Meat Snacks – Overview

Meat snacks are convenient meal items made from various raw meat ingredients. A range of meats, such as beef, pig, turkey, chicken, and game meats like deer, elk, and bison, can be used to make meat snacks. They have a high protein content without any carbohydrates. They are usually eaten as a quick and easy snack or by athletes, hikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts as a source of protein. Meat snacks are a popular choice for high-protein or low-carb diets since they are often rich in protein and low in carbs, giving them a healthier alternative to standard snack foods.

Growth Drivers

Rising Demand for High Protein Snacks

Meat snacks are gaining popularity as more people switch to high-protein diets and are looking for an easy-to-transport source of protein. Meat snacks are a popular option for low-carb or ketogenic diets since they are often low in carbs. Numerous meat snacks, like beef jerky, offer vital nutrients that are necessary for general growth, such as high protein, zinc, and iron concentrations. The changing lifestyle and increasing health consciousness among consumers owing to the rising prevalence of various diseases are anticipated to drive the demand for meat snacks over the forecast period.

Challenges

Increasing Adoption of Vegan Lifestyle

The rising concerns surrounding animal rights and conscious consumption among European consumers have led to a significant rise in the adoption of vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. Around 3.2% of the European population, or 2.6 million individuals, identify as vegans, as reported by The Vegan Society. As a result, the demand for meat products is declining at a substantial rate. Consumers are shifting towards plant-based meat, which is prompting industry players to launch products in the same category. This may limit the growth of Europe Meat Snacks Market over the forecast period.
