According to a recent report by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the sales of processed meat are projected to reach a valuation of $356.5 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of around 4.6% over the next ten years.

The Processed Meat segment encompasses all types of processed meat, divided into subsegments such as Ham & Bacon, Sausages, and Cold & Roast Meat Products, excluding fresh meat or pre-cooked meat-based ready-to-eat meals.

Key factors driving the growth of the global processed meat market include increased disposable income and reduced time for home cooking due to busy lifestyles. These factors are expected to significantly boost the market during the forecast period.

In the global food and beverage industry, innovation and new product development emphasize strong natural, health, and sustainability credentials. Products made with healthy and nutritious ingredients and labeled with minimal processing or clear health benefits from natural components are particularly appealing to consumers in developed economies with higher incomes and an aging population.

Emerging markets such as China and India are expected to play a crucial role in the global meat and poultry sector due to rising affluence and healthy eating trends. Packaged processed meat products, sold by established corporations like WH Group in China and Godrej Tyson Foods Ltd in India, are considered hygienic and high-quality. These companies are increasingly focusing on chilled processed meat to meet consumer demand for fresher, healthier products.

Increased Demand for Essential Nutrition Driving Global Market
Despite trends toward vegetarian diets, processed meats remain a key part of consumers’ diets, particularly as a source of protein. According to a recent Fact.MR survey, only about 3% of consumers exclude meat from their diet for a 14-day period. However, the percentage of meals containing meat has steadily decreased, with meat increasingly used as an ingredient rather than a main dish.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the meat production and supply chain, affecting key distribution channels such as hotels, restaurants, and cafes. Quick-service restaurant chains like McDonald’s, KFC, Subway, and Burger King faced closures, leading to revenue losses for the global processed meat market during lockdown periods.
