The forecast for Germany's production of rendered lard and pig fat from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase. In 2023, the production stood at 165.0 million kilograms. Starting from 169.0 million kilograms in 2024, the volume is anticipated to grow annually, reaching 182.86 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth reflects an average increase of approximately 2% annually from 2024 to 2028. This indicates a strong, consistent demand and a stable market for these products.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences toward plant-based alternatives, which could potentially impact the growth rate in this sector. Additionally, changes in EU regulations regarding animal fat production may also influence future demand and production levels. Staying informed on these trends will be critical for stakeholders in the industry.
