Across the globe people are becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of the food that they intake. Consumers are now more inclined towards selecting protein rich food especially those with increasing income in developing countries. Hence, the demand for meat is growing. With increasing incomes and busy schedules, convenience food is becoming popular among the working class. Consumers prefer ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook meat products with great quality and taste as their priority. Hence, processed meat is gaining popularity and its market is increasing worldwide. The global market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.3% from 2013 to 2018, reaching $799,051.2 million by 2018.

The market was worth $7,656.5 million in 2012, and by 2018 it is projected to be $11,495.3 million. This market is growing with a CAGR of 7.2% from 2013 to 2018. Leading companies are focusing on launching new products for expansion of the business in local as well as foreign markets.
