Pakistan Food Coating Market | Growth, Share, Analysis, Trends, Value, Revenue, Forecast, Size, Companies & Industry: Market Forecast By Ingredient Type, By Application, By Form And Competitive Landscape

Pakistan food coating market experienced steady growth in recent years, led by the populous region Punjab, where Lahore recorded the highest number of establishments of registered hotels and restaurants- 7,640 in 2021. Although the market faced minor setbacks due to the floods between June and September 2022, which disrupted supply chains and agricultural production for few months across Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Punjab. However, it quickly rebounded post-floods, driven by increased production and consumption of processed foods.

Moreover, the poultry sector saw notable growth, with domestic production rising from 130,000 metric tons in FY20 to 135,000 metric tons in FY24, while commercial production surged from 1,500,000 metric tons to 2,227,000 metric tons during the same period. Additionally, the restaurant and hotel expanded from 4.0% in Q1 2023 to 4.7% in Q1 2024. These trends reflect an increasing shift towards convenience and ready-to-cook foods, which has steadily boosted the Pakistan food coating market in the previous years.

According to the research, the Pakistan Food Coating Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period of 2024-2030. Market is expected to experience growth due to the increasing urban population, rising red meat production, and expected decrease in inflation. The processed food and beverages sector remains a key component of the National Priority Sectors Export Strategy (NPSES), contributing to the implementation of Pakistan’s Strategic Trade Policy Framework (STPF) 2020-2025. Furthermore, the demand for packaged food in Pakistan is projected to reach $4.7 billion (PKR 1.31 trillion) by 2025, while inflation is expected to moderate to 11.1% by 2025.

By 2026, Pakistan's red meat production is estimated to reach 2,100 metric tons. Additionally, the overall population is projected to grow from 251 million in 2024 to 277 million by 2030, with the urban population increasing from 34% in 2024 to 41% in 2030. Moreover, rising government initiatives, such as Pakistan Export Strategy for Processed Food and Beverages (2023-2027) and Pakistan Export Strategy for Fruits and Vegetables (2023-2027) are expected to provide ample opportunities for the deployment of coatings in food products, supporting the growth food coating market of Pakistan in the years to come.
