Duck meat and offal market in Eastern Europe (including Northern Asia)

Earlier Report Observations

The duck meat and offal market in Eastern Europe saw significant growth in 2019, with volume reaching 130.1 thousand tons. This surge was driven by the rapid development of the offal segment, which expanded by 102.8%, and the introduction of new product forms such as large-cut and small-cut items, supported by major producers like Damate and Ulybino.

Market volume then fluctuated over the next three years. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 contributed to a decline to 103.2 thousand tons. A recovery followed in 2021, reaching 119.6 thousand tons, as consumer preferences shifted towards chilled meat and semi-finished products. In 2022, volume fell again to 92.7 thousand tons.

By 2023, the market rebounded to 107.9 thousand tons. This growth was supported by further assortment expansion, including chilled meat and offal, enabling year-round sales, along with updated storage and handling requirements that improved product availability.
