Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for salted, in brine, dried or smoked beef in Australia and New Zealand expanded from 347.5 tonnes in 2018 to 368.5 tonnes in 2020. This growth was supported by stronger global demand for protein-rich processed meats and technological advancements in meat processing, which boosted international production and consumption. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had a limited effect on the supply chain, with logistical adaptations ensuring continued market availability.

Market size reached 371.2 tonnes in 2021 as consumer preferences shifted towards convenient and healthier meat options. However, the market volume decreased to 345.8 tonnes in 2022 before recovering to 361.6 tonnes in 2023.
