Processed meat is prepared by converting meat or byproducts as blood through fermentation, salting, smoking, curing, and other processes to extend its shelf-life and enhance the taste. One of the main drivers of the market's growth is the escalating safety concerns. Additionally, the demand for processed meat has been positively impacted by the rising sales of convenient food items as a result of rapid urbanization, hectic schedules, and rising income levels. This is boosting market expansion along with expanding premiumization of beef products and rising customer access to organized retail shops like supermarkets.
To maintain a competitive edge in the market, top players are also heavily investing in new processing technologies and developing fully automated meat processing equipment with an integrated sensor system. They are also forming strategic alliances and acquisitions to increase their manufacturing capacity and their distribution network. Thus, above factors are likely to bolsters the growth of the meat processing equipment market during forecast period.
The meat processing equipment industry is expected to grow throughout the forecast period as a result of rising investments in meat processing equipment and technological advancements in this sector. The demand for meat processing equipment is anticipated to be driven by strict laws surrounding the sale, trade, and transportation of meat under controlled circumstances to prevent spoilage and maintain adequate nutritious levels. High R&D spending has resulted in the development of new technologies, such as the integration as one machine of equipment used for slicing, blending, and grinding in order to save transfer costs and uphold hygienic standards.
Capital-intensive machinery is needed for meat processing. To satisfy the precise requirements of the processing sector, every piece of equipment utilized in the meat business is highly specialized. A single machine will not be sufficient for the complete meat processing process due to industry requirements; rather, many machines and pieces of equipment are needed for each stage, which necessitates large capital investments. The equipment can only be utilized for the reasons it is intended for and has a low resale value due to its high degree of modification. It is also essential to maintain the equipment to ensure optimum operation and avoid contaminating the food.
The aforementioned factors make mechanizing a meat processing facility expensive. Since the majority of equipment producers are based in North America and Europe and export their products to developing markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, the cost of logistics is also significant. This above factors are likely to restrain the growth of the meat processing equipment market during forecast period.

Executive Summary
According to a new report titled, 'Meat Processing Equipment Market by Type, Meat Type, and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2018 - 2025,' the meat processing equipment market was valued at $10,968 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $18,817 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2018 to 2025. North America is one of the prominent consumers of meat processing equipment, accounting for more than 36.3% of the total market in 2017.Meat is either consumed as a processed meat product or as a component of kitchen-style food preparations. Processed meat is a meat that is modified to improve its taste and shelf life. Processed meat products, although in some regions still in their infancy, are globally gaining ground in popularity and consumption volume. The demand for processed meat is expected to increase due to surge in consumer demand for food products with multifunctional nutrition benefits. Therefore, meat processing equipment are designed based on the specific end-use requirements. In addition, automated food processing equipment has experienced an increase in demand due to increasing focus on production efficiency and cost reduction.
Factors that drive the growth of the global meat processing equipment market are change in lifestyle of people and varied consumer trends toward use of ready-to-eat food products. Moreover, the food & beverage processing industry has influenced the meat processing equipment market to a large extent. In addition, growth in demand for meat and poultry processing and safety regulations in the processing industry are expected to fuel the demand for meat processing equipment in the near future. Moreover, the demand for processed meat is expected to rise in emerging markets such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa, providing lucrative growth opportunities for the meat processing equipment market. However, increase in cost of raw materials is expected to hamper the growth of the global market in the near future.
In 2017, the cutting equipment segment accounted for major share in the global market. Cutting is often the first operation to be employed in meat processing to separate essential meat & fat portions of the carcass from the non-essential ones. Cutting is often carried out under vacuum conditions to reduce disintegration of the protein content, which allows greater volume of filling in sausages and patties. The cutting equipment segment is expected to maintain its dominance and grow at highest CAGR in the global meat processing equipment market during the forecast period, as it is the most common processing equipment used in the food industry.
Pork is edible meat obtained from the domestic pig and is the most common type of meat consumed worldwide. It is highly prized in various Asian cuisines for its high-fat content and pleasant texture. Pork processing can be divided into three broad stages- slaughtering, cutting, and further processing. Cutting is a size reduction operation in which meat is separated from the carcass and cut into smaller portions. It may then be preserved, sold in portions, or sent for further processing. The processed pork segment accounted for the significant share in North America and Europe. The processed pork and processed beef segments cumulatively dominated the global market with more than three-fifths share, in terms of volume, in 2017, owing to increase in consumption of pork and beef in these regions as they are rich in vitamins, iron, phosphorus, and other minerals.
Fresh processed meat comprises meat mixes composed of finely comminuted, minced, or sliced muscle meat with variable fat content. The characteristic of this group is that all meat and non-meat ingredients are added raw without any prior heat treatment. The fresh processed meat segment accounted for the significant share in the global meat processing equipment market. The fresh processed meat and raw cooked meat segments cumulatively dominated the global market with 44.4% share, in 2017, owing to its applications such as sausages, burger patties, and kebabs.
