Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, Mexico's pig fat market showed consistent growth, with production rising from 105.4 thousand tons to 118.7 thousand tons and market volume expanding from 104.8 thousand tons to 124.2 thousand tons. This period reflected stable domestic demand and incremental increases in output.

In 2022, market volume experienced a slight contraction to 121.1 thousand tons. During this year, consumer preferences were shaped by health considerations: fresh pig fat was perceived as a healthier alternative to hydrogenated vegetable fats due to its lack of trans fats, yet negative associations with heart disease persisted among some consumers. These competing influences contributed to a stabilization of overall consumption.

The market rebounded sharply in 2023, with volume reaching 155.3 thousand tons. This surge was primarily driven by a significant increase in imports, which jumped to 31.7 thousand tons, meeting heightened demand and offsetting the previous year's minor decline.
