US$ ** million in revenue. Domestic biodiesel plants, however, consumed less than ** million tonnes due to cost competitiveness issues with crude palm oil.

End-user segmentation highlights the dominance of European renewable fuel companies, with players such as Neste (Netherlands), TotalEnergies (France), and Eni (Italy) sourcing substantial UCO volumes from Indonesia. Within the domestic landscape, local refiners and exporters such as Wilmar International, Musim Mas, and Sinarmas dominate trade flows, while smaller soap and chemical producers cater to the non-fuel segment. By 2032, biodiesel applications are expected to capture nearly **% of UCO demand, underscoring the export-driven nature of the market.
Indonesia Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Trade (Export & Import) Trend
Indonesia’s UCO trade has grown steadily, with exports increasing from ** thousand tonnes in 2019 to ** thousand tonnes in 2022, generating over US$ ** million in revenues. The European Union remains the primary destination, with the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy collectively accounting for more than **% of shipments. China is also a rising trade partner, with imports from Indonesia crossing ** thousand tonnes in 2023, up **% year-on-year.
Tariff structures are relatively favorable for UCO exports. While crude palm oil faces export levies of up to US$ 200 per ton, UCO enjoys lower duties, often exempt under waste-based product categories. This cost advantage has further incentivized exporters to divert supply from domestic biodiesel production to overseas markets.
On the import side, Indonesia imports negligible volumes of UCO, given its vast domestic generation capacity. However, small volumes of refined waste oils are occasionally imported from Malaysia and Singapore for blending. With trade partnerships deepening, especially under EU-ASEAN sustainability dialogues, Indonesia’s UCO exports are projected to reach ** thousand tonnes annually by 2032, cementing its role as a critical supplier to global low-carbon fuel markets.
Influence of Indonesia in Global Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Price
Indonesia wields significant influence on global UCO prices due to its sizeable export volumes and competitive supply base.
