Earlier Report Observations

The market for pig fat free of lean meat and poultry fat in New Zealand contracted significantly from 2 111 tonnes in 2018 to 1 785 tonnes by 2020. This downward trend reflected a broad reduction in domestic consumption over the period.

Market volume stabilized at 1 789 tonnes in 2021 and then increased to 1 861 tonnes in 2022. These years were marked by a strong consumer shift towards health-consciousness, with growing demand for low-fat and plant-based diets applying downward pressure on traditional fat products. Concurrent macroeconomic conditions and a cultural preference for locally sourced meat may have provided some counterbalancing support to overall demand.

By 2023, the market had decreased again to 1 800 tonnes, continuing the longer-term pattern of gradual volume decline.
