Meat processing refers to the process of converting raw meat into ready-to-eat (RTE) products for human consumption. It involves salting, curing, smoking and canning the meat for removing toxins and improving the overall reliability, facilitating easy cooking, enhancing the taste and texture, and increasing the shelf life of the meat. It is undertaken using different meat processing equipment depending on the requirement of the customers. Some of the widely available variants are ovens, fillers, dicers, cutters, chillers, grinders, roasters, blenders, smokers, fryers, dryers, mixers, feeders, tenderizers, separators, slicers, and homogenizers.
Rising safety concerns represent one of the key factors propelling the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing sales of convenient food products on account of rapid urbanization, hectic schedules and inflating income levels have positively influenced the demand for processed meat. This, coupled with the rising premiumization of meat products and increasing consumer access to organized retail stores like supermarkets, is strengthening the market growth. Moreover, leading players are considerably investing in innovation of processing technologies and coming up with fully automated meat processing equipment with an inbuilt sensor system to retain a competitive edge in the industry. They are also engaging in strategic acquisitions and partnerships for expanding their production volume and widening their distribution network. Apart from this, the consistent dominance of meat-based culture in numerous countries, along with the increase in trade flow of meat, is also catalyzing the demand. The rising health consciousness among individuals due to the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases and consequently escalating demand for protein-rich food products is projected to fuel the market growth.
