Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the Polish market for unfit-for-human-consumption meat flours and greaves remained within a narrow range of 105.6 to 109.3 thousand tons. During this period, increased supplies of raw slaughter meat and poultry meat in 2018 supported the production base for these by-products.

After 2020, market volume fell sharply to 83.6 thousand tons in 2021 and continued declining to 53.8 thousand tons in 2024. Broader meat industry trends, such as the growing importance of poultry meat, affected the sector in 2023. In 2024, higher meat deliveries and consumption suggested greater raw material availability, yet the market volume contracted significantly.
