Pork Meat Market Grow with a CAGR of 5.48% through 2029

The global pork meat market is experiencing steady growth, driven by rising consumer preference for processed pork products, and expanding production capacities in key pork-producing countries

According to TechSci Research report, “Pork Meat Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2029F”, the global Pork Meat market stood at USD 386.49 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow USD 530.36 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 5.48% during the forecast period. The global pork meat market plays a crucial role in the global food industry, driven by consumption patterns, production advancements, and regional market dynamics. Pork is one of the most consumed types of meat worldwide, with significant demand in regions such as Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. As the second most consumed meat globally, following poultry, pork has a notable presence in various cuisines, from traditional dishes in Europe and Asia to processed forms like sausages, bacon, and ham in Western countries.

A major factor driving the growth of the global pork meat market is the rising demand for protein-rich diets. With an increasing global population and the growing importance of protein in nutrition, pork remains a key source of high-quality protein. In emerging markets, particularly in Asia Pacific, as incomes rise and urbanization progresses, pork consumption is expanding rapidly. As these regions experience economic growth, the demand for meat, including pork, is expected to rise significantly, with the middle class in countries like China, Vietnam, and India demanding more animal-based protein.

However, the pork meat market faces significant challenges, notably fluctuating feed prices, disease outbreaks, and growing health concerns. Feed costs, which represent a substantial portion of production expenses, have experienced volatility due to global supply chain disruptions, adverse weather conditions, and geopolitical tensions. The rising prices of feed ingredients such as corn and soybean have impacted profitability for pork producers, potentially affecting the supply and prices of pork meat in the market. Additionally, diseases such as African Swine Fever (ASF) pose a considerable risk to the global pork industry. ASF outbreaks have devastated pork herds, particularly in Asia, and have led to supply shortages and price hikes. The spread of ASF has also prompted stricter regulatory measures and trade restrictions, further complicating market dynamics.
