Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2024, Sweden's trade flows for beef, sheep or goat fat showed significant movement. Import values fell slightly initially before rising sharply to a peak in 2021, while exports began a sustained increase from 2018 that continued through 2022.

Available market size data from 2020 reveals a rapid expansion to nearly 20 million USD in 2021, supported by strong growth in domestic production and high import levels that year. This growth phase was followed by a consistent decline over the next three years, as both production and imports retreated from their highs.

The period concluded with the market in 2024 returning to a volume close to its 2020 level, marking the end of a volatile cycle.
