Earlier Report Observations

The market for salted, brined, dried, or smoked pork in Israel contracted sharply from 190 t in 2018 to 88.7 t by 2023. This decline began with a steep drop in 2019 and continued through the period, influenced significantly by the entry of new technologies and startups in meat alternatives. Starting in 2020, Israeli companies introduced cultivated and plant-based meats, which diverted consumer interest and spending away from traditional pork products.

From 2022 onward, increased health awareness and government-led discussions on reducing salt intake further pressured demand for salted meat items. Although initially focused on poultry, the broader shift toward lower-sodium diets affected perceptions of all salted pork products. Concurrently, the artisanal charcuterie scene and restaurant offerings expanded, providing niche, high-quality options, but these developments did not offset the overall market shrinkage.

By 2023, the market stabilized near 88 t, with domestic production continuing to fall and minimal imports. The persistent competition from alternative proteins and health-conscious trends maintained the market at a reduced level compared to its earlier volume.
