Fresh meat requires highly advanced packaging solutions to maintain the color and quality of the meat product. Oxygen is essential for maintaining the freshness of meat and the most advanced and preferable technology for the packaging of meat products is thermoforming films as it is easy to open and also keeps the meat fresh for a longer time.
Market Dynamics
The fresh meat packaging market has witnessed significant growth in recent past years, owing to the growing demand for meat products such as pork, beef, poultry, and seafood across the world. Based on material type, the fresh meat packaging market is bifurcated into polyethylene, polypropylene, biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP), ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamide (PA), and others. Among these segments, polyethylene packaging is widely used in packaging for fresh meat products, due to the rising environmental concerns regarding the harmful effects of packaging wastes across the world. Moreover, growing awareness regarding global warming is fueling the demand for innovation and development of biodegradable and recyclable packaging materials such as bio-based polymers. These factors are estimated to boost the growth of the fresh meat packaging market during the forecast period.
Moreover, based on meat type, the fresh meat packaging market is segmented into beef, pork, poultry, seafood, and others. Among these segments, beef meat dominated the fresh meat packaging market in 2022, owing to the demand for beef meat across the world. According to the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. is a major producer of beef and poultry meat, producing around 20% of the total beef production in the world. This factor is estimated to drive the growth of the fresh meat packaging market in the coming years.
Furthermore, North America region dominated the global fresh meat products market in 2022, owing to the growing meat production in this region. According to the North American Meat Association, in 2017, approx. 52 Mn pounds of meat was produced in the U.S. As a result, this scenario is estimated to foster the growth of the fresh meat packaging market during the forecast timeframe.
