Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2015 -- Pigs are among the many animals whose meat is regularly consumed by humans. Pig meat or pork has traditionally been gathered by allowing pigs to graze on restricted fields with provisions for shelter, much like the collection of grazing-based beef from cows. However, with increasing demand for and shortage of grazing space, pork production is switching to a more compact, industrial, and feed-based version. Minute aspects such as humidity and temperature control of shelters as well as macro factors such as high quality of food and medical facilities are taken care of to maximize production of high-quality pork.

Pork is among the most popular meats all over the world. It is the most consumed meat in East Asia, which also contains many of the highest pork producing countries in the world such as China, Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. It is also extremely popular in Europe and North America. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 109,000 metric tons of pork was consumed globally in 2013, and the global figure has exceeded 100,000 metric tons in every year since 2010.

Processed Pork Dominates Global Hog Production and Pork Market

Pork can be divided into two product categories: fresh meat and processed meat. Suckling pigs between the ages of two and six weeks are an example of fresh meat. This type of pork is roasted or fried in diners without any processing. The segment of processed pork can be subcategorized into bacon and ham, sausages, hot dogs, charcuterie, and canned meat.

Demand for processed meat, particularly sausages, hot dogs, and bacon and ham, is expected to grow massively in the coming years. Europe and North America, where processed pork is an irreplaceable part of the traditional meal, are the major drivers for the processed pork market. Bacon and eggs, the archetypical Western breakfast, is just the start of the Western world's obsession with pork. Ham, sausages, hot dogs, and other processed pork products such as salami and pepperoni are also extremely popular ingredients in Western snack items.

Demand for pork from East Asia encompasses both processed and fresh pork, since pork is eaten in a wider variety of ways in the Orient than in the Western world. However, the latter is expected to make up the majority of the demand from the global hog production and pork market in the coming years.

Religious Restrictions on Pork Stall Growth in Western Asia

Pigs are non-ruminating, even-toed ungulates, which leads to them being banned under Jewish and Islamic dietary laws. This has led to a minimal-to-nonexistent presence of the market in and around the Middle East, from Pakistan to Israel and North Africa. The significant presence of Islam in Sub-Saharan Africa also impedes the growth of the hog production and pork market in Africa. Other countries with a significant Muslim population, such as India, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, also lack major avenues for the pork market.

Although the Jewish restrictions on pork come from the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible), which Christianity also holds sacred, an overwhelming majority of Christian denominations allow consumption of pork. This has allowed the pork market to flourish in regions dominated by Christians such as Europe and the Americas.

Non-dietary Applications to Open Opportunities in Hog Production Market

The primary non-dietary trend with considerable influence over the hog production and pork market is the growing usage of pig heart valves in human heart valve implantation. The biocompatibility between the two organs gives this process a very high probability of being successful without any side effects. The increasing incidence of cardiac disorders in humans means that this trend is expected to strengthen in the coming years, boosting the hog production and pork market.

Major Players in the Global Hog Production and Pork Market

The dominant market players active in the global hog production and pork are Royal Pig Farm, Premium Standard Farm Inc., Compassion in World Farming, and Smithfield Foods.
