Organic Meat Products Global Market Report 2024

The organic meat products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.57 billion in 2023 to $17.71 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historical period can be ascribed to the expansion of health and wellness trends, the adoption of ethical and sustainable practices, the clean label movement, consumer apprehensions regarding conventional farming, and increased availability and accessibility.

The organic meat products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.43 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the persistent emphasis on health and nutrition, increasing environmental awareness, regulatory backing for organic farming, the expansion of organic farming practices, and the rise of plant-based alternatives. Major trends in the forecast period include health and wellness attributes, the influence of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels, the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices, the focus on customization and specialty cuts, as well as educational initiatives and heightened consumer awareness.

The increasing preference of consumers for organic products is expected to drive the demand for the organic meat products market. This shift is attributed to growing health concerns among consumers and increased awareness of the health benefits associated with consuming organic products. For example, in June 2022, as per the Organic Trade Association (OTA) Organic Industry Survey, consumers were predicted to revert to more stable, need-based shopping patterns in 2021. The organic sales surpassed $63 billion between 2020 and 2021, marking a $1.4 billion (2%) year-on-year increase. Therefore, the demand for organic food has become significant in recent years, and the rising interest in organic food is projected to boost the demand for the organic meat products market over the forecast period.

The increasing consumption of meat products is anticipated to drive the growth of the organic meat products market in the future. Meat products, which can be used as human food and are derived entirely or partially from the meat or other parts of an animal's carcass, are expected to benefit from the introduction of organic meat products, contributing to sustainable meat consumption and potentially addressing global hunger issues. Additionally, the upward trend in protein consumption has positively influenced the higher intake of meat products. For instance, in December 2021, according to a report from the United States Department of Agriculture, total per capita consumption of red meat and poultry was 224.1 pounds in 2020 and is projected to increase to 226.9 pounds by 2023. Furthermore, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predicts a 15% increase in global meat consumption by 2031 due to population growth, with protein availability from poultry, pork, beef, and sheep meat expected to increase by 16%, 17%, 8%, and 16%, respectively, by 2031. Therefore, the rising consumption of meat products will propel the organic meat products market.

The prices of organic meat products are relatively higher compared to conventional meat products, presenting a potential hindrance to market growth. The premium pricing reflects the increased costs associated with raising livestock in an organic system without the use of synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, or growth hormones. The organic meat production process is costlier, time-consuming, and requires more labor. Moreover, producers apply price premiums to "on-demand" products to gain an advantage. However, these price premiums may limit the affordability of organic food products, posing a challenge to the market's expansion.

Major players in the organic meat products market are introducing new innovative products to cater to consumer preferences for taste and healthy eating. For example, in May 2022, Aldi Suisse, a Switzerland-based retail trade company, unveiled a new organic brand called "retour aux sources." This dairy product is sourced from antibiotic-free animal husbandry practices, which include pasture and loose housing, along with species-appropriate concentrate-free feeding using meadow and pasture food.

Prominent companies in the meat extract sector are focusing on product innovations to introduce new methods and procedures for producing meat extract and expanding its applications. In June 2021, Essentia Protein Solutions, a US-based protein solutions company, developed C3307 Chicken Flavour, which boasts higher protein content, lower carbohydrates, and contains no added salt. This chicken flavor is designed for low-sodium applications requiring a robust chicken taste. C3307 enables developers to meet lower salt constraints while still delivering flavorful and full-bodied chicken profiles in their finished products.

In December 2021, Préval AG, a Canada-based agri-food company, completed the acquisition of the assets of J&G Foods for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Préval AG aims to expand its offerings of portioned meat protein products and distribute them to retail and food service clients. J&G Foods is a US-based provider of custom and organic meat.
