Honduras`s import trend for the Honduras rennet market showed a modest growth rate of 0.4% from 2023 to 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0% from 2020 to 2024. This growth could be attributed to evolving consumer preferences or changes in trade policies impacting the market.
Honduras's Rennet market is anticipated to experience a growing growth rate of 8.57% by 2027, reflecting trends observed in the largest economy Brazil, followed by Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile.

The rennet market in Honduras is primarily driven by the dairy industry, which relies on rennet for cheese production. The increasing demand for cheese and other dairy products is contributing to market growth. However, the market faces challenges such as limited local production, dependency on imports, and fluctuating raw material costs. Additionally, the shift toward vegetarian and microbial rennet alternatives is influencing market dynamics. The lack of advanced dairy processing infrastructure in Honduras further restricts market expansion. Nonetheless, the growth of the dairy sector and increasing consumer preference for cheese products may support future market development.
The increasing demand for dairy products in Honduras, particularly cheese production, is a major driver of the rennet market. The growth of the food processing industry and the rising popularity of traditional and specialty cheeses contribute to increased demand for rennet. Technological advancements in enzyme production and the shift towards microbial and plant-based rennet due to consumer preferences for vegetarian-friendly products further drive the market. Additionally, the expansion of dairy farming and government support for the agricultural sector enhance the availability of raw materials for rennet production, supporting overall market growth.
The dependency on imported rennet due to limited local production presents a challenge for the Honduran market. Fluctuations in the prices of raw materials, such as calf stomach enzymes and microbial cultures, affect production costs. Regulatory restrictions on animal-derived rennet and increasing consumer demand for plant-based alternatives require industry adaptation. The lack of advanced processing technology in Honduras makes it difficult for local producers to compete with international suppliers. Additionally, limited awareness among small-scale dairy producers about the benefits of different types of rennet slows market growth.
The rennet market in Honduras is indirectly affected by agricultural and food safety policies. Government regulations primarily focus on food safety standards to ensure dairy products meet health requirements. However, there are no specific policies supporting local rennet production or importation. The dairy industry benefits from broader agricultural support programs, but small-scale producers often lack access to subsidies or technical assistance. Policies aimed at supporting dairy innovation, reducing import tariffs on enzymes, and promoting local biotechnology development could benefit the rennet market.
