[Research Report] The meat snacks market size is expected to grow from US$ 12,169.01 million in 2022; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2028

Meat snacks are gaining immense traction among consumers as they are rich in protein, iron, creatine, and several vitamins. Moreover, they are available in a variety of sweet and savory flavor, which increases their demand among consumers. Currently, majority of the meat-based snacks available in the market are made with beef or pork. However, with increased health and wellness concerns, people are shifting toward leaner sources of animal protein. Beef, pork, and lamb consist of higher saturated fat content than chicken. Due to increasing prevalence of obesity and heart diseases, consumers are preferring low fat meat products. This factor is driving the demand for chicken-based meat snacks among consumers.

In 2021, North America held the largest share of the meat snacks market, whereas Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Poultry meat and pork are widely consumed meats across Asia Pacific. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, pork production in China increased to 35.9% in 2021 from previous year. Moreover, the poultry industry is growing rapidly in China, India, Japan, and other Asia Pacific countries, as the demand for poultry meat is increasing significantly. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the meat snacks market across Asia Pacific over the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Meat Snacks 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 snacks market during the initial months of the pandemic. However, the demand for frozen meat snacks increased amid this global crisis due to panic buying by consumers. Consumers in countries such as the US, Canada, Germany, and the UK dramatically shifted to a plant-based diet. According to research by The Vegan Society, one in every five British people reduced their meat consumption since the start of the pandemic. This factor hampered the demand for meat snacks. In 2021, the marketplace witnessed recovery, as the governments announced relaxation in previously imposed restrictions and permitted manufacturers to work at full capacities. Thus, increased production volumes and improved supply chain operations bolstered the growth of the meat snacks market. The pandemic had a mixed impact on the global meat snacks market.
