Earlier Report Observations
The market for lard and poultry fats in Israel showed notable volatility between 2018 and 2023. After reaching a peak of 779.4 metric tons in 2019, total market volume began a steady downward trajectory, falling to 532.6 metric tons by 2023—a reduction of roughly 32% from the high point.
This contraction coincided with the rise of Israel's meat-alternative sector. In 2020, startups entered the market with cultivated and plant-based meat technologies, offering substitutes that could replace traditional animal fats. The trend continued in 2021 with significant investments and a focus on yeast-produced animal proteins and fats, further providing alternatives that likely reduced demand for conventional lard and poultry fats.
