Meat Processing Equipment Market By Technology Advancements & Business Outlook

The meat processing equipment market size is projected to grow from USD 6.8 billion in 2019 to USD 9.7 billion by 2026, recording a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% during the forecast period. Meat processing equipment is used to convert raw meat into the required finished meat product commercially through processes such as cutting, slicing, washing, blending, mixing, grinding, drying, thermal processes, freezing, coating, and cooling. The demand for meat processing equipment is increasing with the growth of the food and meat industry, owing to the increasing consumption of convenient meat products such as raw cooked meat, precooked meat, baked meat, dried meat, and other processed meat products.

The grinding equipment segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2019 in the market.

The grinding equipment segment, by type, is estimated to dominate the meat processing equipment market, by type, in terms of value, in 2019. The primary use of grinding equipment is to grind the large pieces of tenderized meat into smaller pieces. Some of the common grinders are used to separate bone pieces and connective tissues, such as tendons, from the muscle meat. The greater application of grinders for processing a wide range of products, such as minced meat, sausages, hamburgers, and other products, is driving the market for grinding equipment
