From 2024 to 2028, the supply of mutton and goat meat calories per capita in China is expected to exhibit a moderate growth trend. Starting at 21 kcal per capita per day in 2024, it maintains this level in 2025 before increasing to 22 kcal per capita per day in 2026, continuing through to 2028. This reflects an approximate year-on-year growth rate of around 4.76% from 2025 to 2026, with no variation thereafter within this forecasted period.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include potential shifts in consumer preferences toward more diverse protein sources, which could affect demand dynamics and dietary patterns in China’s rapidly evolving market. Additionally, any changes in agricultural policies or import-export regulations may also impact the domestic availability and distribution of mutton and goat meat.
