Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the domestic market volume for animal guts, bladders and stomachs in Denmark contracted from 15 122 t to 7 402 t. This decline was primarily driven by strong export growth, particularly a 27% surge in export volumes in 2019, which diverted a larger share of production away from the local market.

Underlying demand was supported by activity in related industries. Investments in biotechnology and digestive enzyme production, notably by Danish company Novozymes A/S, which uses animal-derived materials, provided a steady outlet for output even as the domestic volume shrank.

Market value peaked at $89.6 million in 2021 despite falling physical volume, indicating higher unit prices. A subsequent 7.5% decline in animal feed import prices in 2023 coincided with the market's lowest physical volume, before a recovery to 11 813 t occurred in 2024.
