The expanding need within the food service and retail sectors is set to catalyze the olive oil market's growth in the forthcoming times. The food service area encompasses all aspects, actions, and commercial processes linked to preparing and distributing meals to individuals dining outside their homes, such as at restaurants and fast food joints. The term "retail industry" implies the responsibilities and actions linked to directly dispensing goods to consumers. The escalating demand for olive oil in food service and retail domains is stimulating the olive oil market since it's employed in the preparation of numerous recipes and cuisines in eateries and home cooking. For example, the International Olive Council, an intergovernmental organization based in Spain that focuses on table olives and olive oil, stated in March 2022 that the global consumption of olive oil could rise by 2.9% from the harvest year 2020/21 to 3214 500t in 2021/22. Therefore, the surging demand in the food service and retail segments is fueling the market.

In the olive oil industry, creating new and innovative products is becoming an increasingly prominent trend. Companies, in order to solidify their presence in this market, are focusing on developing unique offerings. A testament to this is the January 2022 product launch by Graza, a US-based manufacturer of extra virgin olive oil. They introduced two unique products, namely Drizzle and Sizzle, which are the first of their kind. These products, packaged in squeeze bottles, are made using Picual olives, a specialty from the prosperous agricultural region of Andalusia, Spain. This area is renowned for creating an always fresh, remarkably healthy, and singularly sourced extra virgin olive oil. Drizzle is a product made from olives harvested in the first week of October, providing an oil that is delectably aromatic, loaded with polyphenols and antioxidants. Sizzle, on the other hand, is gathered in December at the peak of the growing period, resulting in a beautiful mix of purple and green olives that yield a greater amount of oil.
