Driving Factors

The growing consumer desire for natural, sustainable products is fuelling the beef tallow market.

Tallow in skincare appeals to consumers who reject synthetic substances because it mimics human oils. Its high smoke point and historical origins in cooking draw chefs and paleo or keto diet adherents. Furthermore, the use of tallow in biodiesel contributes to worldwide environmental initiatives by providing a low-emission, renewable, and biodegradable fuel substitute. All of these elements work together to increase tallow's attractiveness to consumer markets that are concerned about their health and the environment.

Restraining Factors

The increasing trend towards vegan and plant-based substitutes is being fuelled by health, environmental, and ethical reasons.

These factors hamper the tallow market during the forecast period.
