Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the market volume for sausages and similar meat products in Finland declined steadily. In 2018, consumer habits were shifting, with pork consumption peaking and poultry demand growing, yet overall market size began to contract. The following years saw continued reduction, with a notable drop in 2021 when volume fell to 81 530 t.

The downward trend persisted in 2022 as heightened consumer focus on quality and sustainability, alongside rising interest in plant-based and hybrid protein products, reduced sales of traditional sausages and deli meats. A temporary rebound occurred in 2023, driven by recovered poultry production and a shift toward more affordable product groups. However, in 2024, market volume dipped again due to falling meat prices, particularly for beef, weak demand, and high frozen stocks that slowed production adjustments.
