The global rendered poultry products market size was valued at USD 6.74 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 6.92 billion in 2023 to USD 8.65 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.24% during the forecast period. North America dominated the global market with a share of 56.37% in the year 2022.


Rendering of animals is one of the oldest forms of recycling, where the byproducts of animal tissues are processed into useful products such as meat meal, poultry meal, bone meal, and others. Such derived products are widely used as feed ingredients for livestock, poultry, aquaculture, and other domestic animals. According to Render Magazine, 2021, the U.S. produced approximately 10,245 metric tons of rendered poultry products (tallow, poultry fat, grease, and meat meal) by slaughtering animals such as cattle, sheep, and others. Moreover, the growing utilization of animal byproducts in various applications such as food and feedstock and rising concerns over environmental sustainability further boost the global market size.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Sluggish Growth in Domestic Production Due to Restrictions in Processing Industries 


The rendering industry observed significant disruptions in the marketplace due to the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the year 2020, nationwide lockdowns and strict governmental regulations across various countries have severely affected the food and feed processing industries in terms of ongoing production, raw material procurement, and new product approvals. According to the North American Renderers Association, in 2020, the production of all rendered poultry products was around 10.2 million metric tons, which is down by more than 4% from 2019. Moreover, livestock slaughter activity was largely limited, causing farms to either hold or mercy killing of animals. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in 2020, the total cattle slaughter was around 32.8 million head, which declined as compared to 2019. Thus, such instances further limit the rendering activities across the markets. Although the demand for rendered poultry products remained stable, the pandemic crisis has harshly affected the global supply chain. The scarcity of raw materials and shortage of labor led to a number of interruptions and a production decline. Thus, the key players in the market are trying to recover their losses by working on appropriate measures to minimize or eliminate the hindrances in production and supply chains.

Rising Usage of Poultry Fat in the Production of Biodiesel to Boost Market Growth


The agro-food industry produces large amounts of waste that contributes to environmental contamination. Animal fat consists of the major relevant waste generated from animal slaughtering and the meat industry, and the treatment of such waste is quite costly due to stringent environmental regulations. However, a fraction of such costs can be reduced through the generation of bioenergy. Biodiesel contains a reasonable renewable source of energy and has emerged as a substitute for fossil diesel as it is biodegradable, non-toxic, and also contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The most common renewable sources used for the production of biodiesel mainly include vegetable oils and other recovered animal fats. The role of poultry fat is largely evolving and is currently considered to be a potentially superior low-cost raw material for biofuel production. According to the amount of research conducted, it is concluded that there are possible chances for obtaining biodiesel through a transesterification reaction of animal fats. Moreover, the companies are expanding their business line by diversifying their portfolio with biofuel, which will aid the way toward poultry rendering market growth. For instance, in August 2019, Eni opened its new bio-refinery in Gela, Italy, which uses animal fats, algae, and byproducts to manufacture high-quality biofuels.


DRIVING FACTORS


Role of Animal Rendering in Environmental Sustainability Plays a Vital Role in Driving Market Growth 


In today’s era, environmental sustainability is a crucial challenge, and the process of rendering can provide a solution to overcome such adverse effects on environmental health. Rendering is a vital process to reclaim and recycle leftover byproducts such as animal feed, used cooking oils (UCO), and others for new applications. According to the “American Feed Industry Association,” 2021, rendering minimizes greenhouse gas emissions by 72% and fossil fuel use by 80% and also avoids around 90% of the total GHG emissions as compared to industrial composting. The importance of rendering has existed for centuries and is recognized as the most sustainable practice for improving the carbon footprint, reducing food wastage, and water reclamation. According to the North American Renderers Association, 2020, approximately 62 billion pounds of raw materials are cooked and rendered to produce approximately 31.4 billion pounds of poultry products annually from the U.S. and Canada. As a result, these large volumes of animal byproducts and used cooking oils are further recycled, resulting in the overall reduction of carbon emissions.


Emerging Use of Rendered Poultry in the Food and Feed Industry Promotes the Growth Trajectory


For hundreds of years, the rendering process has been used to recycle unwanted animal tissues into feed and fertilizers, which are used to grow the next generation of food. Rendered poultry products play a vital role in several applications, such as in the production of pet food, jellies, jams, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals. Moreover, in order to fulfil the surging demand for value-added animal feed, farmers are trying to intensify their livestock slaughtering activities, which will further improve the production rate worldwide. Rendering has emerged as a classic and eco-friendly way to produce valuable protein and fats, which improves the nutritional status of the animal food used by farmers to feed their poultry, fish, and other ruminants. Besides, rendered products, such as gel bone, are often used to develop gel caps for vitamin capsules, supplements, drugs, and other cosmetics. For instance, in May 2022, Rousselot introduced its latest pharmaceutical-grade gelatin, Quali-Pure HGP 2000, which is specially designed for wound healing applications. The product also offers additional benefits of controlled endotoxin levels, which further induces the scope of biomedical applications. Such instances further drive the rendered poultry products market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Stringent Regulations on Rendering Activities to Impede the Market Growth


The global rendered products market largely depends on strict veterinary laws to prevent widespread infection from animal diseases by keeping customer-centricity in mind. With the evolution of strict government rules & regulations across the globe, the rendering industry faces many challenges in terms of the growth and development of novel products. The European Fat Protein Renderers Association (EFPRA) and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) propose strict principles for rendering activities and thus fulfill the highest regulatory standards worldwide. Moreover, such restrictions often pose a halt in the import and transport activities of the products, thereby restricting growth. Apart from this, the rising trend of plant-based proteins has resulted in increased demand for better-for-you products, which, in turn, can shrink the growth of rendered poultry products in the forecast period.


SEGMENTATION


By Type Analysis


Usage of Poultry Fat in Various Applications to Contribute to the Segment’s Growth 


On the basis of type, the market is distributed into poultry fat, grease, protein meal, and others. The poultry fat segment is dominant due to its maximum usage in numerous applications. Poultry fat, also known as chicken fat, is mainly derived from rendered chicken tissues after processing. Poultry fat is highly consumed in every part of the world as it is the richest source of linoleic acid and other nutrients such as vitamin E and choline. Thus, it is largely used as a flavouring agent in chicken broth, spreads, and dressings for salads and others.


Protein meal is also one of the most utilized ingredients for preparing different types of animal feeds. Also, to fulfil the livestock's protein requirements, protein meals such as soybean meal and fishmeal are largely used for feeding. Thus, all such developments enhance the global market share of rendered poultry products.
