Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the market volume for fresh or chilled duck meat in the UK remained stable at around 34 000 t, with a minor decline of less than 1% reflecting market stabilization. During this period, ongoing enforcement of food labelling regulations and strict chilling requirements helped maintain product standards and consumer confidence.

The market contracted significantly in 2020, falling by 17.6% to 28 049 t. It rebounded sharply in 2021 with a 26.3% increase to 35 421 t, influenced by global meat market policy shifts that affected trade dynamics. Growth continued in 2022, reaching 39 532 t, driven by rising consumer awareness of food safety and sustainability, advancements in vacuum-sealed and modified atmosphere packaging that extended shelf life, and temporary measures allowing previously frozen duck to be sold chilled to meet peak demand. In 2023, the market eased slightly to 38 027 t, even as factors like growing e-commerce channels and demand for ready-to-cook products supported overall demand.
