Market Executive Summary

REPORT HIGHLIGHT

The US meat & poultry product shipment totaled USD 203.8 billion in 2017, growing with 4.2% CAGR during the forecast period, 2018-2028

A steadily rising population and the dietary requirement for protein confer stability to the US market for meat and poultry products. Furthermore, beef and poultry are staples of ubiquitous fast food restaurants due to factors such as ease of preparation and low cost. US producers also benefited from a predominantly urbanized population and the fact that domestic market penetration by foreign firms is limited in most categories, owing to factors such as high costs of transporting these products and food safety concerns. At the same time, the US meat and poultry industry exerts its influence throughout the world, bolstered by abundant resources for raising animals and a reputation for quality among many international consumers.
