The Global Ham Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2021-2028, reaching USD XX.X Billion in 2028. Air-dried hams are the most consumed type of ham worldwide, accounting for more than half of total sales volume in 2017. Fresh pork leg meat that has been cured with salt or other preservatives is called ham and this product finds application in both foodservice and retail segments globally.

Ham is a cured meat, typically made from pork. The word ham is derived from the Old High German “hamma” meaning ‘thigh’ or specifically, the hind leg of swine when used as food. The meat used to make ham is usually pork. Some hams are smoked, and their flavors vary from region to region depending on the type of wood that was used for smoking them. Hams can be made with wet or dry cure methods. Wet-cured hams use a brining process where saltwater is mixed with other ingredients like sugar, herbs, and spices. The meat is then packed in a container and covered with brine. It's usually soaked for about 12 days, during which time it's turned a few times. After that, it's hung to dry for several weeks.

On the basis of Type, the global ham market is segmented into Air Dried Hams, Smoked Hams.

Air Dried Hams:

Air Dried Hams are hams that have been dried by the wind and sun, as opposed to being smoked. They are typically made in countries where there is a lot of sun and wind, like Italy and Spain. Air Dried Hams tend to be less salty than smoked hams, and they have a more delicate flavor. Air-dried hams are prepared by smoking the ham at a low temperature for an extended period of time. The hams are then hung in a warm, dry place to allow them to air-dry. This process can take several weeks or even months. Air-dried hams tend to be saltier and drier than other types of ham.

Smoked Hams:

Smoked hams are ham that has been smoked by hanging it in a smokehouse, or smoke-curing it with wood smoke. The main types of smoked hams are country ham and city ham. Country ham is the type most often associated with smoking, and it is made from the hind leg of the pig. City ham is a smoked ham that is cured and then steamed. Smoked hams are a type of dry-cured ham. They tend to be very salty as part of the preservation process, which enhances their shelf life but can make them somewhat unpalatable for those who aren't used to eating high sodium foods.
