The forecast for non-food uses of animal fats in China shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 1.36 million metric tons in 2024 and decreasing to 1.3 million metric tons by 2028. The forecasted data suggests a consistent decrease of approximately 1% year-over-year. No specific data for 2023 is provided, hence comparative analysis from 2023 is not possible.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts towards more sustainable and alternative non-animal fat products which could further influence demand.
Regulatory changes in China concerning environmental impact and resource use.
Innovations in industrial applications that could either bolster or reduce the reliance on animal fats.
