From 2013 to 2023, the volume of frozen sheep meat consumption per capita in Lithuania exhibited minor fluctuations, beginning at 0.019 kg in 2013 and reaching a level of 0.021 kg by 2023. While 2014 peaked slightly at 0.023 kg, subsequent years witnessed marginal decreases, stabilizing at 0.021 kg from 2020 onward. Year-over-year variations were notably minimal, and over the past 5 years (2019-2023), the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) essentially reflected near stagnation.
In terms of future trends, potential influences to observe include the evolving dietary preferences towards plant-based diets, increased awareness of local sourcing, and regulatory changes impacting meat production and imports. A pertinent factor could also be shifts in consumer purchasing power influencing market dynamics in the near term.
