Report Code: FBR 45025 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Frozen Meat Market Overview

The frozen Meat Market size is estimated to reach $31.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Moisture is converted into the ice with the help of individual quick-freezing techniques. The core aim behind this process is to elongate the shelf life of meat through decelerating rate of decomposition. Cryogenic and mechanical freezing are two main categories of freezing technologies; however cryogenic freezing is the fastest freezing technique as it makes use of liquid nitrogen with a temperature lower than -190 degrees Celsius. However, owing to its extortionate nature, its use is restricted to seafood, fish fillets, and fruit only. The lamb, seafood, poultry, beef, and pork are most commonly frozen because of high demand. Consequently, vapor compression refrigeration technology (mechanical freezing) is used extensively to freeze a wide variety of products. Besides, Air-blast freezing, individual quick freezing, and Contact freezing are some other processes formulated to accomplish quicker heat transfer between meat and refrigerant. Accelerating demand for frozen meat, expanding proactiveness among consumers regarding their health, soaring disposable incomes, ameliorating network of modern retail outlets in developing countries, rapid urbanization, and health benefits allied with meat consumption are factors set to drive the growth of the Frozen Meat Market for the period 2022-2027.

Frozen Meat Market Segment Analysis - By Meat Type

The Frozen Meat Market based on the meat type can be further segmented into Lamb, Poultry (Chicken, Turkey, and Others), Pork, Beef, and Seafood (Mollusks, Crustaceans, Shellfish, Fish (Tuna, Salmon, Shrimps, Tilapia, and Others)). The poultry segment held the largest share in 2021. The growth is owing to mammoth consumption across the globe because of its cost-effective and enticing nature. According to a report published in 2021 chicken was the most consumed and desired meat form globally with a consumption of over 116 million tons. In addition to that, poultry players have adopted effective techniques like the addition of feed additives (antioxidants, enzymes, and other trace elements) aimed at enhancing overall meat yield and quality. Furthermore, poultry is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period 2022-2027. With people turning more health-conscious, overall demand for protein-rich foods because of an unprecedented upsurge in serious health ailments. Additionally, the expansion of foodservice retailers like McDonald's has their fair share in transmuting the use of chicken by offering products such as deep-fried and battered Chicken McNuggets

Frozen Meat Market Segment Analysis - By Distribution Channel

The Frozen Meat Market based on distribution channels can be further segmented into offline (supermarket/hypermarket, convenience stores, and others) and online platforms. The offline segment held the largest share in 2021. The growth is owing to a wide-ranging presence. As of 2022, more than 43 percent of the total global population is still residing in rural areas. Let alone 24/7 internet and better connectivity, the majority of them especially in South America, Africa, and Asia don’t even have proper access to clean water. Consequently, a major chunk of the rural population is still an untapped resource for e-commerce platforms. Offline channels extend several conveniences like alluring discounts, bargaining options, instant purchase, easy returns, and several more. Also, owing to their emerging presence, supermarkets have become a primary shopping source for busy and bulk buyers. Nevertheless, the offline segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period 2022-2027. The growth is owing to the imperfect or inadequate presence of grocery-centered e-commerce services across the globe except for a few developed countries like the US, Canada, and Others.

Frozen Meat Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

The Frozen Meat Market based on Geography can be further segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. North America held the largest share with 36% of the overall market in 2021. The growth in this segment is owing to the factors such as humungous consumption of meat. Countries like Cuba are deemed to be the worst choice for vegetarians. According to a report, every year Americans consume nearly 274 pounds of meat (without seafood). Hamburgers (meat sliced and pressed) and sausages are the primary food in America which is live proof of the staggering meat consumption in the country. In addition to that, high disposable incomes, a full-fledged retail network, and a growing burden of chronic illnesses (cancer and cardiovascular maladies) because of ultra-modern lifestyles and sedentary habits have aided the market in the said region. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period 2022-2027. This growth is owing to soaring meat production and consumption (especially seafood) in countries like China, Japan, Australia, and Indonesia. China’s seafood production in 2021 hovered at 65.7 million metric tons; moreover, the country has set a target to enlarge production up to 69 million metric tons by the year 2025. Additionally, growing arthritis complications as a major chunk of the Chinese and Japanese population is turning old. Also, growing economic prosperity and rising living standards of people have propelled the market growth.

Japan’s per capita fish consumption was recorded as over 22 kg in 2021; whereas, poultry consumption in India reached over 4 million metric tons.

In addition to that, the growing economic prosperity of developing countries is resulting in enhanced purchasing power which in turn is fueling the market growth.
