The global beef market was valued at $445.1 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $625.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2023 to 2032. Beef is a flesh that is obtained from mature cattle. It is a red-colored meat that includes various essential nutrients such as protein, zinc, selenium, and iron. Beef with the presence of high soft intramuscular fat is considered of premium quality as it improves the flavor of the meat. In the initial production process, beef is first divided into further subsections that are usually referred to as cuts. These cuts are named differently worldwide such as sirloin, brisket, and shank.
The beef market encompasses the production, distribution, and sale of beef products derived from cattle. It is a significant component of the global food industry, driven by factors such as population growth, dietary preferences, income levels, and cultural traditions. The market offers various beef cuts, processed items, and value-added products to consumers, with supply chains often influenced by trade agreements, sustainability concerns, and changing consumer demands.
Certified beef surges the beef market by assuring consumers of specific quality standards, safety, and ethical practices. Certification programs verify attributes like organic production, humane animal treatment, or sustainability. This builds consumer trust, attracts health-conscious and environmentally aware customers, and opens doors to niche markets. Certified beef responds to evolving consumer preferences and promotes industry transparency, driving increased demand and market growth. Moreover, Organic beef has surged in popularity, driving growth in the beef market. Consumers are increasingly prioritizing health and sustainability, leading to a heightened demand for organic, grass-fed, and pasture-raised beef. Organic beef meets these criteria, offering a healthier and environment-friendly option. With a focus on animal welfare, no synthetic hormones or antibiotics, and adherence to organic farming practices, organic beef appeals to health-conscious and eco-conscious consumers, leading to an expansion of the organic beef segment and thus, the overall market growth.
Advanced technology is revolutionizing the beef market by enhancing efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Precision agriculture tools, such as GPS-guided equipment and data analytics, optimize cattle farming practices. Blockchain technology improves traceability, ensuring food safety. In addition, innovations in meat processing, like automation and robotics, boost production speed and quality. These technological advancements reduce costs, minimize waste, and meet the increasing global demand for high-quality beef products, propelling market growth. A healthy diet that packs essential proteins and nutrition is becoming a preferred choice among consumers.
The increase in veganism is a significant restraint for the beef market as more consumers opt for plant-based diets while reducing beef consumption. Veganism aligns with environmental, health, and ethical concerns, prompting a shift away from meat products. This trend has led to the development and popularity of alternative protein sources, such as plant-based meat substitutes, which directly compete with traditional beef products, impacting the market’s growth potential. Moreover, an increase in beef prices can significantly restrain the beef market by deterring consumers due to higher costs. This can lead to a shift toward more affordable protein sources, thus impacting the overall beef demand. In addition, higher prices may squeeze profit margins for food service providers and retailers, potentially reducing their willingness to carry beef products, and further limiting market growth.
Organic beef surges the beef market by meeting the growing demand for sustainable and health-conscious food options. Produced without synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, or hormones, organic beef appeals to consumers seeking environmentally friendly and ethically raised meat. It aligns with trends favoring organic and natural products, expanding market opportunities, and catering to a niche but increasingly influential segment of health and eco-conscious consumers. In addition, meat consumers in China are shifting from pork to protein sources like beef. Increasing per capita income is another factor that is expected to elevate meat consumption. Various companies have launched new beef products including the Aberdeen Angus range by Sainsbury’s, which is 25% low in carbon footprint. This product launch was the strategy adopted by the company to strengthen its market position in the UK as there are very few companies that provide this level of sustainable product.
