Rendered Poultry Products Market Outlook 2025-2034: Market Share, and Growth Analysis By Type (Poultry Fat, Grease, Protein Meal, Other Types), By Grade (Food Grade, Feed Grade, Industrial Grade), By Application

The Rendered Poultry Products Market is valued at USD 8.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% to reach USD 11.7 billion by 2034.The Rendered Poultry Products Market plays a significant role in the global animal by-products industry, converting poultry processing waste into valuable materials such as poultry meal, poultry fat, and feather meal. These products are widely used in animal feed, pet food, biofuels, and industrial applications due to their high protein and energy content. The rendering process not only adds economic value to waste but also contributes to sustainability by reducing environmental impact and promoting a circular economy. With rising demand for protein-rich animal feed and sustainable raw materials, the market is gaining traction among livestock producers, feed manufacturers, and bioenergy companies. Technological advancements in rendering methods, along with strict regulatory frameworks for safety and quality, are shaping market dynamics. Growing awareness about resource optimization and waste minimization further supports the adoption of rendered poultry products in global value chains. The rendered poultry products market witnessed stable growth, driven by strong demand from the livestock and pet food industries. Poultry meal and fat saw increased utilization in aquafeed and pet nutrition due to their cost-effectiveness and digestibility. Feed producers in North America and Europe expanded usage of rendered products as sustainable protein alternatives to fishmeal and soybean meal. Emerging markets in Asia and Latin America scaled up rendering capacities to support domestic poultry processing industries and reduce feed import dependence. Sustainability initiatives also influenced procurement strategies, with manufacturers seeking traceable and eco-friendly ingredients. Technological upgrades in rendering facilities improved energy efficiency and product consistency, while stricter regulations around animal by-product usage ensured compliance and quality assurance. Meanwhile, volatility in raw poultry prices prompted some producers to explore long-term supply agreements to stabilize sourcing for rendering operations. The rendered poultry products market is expected to see moderate but consistent growth, supported by expanding poultry production, rising global protein consumption, and advancements in waste processing technologies. Demand from aquaculture and pet food sectors will remain strong, while biofuel manufacturers may increasingly incorporate poultry fat as a low-carbon feedstock. Greater emphasis on circular economy principles and zero-waste food processing will encourage poultry integrators to invest in in-house rendering operations. In developing regions, improvements in cold chain and slaughterhouse infrastructure will enable higher collection rates of poultry by-products, increasing raw material availability for rendering plants. Innovation in functional feed additives derived from poultry proteins may also open new revenue streams. However, market growth will depend on continued consumer confidence, regulatory harmonization, and the ability of producers to meet evolving sustainability and traceability standards in the global feed and pet food supply chain.
