According to FMI’s research, the North America fresh meat packaging market is anticipated to achieve a value of USD 724.4 million in 2023, with a projected growth to USD 1,070.9 million by 2033, showing a promising compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4% between 2023 and 2033.

The United States of America remains the unrivaled leader in the fresh meat packaging market, accounting for an impressive 92.6% regional market share in 2022. This dominance is set to continue, with the market projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.8% from 2023 to 2033, commanding over 93% market share by the end of 2023.

The key driver of this growth is the escalating consumption of meat products, with a particular emphasis on pork, poultry, and beef. As the population urbanizes and living standards improve, there’s a significant uptick in the demand for animal products. Additionally, the United States benefits from advanced processing infrastructure and robust exports of beef and poultry.

Consumers in the region are increasingly cognizant of food safety and hygiene, which further fuels the demand for packaging solutions that preserve the freshness and quality of meat while preventing contamination. The surge in e-commerce activities has given rise to a need for tamper-proof, durable, and resilient packaging solutions, particularly for fresh meat, driven by the desire to ensure product integrity during shipping and handling.

The United States is at the forefront of these trends, making it a hotbed for fresh meat packaging solutions that cater to the evolving needs of the meat industry and consumers alike.
