Meat Packaging Market Highlights 2020 – 2029
The meat packaging market is estimated to garner a hefty amount of revenue by growing at a moderate CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2021 – 2029. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing consumption of meat globally, mainly pork and beef, upgraded storage units for frozen foods, and the surging demand for flexible meat packaging. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States (FAO), the global meat consumption per capita is forecasted to rise up to 35.4 kg retail weight equivalent (r.w.e) by the end of 2027. Furthermore, rise in disposable income of the worldwide population is also predicted to fuel the growth of the market in the near future. Along with these, improvement in transportation services in the previous years is a significant factor projected to offer opportunities for market expansion.
The market is segmented by packaging technology into modified atmosphere, vacuum skin, and vacuum thermoformed, out of which, the modified atmosphere segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the meat packaging market and is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This can be accounted to the properties such as enhanced manufacturing capacity, longer shelf life, and improved freshness cycle of products packaged by this technique. Apart from these, modified atmosphere packaging also offers benefits to manufacturers owing to reduced production and labor costs, which in turn is estimated to drive growth to this market segment in the coming years. Additionally, based on material, the segment for plastic is assessed to grab the largest market share in 2021 and continue this trend over the forecast period as plastic films are capable of keeping meat and other perishable products fresh for longer periods.
