Edible Animal Fat Market

Edible Animal Fat Market



Growth Factors of Edible Animal Fat Market

The edible animal fat market size was valued at USD 51.10 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 53.78 billion in 2024 to USD 75.92 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.40% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.

The COVID-19 pandemic globally delayed the edible animal fat market growth and slowed the sales rate across all the regions. This signifies a negative change from pre-pandemic trends whereby disruptions in supply chains, changes in customers’ habits and closure of food service outlets have slowed consumption. The market remains challenged by these issues and the trends persist across the food market. Recovery is probably to be rather slow, although the sector will have to evolve to the new conditions.

The increasing focus on the sustainable production of animal fat goods is boosting the edible animal fat market share more as an environmentally friendly option compared to plant-based oils such as palm and coconut oil, which are known to contribute to deforestation and other negative impacts on the environment. Through utilization of animal wastes from meat facilities to produce edible fats such as lard and tallow this comes as a more environmentally friendly approach than methods of extracting plant oils.

Moreover, the Asian population is shifting very quickly from the traditional diet to the Western diet due to increased disposable incomes and industrialization which is promoting animal-derived edible fats. While processed foods and fast food are now famous, fast-food chains are adapting regional cooks and baked products as well as baked goods, which is a key reason behind the utilization of goods such as lard, particularly in the Chinese market. These changes in consumers’ dietary habits are having a positive impact on the sector, as it concerns the animal fats market in the particular region.
