Earlier Report Observations

The market for bran, sharps and residues in Southern Asia expanded steadily between 2018 and 2023, with production volume growing from 33 310 K t to 37 006 K t. This increase in domestic output was a primary driver behind the rise in overall market size, which reached 37 733 K t by the end of the period.

From 2021 onwards, a sharp rise in imports became a significant factor, with volumes jumping from 60 K t in 2020 to 907 K t in 2023. This substantial influx of material from abroad directly contributed to the growing availability of products within the regional market.
