Earlier Report Observations

The tallow market in Luxembourg contracted significantly from 585 t in 2018 to 266 t in 2021. It then recovered to 376 t in 2022 before edging down to 362 t in 2023. Over this period, domestic production generally declined, while imports increased steadily and exports experienced considerable volatility, particularly a sharp rise from 2019 onward.

In 2024, tallow import volumes fell to 47 t and exports dropped sharply to 17 t. This shift in trade flows occurred alongside a broader industrial downturn in Luxembourg, where industrial production decreased by nearly 3% during the first seven months of the year, a factor that likely softened industrial demand for materials like tallow.
