Grass-fed Beef Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
New product launches influencing grass-fed beef consumption are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the premium price of grass-fed beef may impede the market growth. Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a decrease in demand for the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Grass-fed Beef Market Driver
New product launches influencing grass-fed beef consumption are the key factor driving the global grass-fed beef market growth. Successful product launches aid the growth of the players and the market by increasing the revenue flow of a company and expanding its consumer base. These activities also help market players gain higher market shares and offer them a competitive edge over their competitors.
For instance, in April 2021, Teys USA, a joint venture between Cargill and Teys Australia, launched a new line of fully cooked grass-fed beef products, including Smokehouse Chipotle Beef Brisket, Garlic Herb Mediterranean-Style Beef, Beef Barbacoa, and Beef Chimichurri. Such developments are expected to promote the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Grass-fed Beef Market Trends
The introduction of new packaging will fuel the global grass-fed beef market growth. The introduction of new and innovative packaging for grass-fed beef products can influence the growth of the market during the forecast period. Attractive packaging and designs will attract the attention of consumers and increase product visibility. Hence, players are introducing new packaging designs for their products.
In December 2020, Amcor launched new packaging for fresh and processed meat named Eco-Tite, which is recyclable and shrink-free. Such innovations and developments in packaging are likely to influence the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period positively.
Key Grass-fed Beef Market Challenge
The premium price of grass-fed beef is a major challenge to the global grass-fed beef market growth. The premium price of grass-fed beef is one of the primary challenges for the market. Grass-fed beef is estimated to be almost 70% more costly than grain-fed beef. This premium price discourages price-sensitive consumers and can affect the growth of the market during the forecast period. The supply chain for grass-fed beef is also different from conventional beef, which can lead to a rise in the cost of production of grass-fed beef.
For instance, processing facilities for conventional beef can handle about 5,000 animals per day, while processing facilities for grass-fed beef may process only a few animals per day. The supply chain of grass-fed beef is longer and involves more investments than conventional beef, which increases the price of the final product. Moreover, most slaughterhouses do not have the right kind of facilities to handle grass-fed beef, which can also lead to a decline in revenue in the market during the forecast period.
