Key Processed Meat Market Driver in US

The increasing demand for convenience foods is one of the key factors driving the growth of the processed meat market in the US. Convenience foods are easy-to-cook and ready-to-eat products. With changing lifestyles and a rise in disposable income, the demand for these products has increased over time. The growth in e-commerce and the easy availability of food products at doorsteps also drive the demand for convenience foods. Vendors operating in the processed meat market are selling convenience food products such as nuggets, fresh sausages, hotdogs, platters, sandwiches, and salami. The manufacturers of processed meat are focusing on making it available in different forms, such as chilled, frozen, and canned. In addition, vendors operating in the processed meat market in the US are increasingly opting for joint ventures and partnerships with local meat manufacturers, distributors, and technology providers to increase the availability of processed meat among consumers. Therefore, the rising demand for convenience foods will increase the availability of processed meat products during the forecast period.

Key Processed Meat Market Trend in US

The growing emphasis on packaging innovations will fuel the processed meat market growth in the US. Vendors operating in the processed meat market in the US use innovative packaging to survive the competition in the market. Besides attracting consumers, innovative packaging helps in increasing the shelf life of products and makes them more durable. It retains the freshness of packaged food products, prevents discoloration, and provides microbial control. Currently, air-permeable packages are the most popular technology used for packaging processed meat. However, with a rise in technological advances in packaging, companies are increasingly focusing on innovative packaging technologies, such as MAP (modified atmosphere packaging), vacuum packaging, and vacuum skin packaging. For instance, Tyson Foods Inc. uses vacuum packing for various fresh and frozen meat products. These types of packaging maintain freshness and increase the shelf life of processed meat. Moreover, the increasing demand for such innovative packaging solutions may encourage more vendors to come up with new packaging solutions, which would attract consumers and expand the customer base. This is a major factor that will drive the growth of the processed meat market in the US during the forecast period.

Key Processed Meat Market Challenge in US

The Stringent regulation is a major challenge for the processed meat market growth in the US. Stringent regulations and guidelines implemented by various government bodies will negatively affect the growth of the market during the forecast period. The processed meat market is heavily regulated by strict standards laid down by various government bodies across the world. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responsible for inspecting the quality standards of meat products. Moreover, the regulatory body in each country ensures that the entire cold chain through which the food passes is under the strict scrutiny of quality check departments and the food is free from any contamination or adulteration. In the US, food manufacturers need to follow the guidelines laid down by the Food and Drug Administration. The Food and Drug Administration lays out the parameters for the certification of food products and is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety. Regulatory bodies such as the FDA also provide guidelines on freezing temperature, loading, unloading, and defrosting in case any product requires repacking.
