FOIE GRAS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global foie gras market size was USD 0.97 billion in 2025, is expected to rise to USD 1.03 billion in 2026, and is forecasted to reach USD 1.67 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 5.6% throughout the period from 2025 to 2035.

To put it simply, foie gras is fatty liver. Force-feeding corn to ducks or geese to fatten their livers is a common method used to produce upscale cuisine. Using feeding tubes called gavage, this forceful feeding process is carried out. Duck or goose liver is used to make the delicacy dish known as foie gras. After around 100 days of feeding to help them put in weight, ducks and geese are killed. Compared to the goose, the duck is more commonly utilised to make foie gras. The narrow food storage system in the alimentary canal of ducks and geese makes them perfect for making foie gras.

The advent of new cutting-edge electrical technology and ongoing unique inventions both contribute to the foie gras market growth. The market for foie gras is also expanding as a result of the tremendous advancement in animal husbandry, which includes automated feeders.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Led To A Decline in the Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Foie Gras Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the global lockdown guidelines had an impact on a number of commercial enterprises. Additionally, COVID-19 made it more difficult for people to mobilize for employment, especially farmers. People's incomes and purchasing power have declined as a result. Food insecurity and the number of undernourished people increase as a result of rising food prices. Due to the increased demand for foie gras products following the outbreak, the foie gras industry would grow.

LATEST TRENDS

Agreement Toward Sustainable Land Management To Increase Agricultural Productivity

The development of production houses and their incorporation are promoting market expansion. Additionally, the market is expanding due to the consumption rate, which is rising quickly along with recurring demands. Over the years, European nations have consistently dominated the foie gras industry, and this tendency is likely to continue in the years to come. The major Foie Gras producer is France.

• According to the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, France produced approximately 18,100 tonnes of foie gras in 2023, representing around 72% of global output. The ministry also reported that over 1,800 certified farms transitioned toward higher animal welfare standards by 2024, showing a growing trend toward ethically sourced foie gras.

• According to the European Federation of Foie Gras Producers (Euro Foie Gras), exports of foie gras from Europe increased by 16% between 2021 and 2023, mainly due to rising demand in Asia and the Middle East. Japan and China together accounted for nearly 28% of all European foie gras imports, reflecting a shift in global consumption toward premium gourmet products.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Disposable Income of Consumers to Amplify Market Growth

The foie gras market share is primarily driven by the rising emigrant population and the need for high-quality, delectable food. Expandable income and a rising non-vegetarian population are two additional significant variables driving the market's expansion. Foie Gras byproducts, such as foie gras meal for animal grazing, are in high demand right now. Due to the products' high nutritional value, consumers found them more appealing, which is growing the market. Demand for byproducts of foie gras was increased by consumers' higher discretionary income in industrialized nations and their improved Foie Gras productivity.

Rising Animal Feed Consumption to Boost Market Growth

In nations that are fast developing, like China, the demand for animal protein increased, as did the demand for high-protein animal feedstuffs like foie gras meal. Production of foie gras is in higher demand as long-term growth rates surpass increases in yield per land unit. Foie Gras meal is therefore used both as food for humans and as animal feed. Demand for protein-enriched meals is rising as a result of the advantages they offer in terms of health and the expansion of livestock, cattle, ruminants, and other animals on the market worldwide.

• According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global duck and goose production rose by 9.3% between 2019 and 2023, directly supporting foie gras supply. The FAO also noted that over 45 countries now permit regulated foie gras production, which has expanded international trade and created new market opportunities.

• According to the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), the domestic gourmet food sector grew by 11.5% in 2023, driven by tourism and high-end dining demand. This rise boosted local foie gras consumption, with over 62% of French households purchasing foie gras products during the winter season, strengthening the market’s retail base.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Regulatory Standards and High Cost of the Product to Be a Major Restraint

The artificial manufacture of fatty livers for foie gras raises the important question of animal welfare and impedes market expansion. Lack of regulatory standards is among the major issues limiting the growth of the foie gras meal industry. This trend is far more pervasive in nations where national farm safety standards are governed by frameworks based on scientific risk.

• According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), animal welfare regulations affected about 14% of foie gras farms in 2023 due to non-compliance issues. Stricter guidelines on force-feeding methods and bird health monitoring have increased production costs by an average of 8–10% annually, limiting profit margins for small-scale producers.

• According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), foie gras imports to the United States dropped by 19% in 2023 after several states, including California and New York, reinforced ethical sourcing bans. This regulatory tightening reduced international market access for European producers, particularly impacting exports from France and Hungary.
