Market Analysis

The global animal fat market is being driven by the increase in demand from the foodservice sector, with the rising application of lard as bread spreads in the baking industry. Due to the rise in demand from downstream sectors, such as biodiesel, food, oleochemical, and pet food industries, the market for animal fat has witnessed a robust growth. The demand for animal fat is being aided by the growing preference for lard instead of butter in baked goods by consumers in rapidly growing regions, like the Asia Pacific.

Animal fat such as lard is also used in the feed and oleochemicals industry. The demand for lard (as a spread for bread) from the German baking sector is growing, further enhancing the market growth. Food companies, especially the bakery sector, obtain lard to be used as a substitute for butter at a volume, which could be anywhere between 500–600 million tonnes on a half-yearly basis. The industry for animal fat is being augmented by the increase in the demand for tallow, which is used in animal food and biodiesel. It accounts for 9% of the biodiesel feedstock, amounting to 2.37 million metric tons in 2017-2018.

China has achieved self-sufficiency in the production of pork and lard. An increase in the consumption of processed foods which utilizes lard has bolstered the market for animal fat. Tallow is preferred over palm stearin as it is a superior quality raw material in the soap making industry. The tallow supply has increased owing to the accelerated growth in the global slaughter rates.
