Meat Processing Equipment Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

The process of transforming raw meat into items that are ready to eat (RTE) for human consumption is referred to as meat processing. It entails salting, curing, smoking, and canning the meat to remove contaminants and improve overall reliability. This also makes cooking easier, improves the flavor and texture, and extends the meat's shelf life. It uses various meat processing tools depending on the client's needs. Ovens, fillers, dicers, cutters, chillers, grinders, roasters, blenders, smokers, fryers, dryers, mixers, feeders, tenderizers, separators, slicers, and homogenizers are a few of the often used variations.

Global Meat Processing Equipment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing consumption of processed meat

The market for meat processing equipment is anticipated to develop due to the rise in processed meat consumption. Aside from having a better flavor, processed meat also has a lower risk of meat-borne illnesses, a longer shelf life, and a high level of portability. For instance, processed foods make up around 70% of the American diet, according to research by Standard Process Inc., a US-based food supplement firm, published in 2020. Additionally, according to the agricultural and processed food export development authority, India exported 774.11 megatonnes (MT) of processed meat worth $1.62 million during the fiscal years 2020–21. As a result, the market for processed meat is expanding as processed meat consumption rises.

• Surging product launches by major market players

An important trend gaining traction in the meat processing equipment market is launching new products, which will likely propel the market growth. For instance, the German food business GEA introduced the PowerPak SKIN.50 thermoforming packaging machine in 2021 for slicing items, meat chops, sausages, fish, hard cheese, and premium seafood. It minimizes packaging waste by employing thin films and recyclable paperboard webs. It has an excellent shelf life, inhibits oxidation, retains fluids and marinades inside the box, and allows a clear view of the entire product.

Opportunities

• Ongoing growth in innovative technology

Animal protein, used to pulverize beef, pork, chicken, and shellfish, is mostly lean muscle and fat. Manufacturers use machinery with the strength and stability to cut through meat since fattier pieces of meat can be difficult to work with. Recently, major market players have innovated heavier-motored food processors to perform the work correctly. Using a meat grinder to grind meat is a great way to maintain the quality and freshness of the meat. It improves the flavor, tenderness, and freshness of cuisine prepared with fresh ground beef. Sausage-making equipment has recently gained popularity in nations like China. Therefore, ongoing growth in innovative technology will likely create lucrative market growth opportunities.

• Expansion of multinational hotel chains and restaurant

The growth and expansion of multinational hotel chains and restaurants will create immense market growth opportunities. For instance, the growth and expansion of multinational fast-food restaurants and supply chains such as McDonald's have augmented the demand for meat products because of the increasing demand for beef and chicken worldwide. As a result, it boosts market growth during the forecast period.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Inadequately skilled labor

One of the major restraints of the meat processing equipment market is the inadequately skilled labor. There is a lack of skilled labor and experienced personnel who can maintain and operate this equipment. This is anticipated to hinder the growth of the meat processing equipment market during the forecast period.

• High initial investments

Another major factor that restraints the market growth is the high initial investments in the meat processing equipment market. The equipment is costly and requires a high level of maintenance. This is anticipated to hinder the growth of the meat processing equipment market during the forecast period.
