The global pork market is expected to grow to US$ 418.37 billion by 2028, driven by its popularity as the most widely consumed meat and its accessibility due to being a cheaper source of protein. However, the market faces challenges due to increasing veganism and animal cruelty laws. The growth is attributed to changes in food consumption habits, the expansion of the retail market, and the ease of purchasing packaged pork. The market is also expected to grow due to the demand for organic and clean label products. China, Europe, and the United States are the leading consumers of pork, with China producing over half of the world's pig population. Asia is the largest consumer of pork, with Japan, mainland China, Mexico, Italy, and South Korea being the top five markets for imported pork.
