In 2023, the usage of mutton and goat meat for non-food purposes in France stood at approximately 7.0 thousand metric tons. The forecast for 2024 predicts a similar figure of 7.0 thousand metric tons. Following this, the projections indicate a decline to 6.0 thousand metric tons from 2025 onwards, maintaining this level until 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease of approximately 14.3% from 2024 to 2025, followed by stability in subsequent years. The cumulative five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average annual decline, hinting at reduced non-food applications over this period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in industrial demand for mutton and goat derivatives.
Impact of regulatory changes on non-food uses.
Technological advancements in alternative materials that could decrease reliance on animal derivatives.
