Drivers and Restraints:

Increasing Demand for Organic Processed Meat Products to Promote Growth

Synthetic food products often contain elevated levels of nitrites and nitrates, which, when consumed in large amounts, can pose health risks, including a heightened risk of cancer. This concern is driving an increasing demand for safe and healthy food alternatives, contributing to the expansion of organic animal husbandry. Organic processed meat products are preferred due to their lower pesticide content, freshness, and longer shelf life compared to synthetic options. Moreover, the growing consumer demand for convenience and ready-to-eat products is encouraging manufacturers to choose organic meat options. This trend is anticipated to fuel the growth of the global processed meat market in the coming years.

COVID-19 TO Drive the Sales of the Product

The global pandemic has profoundly affected economies worldwide, bringing numerous activities to a standstill. Government-imposed lockdowns in several regions have hampered growth prospects across various sectors. However, these lockdowns have also led to a surge in demand for convenience food products that require minimal preparation and offer longer shelf life. This shift in consumer behavior is expected to positively impact the market, as there is an increasing preference for healthy, organic processed meat products. This trend is viewed as a favorable indicator for market growth and is likely to continue for at least the next few years.

Regional Insights:

High Demand for Healthy Convenience Food Products in North America to Foster Growth

North America led the global processed meat market with a valuation of USD 212.05 billion in 2019 and is expected to retain its position as the top revenue-generating region throughout the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to the growing demand for convenience foods and high-protein meat products, supported by a strong distribution network.

Europe is anticipated to be the second-largest market during the forecast period, driven by a significant population that consumes processed meat, particularly in countries like Italy, Germany, and France.

The Asia-Pacific region is poised for substantial growth, driven by rising urbanization and increasing disposable incomes among the working population. The high adoption of ready-to-eat food products in this region is also expected to contribute to market expansion between 2020 and 2032.
