According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Edible Animal Fat Market Report by Type (Butter, Lard, Tallow, and Others), Source (Cattle, Pig, and Others), End User (Food-Industry, Non-Food Industry), and Region 2025-2033,” the global edible animal fat market size reached USD 56.4 Billion in 2024. Edible animal fat refers to lipids derived from animals that are safe and healthy for human consumption. It is composed of fatty acids, glycerol, and vitamins A, D, E, and K. It remains solid at room temperature due to its high proportion of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. It has a high smoke point, which makes it suitable for high-heat cooking methods like frying and sautéing. It helps increase satiety, reduce overeating, and support weight management. It improves the texture and flavor of various dishes and aids in enhancing the overall gastronomic experience. Besides this, some animal fats are used in nutritional supplements, on account of their high content of essential vitamins.
