Global beef market size was USD 300.6 billion in 2017, and is expected to grow at 3.1% between 2017-2025. The market is driven by the increasing population and rising disposable income. Beef has also become a major source of protein. Beef is the second most popular meat in the world, after pork. Due to a variety of environmental and political factors, there is a large supply-demand gap on the market.
Beef and veal (meat derived from calves), have the highest levels of protein. This will increase their demand as a major source of protein. The highest protein content is found in veal, at 33.9% per 100gm of cooked meat. This is more than any other meat. On the other hand, pork has a protein content at 29.3%, while chicken has 28.9% for 100 gm. China is a major market due to rising disposable income and increasing meat demand. China has seen a double-digit increase in disposable income, and this trend is likely to continue over the next few years. The country's improved living standards have led to a shift in meat preferences. Most people prefer beef-based products over products made from chicken and pork.
Market growth will be driven by rising urbanization and the growing need to feed the world's population. Consumers are turning to beef and related products due to the rapid spread of disease in the poultry and pork markets. The market is expected to grow because of the increasing demand for special cuts, such as kosher or halal beef.
The market will be affected by higher beef prices than other forms. Beef prices were more than 61% higher in 2016 than other protein sources like pork and poultry. This led to a decrease in demand, especially in economically disadvantaged countries. In the future, an imbalanced supply of cattle could lead to an increase in cattle prices.
In 2017, halal and kosher slaughter methods made up 14.8% and 18.7% of the revenue, respectively. Both halal and kosher meat are mainly consumed by the Jewish and Islamic populations. Over 80.0% of global Jewish population is located in North America, Europe, Israel, and Israel. Because of its significant benefits, North American consumers prefer kosher beef because it is safer, more delicious, and better quality.
The halal segment is primarily driven by the growing Islamic population. Because Islam bans pork consumption, beef has become a preferred meat choice in these countries. The Middle East and African countries have a higher demand, given their population.
The beef market can be divided by cut into brisket (loin), shank (shank), and other segments. Brisket is meat that is around the breastbone. It is also the chest or pectoral muscles of the animal. This is one of the primary cuts. It is a thick, coarse-grained meat that requires a long time to cook and a low temperature to break down. It is one the most flavorful cuts and can be used to make corned beef and pot roast. You can slow-cook it in a barbecue or smoker.
In terms of revenue, the shank segment will see a 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period. The shank is found in the animal's forearms, just before the brisket. Because the meat is lean and can be used to make low-fat ground cattle, it is also widely used. Round, ribs and chuck are the other categories. They accounted for more than 70% of 2017's volume. In terms of revenue, the segment held the largest share.
North America was the largest market accounting for 30.4%. In 2017, the U.S. was the largest producer worldwide and will continue to be the dominant market due to rising demand for processed meats. The most popular cut in the region is the loin, which is available in all restaurants. Because of their low marbling score, grass-fed products are highly valued in this region.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that the U.S. was the largest consumer of beef in the sector as of 2017. After Uruguay, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, the United States is fifth in beef consumption per capita in the world. Over the forecast period, the U.S. will see an increase in Jewish and Islamic population. This is expected to drive up demand for kosher or halal-grade meats.
The Asia Pacific market will record a 4.0% CAGR in terms of revenue over the forecasting period. This is due to the growth of countries like China, Pakistan and Australia. The positive effect of the Chinese beef industry has been attributed to significant growth in disposable income and changing lifestyles.
Increasing imports of frozen beef will likely be supported by ongoing shortages in various consumer markets. Australia remains the largest supplier. India, which is one of the top exporters of frozen beef in 2017, is a major player in the market. It exported about 1,849 kilotons.
Due to the large number of multinational companies, the global market is extremely competitive. Market players are able to increase their production capacities by meeting increasing demand at both the global and regional levels. To expand their market reach and distribution channels, some of these players also use e-business platforms.
Tyson Foods, Inc., Cargill, Incorporated, Marfrig Global Foods S.A., NH Foods Ltd., NH Foods Ltd., St Helen's Meat Packers, Hormel Foods Corp., JBS USA, National Beef Packing Company, LLC, Vion Food Group, and Australian Agricultural Company Limited are all involved in beef processing.
