Additionally, rising demand from developing regions in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, along with the emergence of vegetarian sausage casings, is anticipated to create significant opportunities for market players. However, the preference for natural sausage casings over artificial ones is expected to hinder market growth to some extent.
Increase in Global Population and Meat Consumption Drives Market Growth
Global population growth, particularly urbanization, drives the demand for artificial casings. According to the UN DESA, the world population reached 7.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion by 2050, and 11.2 billion by 2100. The urban population accounted for 56.2% of the total global population in 2021, continuing to grow at a steady pace.
The rise in global population has led to increased meat and sausage consumption and production. OECD data shows that in 2020, the average American consumed 97.5 kilograms of meat, while the global average was 34.44 kilograms. By 2030, these numbers are expected to rise to 99.5 kilograms in the U.S. and 37.3 kilograms globally. Annual meat production is projected to grow from 218 million tonnes in 1997-1999 to 376 million tonnes by 2030. This growth directly impacts the demand for artificial casings, driving market expansion.
