In 2023, China led the global mutton and goat meat demand with 35.46 thousand metric tons, demonstrating a slight annual growth of 0.61%. India, the second-largest market, saw a decline of 1.41%, while Pakistan and Iran exhibited modest growth. African countries like Nigeria and Algeria showed contrasting trends, with Nigeria declining and Algeria experiencing an increase in demand. Notably, Chad recorded the highest positive variation at 1.37%. Other key markets such as the United States and the United Kingdom experienced notable gains.
Over the past five years, China's dominance has been reinforced as it consistently contributes a significant share to global consumption, while the demand in European countries like France and Greece has seen consistent declines. Variations in political stability and economic conditions in countries like Kenya, Egypt, and Uruguay significantly impacted their demand patterns.
Looking ahead, keep an eye on demographic shifts and dietary trends influencing demand in emerging markets like Bangladesh and Indonesia. Sustainability concerns and economic fluctuations will also play a critical role in shaping future demands across different regions.
