Context

Meat consumption is related to living standards, diet, livestock production and consumer prices, as well as macroeconomic uncertainty and shocks to GDP. Compared to other commodities, meat is characterised by high production costs and high output prices. Meat demand is associated with higher incomes and a shift - due to urbanisation - to food consumption changes that favour increased proteins from animal sources in diets. While the global meat industry provides food and a livelihood for billions of people, it also has significant environmental and health consequences for the planet.

This dataset was refreshed in 2018, with world meat projections up to 2026 are presented for beef and veal, pig, poultry, and sheep. Meat consumption is measured in thousand tonnes of carcass weight (except for poultry expressed as ready to cook weight) and in kilograms of retail weight per capita. Carcass weight to retail weight conversion factors are: 0.7 for beef and veal, 0.78 for pig meat, and 0.88 for both sheep meat and poultry meat. Excludes Iceland but includes all EU 28 member countries.

The poultry segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

The market, specifically in the poultry sector, is witnessing substantial growth due to the escalating global consumption of chicken meat. Poultry processors are under increasing pressure to optimize the use of the entire chicken carcass and minimize waste. Mechanically separated chicken meat (MSCM) is a crucial solution, extracting additional protein and meat from bones and cartilage that would otherwise be discarded. This not only boosts the efficiency of poultry processing but also advances industry sustainability. Advancements in meat separation technology are improving product quality and safety, making poultry products more desirable for manufacturers and consumers. These advancements include automated separation systems, which ensure consistent quality control metrics, and emulsion stability, which enhances the texture and taste of the final product.

Additionally, product yield optimization and nutritional value enhancement are key benefits, as MSCM can be used in various applications, from pet food to human consumption. Legal compliance standards and waste ma
