15. It does not seem like a big dollar volume any way, maybe $2 billion

Meanwhile, China’s exports of used cooking oil hit record highs in 2024, with the U.S. accounting for 43% of the total.


Article did not provide a dollar amount for the trade.

I found this: https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/used-cooking-oil-market-report

The global used cooking oil market size was estimated at USD 8.00 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 11.98 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2025 to 2030. The growth of this market is primarily driven by increasing awareness regarding the value of waste cooking oil, a significant increase in biofuel production, and an inclination toward the use of renewable energy sources.

North America dominated the global used cooking oil industry with revenue share of 41.7% in 2024.
The U.S. held the largest revenue share of the regional industry in 2024.
Based on application, biodiesel production segment dominated the market with largest revenue share of 50.0% in 2024.
