In 2023, the horse meat slaughtering industry in Mexico recorded an actual value of 530.00 thousand heads. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a year-on-year percentage decrease in the number of horse meat slaughters, beginning with 525.77 thousand heads in 2024 to 505.08 thousand heads in 2028. This downward trend reflects a steady decline in the industry. The year-over-year variation percentages indicate a consistent reduction in volumes, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years showing an average annual decrement.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences, regulatory impacts on horse meat production, and shifts in export demand. Environmental and animal welfare considerations may also influence the industry's trajectory moving forward.
