Meat, Poultry and Seafood

The global meat, poultry and seafood market is expected to grow from $1389.58 billion in 2020 to $1442.42 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. Due to increased demand for meat, poultry and seafood products, the industry is projected to expand significantly during the projected era. The demand for meat, poultry and marine products comprises meat, poultry and marine products sales by entities (organizations, single traders and partnerships) that manufacture and process meat, poultry and marine products. Facilities involved in the slaughtering and processing of animals, poultry and seafood processing and packaging are included in the beef, poultry and maritime industry. Industry companies’ package and distribute their products to individual clients and commercial enterprises through various distribution channels.

The world’s population is rising at 10 billion by 2050. Population growth generates more food demand. The global cereal production is expected to grow by 13 percent by 2027, according to the OECD and FAO Agricultural Perspectives. Crop production, agricultural activities and volumes of trade would have to rise to meet the growing population. Thus, the increasing demand for meat, poultry, and meat products due to growing population will be expected to support companies in this market during the forecast period.

The outbreak of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which caused trade restrictions, and a decrease in consumption due to lock downs imposed by governments globally, has served as a major restriction on the livestock, poultry and maritime industry by 2020. COVID 19 is a flu-like infectious disease, including fever, cough and breathing difficulties. The virus was first detected in 2019 and spread worldwide including Western, North American and Asia in Wuhan, Hubei Province of the People’s Republic of China. The manufacturers of food and drinks depend on domestic and foreign suppliers to supply raw materials. Since several nations and countries limited the flow of products, factories have had to stop production because of the lack of raw materials. The trade controls on non-essential products and the concern of manufacturing facilities for contamination have led to the decrease. It is estimated that the epidemic will continue to negatively affect companies during 2020 and 2021. However, the demand for meat, poultry and maritime products is expected to rebound from the shock over the forecast period, as it is a ‘black swan’ phenomenon that is unrelated to ongoing and basic market or economic deficiencies.

To maximize returns, poultry processing companies increasingly use 3D imaging systems. In 3D imaging systems poultry bird models are used to assess the cut location with sensors and actuators. The bird is positioned under a visual system that tests and defines images and geometry. The amount of meat and bone present in birds is determined by near-infrared sensors. Vision analysis allows the machine to optimally cut each bird irrespective of size and shape. It is a data-driven process that maximizes production and reduces poultry meat processing costs per plant.
