Meat Processing Equipment Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

The global meat processing equipment market is valued at around $6.0 billion in 2020 and is likely to showcase a CAGR of ~5.5% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Meat processing equipment is a type of food processing equipment used to process meat to enhance its taste and shelf life. Rising investments in the automation of Meat Processing Equipment machinery in countries, such as Japan, India, the U.K., Germany, and the U.S., are likely to spur the demand for Meat Processing Equipment equipment.  For instance, in November 2019, Marel opened its new production center in Dongen, Netherlands, because the former location in Dongen no longer met contemporary standards. Therefore, the realization of the new product center was an initiative taken by the company to improve its efficiency.

World total meat exports reached 38.7 million tonnes, up 5.7 percent from 2019, albeit slower than the 7.4 percent growth registered in 2019. Asia’s imports expanded by 15.8 percent to over 22 million tones, accounting for 63 percent of global meat imports, principally driven by the continued ASF impacts on East Asia’s pig meat production. Induced by the deficit, meat imports by China rose by 57.6 percent, to 11.7 million tones, with pig and poultry meats rising the most.Furthermore, the increased meat production has been boosting the market for Meat Processing Equipment equipment. The total meat production is estimated at 337.2 million tones (in carcass weight equivalent) in 2020, like the previous year, as increased poultry and ovine meat outputs compensated for pig and bovine meat production contractions. In the pig meat sector, although African swine fever continued to adversely impact production in East Asia, mainly China, the Philippines and Viet Nam, the sector made a faster recovery than had been anticipated. Bovine meat output declines were widespread with reductions in all major geographical regions.

This is the key factor driving the market for precooked meat, which, in turn, boosts the precooked meat equipment market.

“Amongst meat, processed pork is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the analyzed period”

Further based on meat, the market is divided into processed beef, processed pork, processed mutton, and other. In 2020, processed pork accounted for a maximum revenue share and is expected to remain dominant during the analyzed period owing to its easy availability. The primary reason for the high demand for pork, despite the religious restriction on its consumption in various parts of the world, is that pork is free of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or mad cow disease, which lowers the protein quality in the meat.

“Amongst type, grinding equipment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the analyzed period”

Further type on product, the market is fragmented into cutting equipment, blending equipment, tenderizing equipment, filling equipment, slicing equipment, grinding equipment, smoking equipment, massaging equipment, and other. In 2020, grinding equipment accounted for a maximum market revenue share and is expected to remain dominant during the analyzed period owing to the increasing consumption of meat products has also been boosting the demand for Meat Processing Equipment in the food industry. For instance, Americans consume an average of 2.4 burgers per day according to the USDA, which is about 50 billion burgers per year.
