A new report by Transparency Market Research forecasts the global meat processing equipment market to reach $2.9 billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. This market was valued at $1.9 billion in 2022.

According to the report, a confluence of factors are contributing to the predicted increase, including advanced automation technology, AI, robotics, and machine learning to combat the labor shortage and reduce production costs; a focus on sustainable and humane meat processing through automation; and the growing demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) and ready-to-cook meat products which require more processing. Also, the Asia-Pacific region is one of the fastest-growing markets for meat and meat processing equipment, driving the numbers up overall.
