Processed Meat Market Dynamics:

The expansion of the Processed Meat industry is being driven by an increase in the E-Commerce sector as well as an increase in various channels:

 

More consumers are ordering groceries and other food products through smartphone applications, indicating that e-Commerce is gaining popularity around the world. Multiple e-Commerce platforms throughout the world are developing their food brands to compete for market share. Due to strong growth in processed beef consumption, which will be bolstered by consistent demand for processed meat, e-Commerce sales of meat patties are likely to take up shortly which is fuelling the growth of the Processed Meat market.

 

When meat is preserved by smoking, salting, fermenting, or adding any chemical to lengthen its shelf life and improve its taste, it is considered processed. Beef, hog, turkey, and lamb are some of the most frequent meats used to make processed meat. Pepperoni, jerky, hot dogs and sausages are examples of Processed Meat items. Meat is treated with preservatives to keep it from rotting owing to bacteria and other microorganisms.

 

Processed meat's carcinogenic effects are hindering the market's expansion:

 

Processed meats, such as ham, bacon, salami, and Frankfurt’s, have been characterised as a Group 1 carcinogen (known to cause cancer) by the World Health Organization, representing that there is a good indication that they cause cancer. Processed Meat ingestion increases the risk of bowel and stomach cancer. Consumption of too much meat gives cancer-causing substances that can be made from nitrites (N-nitroso compounds or NOCs). These compounds could be the major reason for hampering the growth of the Processed Meat market.

 

Consumer preference for flavoured meat products is providing a significant commercial potential:

 

Meat flavour is influenced by sensory perceptions of scent and taste. Odour has many different chemical components due to the creation of volatiles, whereas taste is sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and the savoury characteristic of meat umami. The packed meat products are seasoned with a variety of herbs, marinades, seasonings, and spices to give them an umami flavour and texture. Due to changing customer tastes, the meat flavour trend is expanding to include meat processing methods such as glazing and braising. The processed meat market has a significant growth opportunity as a result of these taste preferences.

 

Environmental issues and a variety of chronic diseases are posing significant challenges to the Processed Meat diligence:

 

The production of meat has three major environmental concerns: feed sourcing, manure processing, and climate change. Meat production necessitates a large amount of feed. Millions of acres have been ploughed down to make way for enormous monoculture crop fields devoted to cattle feeding. High blood pressure, hypertension, heart disease Bowel or stomach cancer are the major chronic diseases associated with the consumption of meat products, which is a major challenging factor for the processed meat market.

Because frozen packing beef is readily available and may be utilised for food preparation without further processing, the younger population prefers it. Thus this segment is witnessing constant growth.

 

However, The Chilled segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% through the forecast period.
