Earlier Report Observations

The European duck meat and offal market displayed considerable volatility in volume between 2018 and 2023. After reaching a peak of 487.8 thousand tons in 2019, the market contracted sharply to 385.3 thousand tons in 2020. A partial recovery followed in 2021, but another significant decline occurred in 2022, bringing the market size down to 332.1 thousand tons.

A rebound to 363.7 thousand tons took place in 2023. This growth aligned with a broader consumer shift towards premium and speciality foods, driven by demand for rich, savory culinary experiences. Product innovation served as a key market driver, with interest further signaled by over five European startups actively exploring lab-grown duck meat as an innovative alternative.

Specific 2024 dynamics pointed to continued market activity, particularly in France where duck consumption volume surged by 59.2%. This was accompanied by a substantial 134.4% increase in roasting duck stocks early in the year and a parallel rise in the foie gras segment, where volume and value grew by 15% and 14% respectively, reflecting sustained demand for high-end duck products.
