Global Fresh Processed Meat Products Market: Drivers & Restraints

The growing income of urbanised population has fuelled the demand in the global market for fresh processed meat products. Additionally, the busy urban life has resulted in consumers opting for convenient food that do not expend more time for cooking or preparation. The rising preference of consuming ready-to-eat meat is also considered as the key factor driving the growth of the global fresh processed meat products market. However, there are several factors restraining the growth of the fresh processed meat products market. The key restraints of the global market for fresh processed meat products include,

• Increasing obesity levels & unhealthy lifestyle

Consumption of processed food products triggers the upsurge of cholesterol and fat levels in the body, forcing the consumer to live an unhealthy lifestyle. Rising obesity levels are generating more awareness about the drawbacks of processed food consumption, thereby hampering the demand for fresh processed meat products.

• Growing number of meat-eaters

The mounting rise in the number of meat eating consumers has alarmed the manufacturers of fresh processed meat products. In order to meet the brimming demand, the process for retaining the freshness of the meat is hampered, which consequentially affects the impending demand.

• Demand for high-protein & fat-free meat

Fresh processed meat products are derived from preservation through curing, smoking, canning, drying or salting the raw meat. As a result, the processed meat holds high percent of fat and moderate levels of protein. Hence, the demand for fresh processed meat products is not prominent among a large segment of consumers who opt for high-protein and fatless meat products.

• Rising inclination towards Cancer & Heart Disease risks

The health consciousness among consumers is restraining the growth of the fresh processed meat products, owing to the high awareness of its disadvantages on the health. The high incidence rate of Cancer and cardiovascular disorders among consumers of fresh processed meat products is lowering the demand, and keeping the manufacturers reluctant about business expansion.
