North America Processed Meat Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the North America Processed Meat Market according to our research experts:

Pork is the largest Type

The North American processed other meat segment includes lobsters, crabs, and oysters. It is projected to record the fastest revenue-based CAGR of 4.52% over the forecast period. With the increasing demand for quick-to-eat meals and the growing meat manufacturing industry, the market is projected to expand in the coming years. For instance, in Cuba, the on-trade channel records high sales of lobsters, as the channel offers a buy 1 get 1 scheme for lobster dishes. The increasing number of tourists, especially in Havana, is boosting the channel.
The processed beef segment held the largest revenue share of 65% in 2021, owing to the increasing consumption of processed beef meat, at 25.53 kg/capita, in the year. Over the forecast period, the market growth is likely to be driven by organic feed used by farmers. Increased consumer disposable income and the number of working professionals, which increased by 34% in 2021, may drive the market.
In 2020, processed items accounted for more than 63% of the total revenue of the meat market. Companies are innovating their products to gain consumers' interest. They are also expanding the supply of meat products in the market for items like sausages, salami, hot dogs, ham, bacon, and corned beef, which are frequently preserved to maintain quality.
In July 2021, the USDA announced its intent to invest USD 500 million in the American Rescue Plan funds to expand the capacities of processed meat and poultry. With this investment, the market is likely to observe a constant Y-o-Y growth rate of 2% during the forecast period. The USDA is also issuing new rules on "Product of the USA” labels, which may further drive the processed meat market.
