Global Market Customer Landscape
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.
Rising awareness of the high nutritional value of meat and poultry products is the key factor driving the global market growth. Growing awareness of the health benefits associated with meat and poultry products has increased their consumption among people. Meat and poultry products are good sources of nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, such as omega-3, which include docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). EPA and DHA help with weight management, cognitive function and prevent Alzheimer's disease. In addition, other minerals and nutrients found in meat and poultry products contribute to brain growth and development and are essential for reproductive health.
Due to several health benefits associated with meat and poultry products, demand for meat and meat products is expected to increase over the forecast period. In addition, global meat consumption per capita has increased at a steady rate over the past decade. According to data from the United States Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA FAS) in Bangkok, chicken production and consumption will increase by 2-3% by 2023. Hence, the growing demand for meat and poultry will drive the demand for slaughter equipment and thereby drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Increasing focus on automated slaughtering equipment will fuel the global market growth. Slaughter equipment manufacturers are leveraging new handling technologies to increase output and improve efficiency. Hygiene and safety are some of the important factors that must be considered when handling meat and poultry. Automation is one of the solutions to help improve hygiene and safety in meat and poultry processing. Also, with end-users focusing on reducing labor in their slaughterhouses and other meat processing facilities, the demand is increasing.
Marel offers automated equipment that includes automatic pelvic bone separation, cutting, and dissection. It is also equipped with a robot that ensures cutting accuracy and avoids manual errors that can occur during seafood processing. Similarly, BAYLE offers automated poultry-cutting solutions to meet end-user requirements. In addition, BAADER also provides automatic meat and poultry processing equipment. Thus, the increasing adoption with automated features will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Increasing adoption of a vegan diet can majorly impede the growth of the market. Consumers today have become more conscious of their food choices. Adopting a vegan diet eliminates the use of all animal products, such as leather and silk. This has become one of the major trends worldwide. Several campaigns by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on the negative impact of overconsumption of meat and poultry products on the environment are further encouraging people to adopt the vegan diet. In addition, people are adopting a vegan diet due to ethical concerns for animals and the environment, as well as to promote health.
Now, the vegan diet has become more of a lifestyle, a status symbol, and a philosophy than just a diet. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an animal rights organization, encourages people to adopt a vegan diet. Some campaigns, such as the annual Vegan campaign, encourage people to sign up and try veganism for a while and discuss different types of vegan food products and their recipes. Therefore, with the introduction of new expanded vegan product lines, demand for food products of animal origin, including processed meat, will decrease. This will have a negative impact on the growth of the target market during the forecast period.

The semi-automated slaughtering equipment segment will contribute a major share of the market. The semi-automated segment was valued at USD 5,171.67 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Semi-automatic equipment involves the use of machines combined with human assistance during the slaughter process. Semi-automatic slaughter machines use automation to help slaughterhouse workers perform repetitive or strenuous tasks, along with the flexibility and control that the operator offers. One of the primary uses of semi-automatic slaughter machine is to assist in the handling and movement of carcasses. The device can also be used to perform tasks such as skinning, evisceration and bone filtering. These machines can increase the efficiency of the entire process, eliminate variations in the slaughter process, reduce the number of operators required, and, most importantly, provide humane slaughtering conditions.

The demand for semi-automatic equipment is increasing due to growing concerns about animal welfare, occupational health, and safety issues in the meat processing industry. Semi-automatic harvesters can reduce the risk of worker injury and ergonomic problems arising from manual processes and handling. Additionally, they can provide precise meat cutting, which improves productivity and reduces waste. As the world's population continues to grow, the demand for meat products is increasing, which can only be met by adopting efficient and standard operating procedures at abattoirs. All these factors are driving the growth of the segment.
By application, the market growth in the swine segment will be significant over the forecast period. The demand for equipment in swine meat (pork) processing is increasing due to several factors, such as the growing demand for pork, the need for more efficient and humane processing methods, and advances in technology. Pork is one of the most widely consumed meats globally, and its consumption is projected to continue growing during the forecast period. One of the key drivers of the demand for swine slaughtering machines is the growing demand for pork globally. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, pork is the most widely eaten meat across the world (36%), followed by poultry (33%), beef (24%), and goat/sheep (5%) meat in 2022. Because pork is available in a variety of forms, is simple to preserve, and is a good source of protein, it typically ranks first among all the different types of meat that are consumed most frequently around the world.
The pork processing industry is now adopting highly efficient and advanced equipment that reduces stress on animals and reduces their suffering during the slaughtering process. The modernization of slaughterhouses has been driven by increased concerns about animal welfare, which promote the use of high-tech systems that ensure the comfort of the animals and reduce the negative impact on the environment. Advances in technology are also fueling the growth of the swine segment. Developments in motor and sensor technology have made it possible to automate the entire slaughtering process, making the whole process more efficient, accurate, and faster. Sophisticated machines like CO2 stunning systems and automated eviscerating systems use intelligent sensors and ML algorithms to manage the process at each stage, resulting in faster, more efficient, and consistent production. Thus, the demand for swine equipment is increasing, thereby driving the growth of the segment.
