Key Market TrendsOn-Trade is the largest segment by Distribution Channel.

• Sales of processed pork meat are primarily made through the on-trade channel, which is the major market segment. It registered a growth of 12.32% by value from 2016 to 2021. Pork is particularly popular in the foodservice sector, used in bacon burgers and fast food breakfasts.

Foreign demand for pork is also increasing, especially in markets such as Mexico, China, the United States, and Japan.

Key players such as JBS SA, Tyson Foods, Conagra Brands Incorporated, WH Group Limited, and Hormel Foods Corporation are focusing on product innovation and expansion through various retail channels, such as supermarkets and online stores. The growing working population is changing consumer food habits and spending patterns, whereas busy lifestyles are increasing the demand for processed pork.

They are extensively engaging in promotional efforts, boosting the growth of the online grocery market.

Asia-Pacific is the largest segment by Region.

• The sales of processed pork meat worldwide are growing moderately. The overall growth of processed pork stood at 14.27% from 2016 to 2021. The increase in the population, growing at 0.83% across the world, and the spike in protein demand due to increased health consciousness are fueling processed pork demand across the world.
