Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Meat Extract Market

The food & beverages sector faced unexpected challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Government restrictions, such as lockdowns, production shutdowns, travel bans, and border restrictions, disrupted the global supply chains in 2020. Disruptions in manufacturing and raw material sourcing operations hampered the growth of the meat extract market. During the lockdown periods, restrictions on people’s movements outside their houses triggered panic-buying situations, which increased the sales of convenience products, including meat products, which benefited the meat extract market. However, production volumes of meat products decreased due to the shutdown of meat processing facilities. Moreover, many consumers switched to plant-based diets as they perceived vegan products to be healthier than animal-derived products, further hampered meat sales. However, in 2021, the government announced relaxation in various restrictions, including reopening manufacturing units with partial or full employee strength. These favorable conditions led meat extract market players to increase their production volumes to overcome the demand and supply gap. Therefore, considering all the aforementioned factors, the pandemic had a mixed impact on the meat extract market.

Over the forecast period, the increasing demand for clean label and organic meat extracts is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the meat extract market.

Type Insights

Based on type, the meat extract market is segmented into beef, pork, chicken, and others. The beef segment held the largest share in the market; however, the chicken segment is emerging as a prominent segment. Manufacturers increasingly use beef extract powder in food processing applications, including stuffing cubes, nuggets, stock powder, bouillon cubes, seasoning, coatings, soup powders, sauces, ready meals, snacks, and other liquid products.
