Mechanically Separated Meat Market Report Scope And Overview:

The Mechanically Separated Meat Market size was USD 242.4 million in 2022 and is expected to Reach USD 334.3 million by 2030 and grow at a CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period of 2023-2030. 

Mechanically separated meat (MSM) is a paste-like meat product made by passing pureed or ground beef, hog, mutton, turkey, or chicken through a sieve or similar device under high pressure to remove the edible flesh tissue from the bone. It is frequently referred to as white slime as an analogy to meat-additive pink slime and meat retrieved by modern meat recovery systems, which are both distinct processes.

Based on type, the market is segmented into poultry, beef, and pork. The poultry segment, which is presently valued at USD 145.9 Mn, is predicted to have a market value share of 62% in 2032. This is because mechanically separated poultry is less expensive to produce than beef and pork. Because of its perceived health benefits, poultry is becoming a more popular meat choice among consumers.

MARKET DYNAMICS

KEY DRIVERS

• Rising demand for value-added MSM products

MSM product is high in protein and other nutrients and low in fat content. Value-added MSM products are more enticing to consumers than standard MSM products, which are frequently utilized as filler additives. The shifting dietary patterns of consumers are driving the demand for value-added MSM products. Consumers are increasingly looking for quick and inexpensive dining options. MSM products with added value can be utilized to make a variety of easy and economical meals, such as burgers, meatballs, and sausages. MSM is used in several recipes in many ethnic cuisines, including Asian and Latin American cuisines. As these cuisines gain popularity, so does the demand for MSM products.

• Increasing demand for processed meats

RESTRAIN

• Stringent government regulations

MSM is frequently associated with food safety concerns. MSM can be contaminated with bone fragments and other foreign matter, which can endanger customers' health. Another reason for the stringent rules is that MSM is occasionally made from low-quality beef trimmings. This can result in MSM products with lesser nutritional value and greater fat and cholesterol levels. Some governments have set severe limitations on the manufacturing and usage of MSM. These requirements can make MSM manufacturers' operations complex and costlier.

OPPORTUNITY

• Market expansion of MSM in the application sector

MSM can be used to make strong and long-lasting adhesives and binders. These adhesives and binders have numerous industrial applications, including building, manufacturing, and packaging. MSM can be utilized to make moisturizing and anti-aging cosmetics and personal care products. Some sunscreens contain MSM to help protect the skin from damaging UV radiation. MSM is also being studied for its potential use in a variety of other industrial applications, including bioplastics, fire retardants, and metalworking lubricants. Furthermore, mechanically separated meat research and development activities boost growth during the projection period.

CHALLENGES

• Negative consumer perception of MSM

Some customers are concerned about MSM's safety and quality. They consider MSM to be a low-quality beef product manufactured from discarded scraps and trimmings. MSM is frequently used as a filler in processed meats. As a result, people may feel that MSM is a low-quality component that should not be consumed. Another consideration is that MSM is extracted mechanically from meat, bones, and other connective tissue. This method can occasionally produce meat contaminated with bone pieces and other extraneous materials. This could harm MSM's reputation even worse.

• Competition from other meat products

IMPACT OF RUSSIA UKRAINE WAR

The war between Russia and Ukraine had a substantial influence on the market for mechanically separated meat (MSM). Because Russia and Ukraine are key producers of MSM, the war has interrupted the worldwide supply chain. This disruption is anticipated to raise MSM pricing and reduce MSM product availability. According to a United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimate, Russia and Ukraine account for 28% of global pork exports and 16% of global poultry exports. According to the IMS, the Russia-Ukraine conflict might lower worldwide MSM production by 10%. 

IMPACT OF ONGOING RECESSION

The global mechanically separated meat (MSM) market has grown in importance as a result of the recession. Because MSM is a crucial ingredient in many processed meats, a decrease in demand for processed meats may result in a decrease in demand for MSM. In 2023, global MSM consumption is predicted to fall by 2.5%. This is due to a variety of issues such as decreased consumer expenditure, rising prices, and supply chain disruptions. MSM shipments from major producers such as the United States and Brazil are predicted to fall by 10% in 2023.
