Drivers and Restraints:

Increasing Demand for Organic Processed Meat Products to Promote Growth

Synthetic food products often contain higher levels of nitrites and nitrates, which, when consumed in large quantities, can have harmful effects on the human body, including an increased risk of cancer. This concern is driving a growing demand for safe and healthy food options, leading to a rise in organic animal husbandry. Organic processed meat products are favored for containing fewer pesticides, being fresher, and having a longer shelf life compared to their synthetic counterparts. Additionally, the increasing demand for convenience and ready-to-eat products is pushing manufacturers to choose organic meat options, a trend that is expected to drive 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 significantly impacted economies worldwide, bringing many activities to a halt. Government-imposed lockdowns in several regions are hindering growth prospects across various sectors. However, the lockdowns resulting from the novel coronavirus have led to a surge in demand for convenience food products that require minimal preparation time and offer a longer shelf life. This shift in consumer behavior is expected to benefit the market, as there is a growing preference for healthy organic processed meat products. This trend is seen as a positive indicator for market growth, likely to persist for at least the next couple of years.

Regional Insights:

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

Among the regions, North America led the global processed meat market, with a valuation of USD 212.05 billion in 2019. It is expected to maintain its position as the highest revenue-generating region during the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to the increasing demand for convenience food and high-protein animal meat products. Additionally, the region benefits from a strong distribution network, further supporting market growth.

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

The Asia-Pacific region is poised for significant growth, fueled 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 growth between 2020 and 2032.
