The increasing demand for protein-rich food products and beverages is expected to drive the growth of the meat extract market in the future. Protein-rich foods are derived from both plants and animals, providing the body with all the essential amino acids it needs. Meat extract serves as a protein source in various processed meals, helping to reduce salt levels in these foods while enhancing their flavor and nutritional value. For example, a report published in September 2022 by the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), a US-based non-profit organization, noted that per capita dairy consumption rose by 12.4 pounds per person in 2022. On a milkfat basis, the average American's dairy consumption was 667 pounds in 2021. Notably, there was significant growth in specific dairy products, with American-type cheese increasing by 0.5 pounds, butter rising by 0.2 pounds, and yogurt contributing an additional 0.7 pounds. Therefore, the growing consumer demand for protein-rich food products and beverages is driving the expansion of the meat extract market.

The increase in meat consumption is anticipated to enhance the growth of the meat extract market in the future. Meat refers to the flesh of animals, primarily mammals and birds, that is consumed as food. It serves as a major source of protein in human diets and is available in various forms, including beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and game meats. As more individuals incorporate meat and meat-based products into their diets, the demand for flavor enhancers such as meat extracts also rises. Meat extracts are utilized to intensify and enhance the natural meaty flavors in a variety of dishes and processed foods. For instance, a report from the US Environmental Protection Agency, a US-based government agency, revealed in December 2023 that beef, lamb and mutton, and pork constituted approximately 26%, 0.12%, and 25% of the total meat produced in the United States in 2022. Additionally, chicken and turkey accounted for about 43% and 5% of total meat production in 2022, respectively. Therefore, the increase in meat consumption is driving the expansion of the meat extract market.

Chomps, a US-based meat snack company, introduced two new flavors, Taco Beef and Habanero Beef, in March 2023. Notably, the Habanero Beef stick stands out as the spiciest offering to date, delivering an intense fusion of flavor and heat through a blend of habanero peppers, red pepper, and coriander.
