Sales of beef concentrate are anticipated to total USD 16 Billion by 2023-end, and will likely follow an expansion trajectory at a 5.3% CAGR until 2033, as per a recently published Future Market Insights report. The study on the beef concentrate landscape expects the market to be valued at USD 26.82 Billion by the end of the 2023 to 2033 forecast period.
Beef concentrates are alternatives to traditional beef, comprising an intense flavor and reduced meat content. These concentrates are laden with some amounts of fat, sugar, and salt. Beef concentrates can be derived either from the stock or the bone. Further, the concentrates can be formulated into powders, liquid, or cubes.
As consumers shift towards consuming foods that are convenient to prepare, sales of beef concentrates are booming significantly. Growth is expected to be especially high across the United States, thanks to its status as the largest hub of beef production and consumption.
It is estimated that an average American consumes about 55 pounds of beef annually, according to statistics published by the Department of Agriculture (USDA). On the production front, beef farms represent 30% of USA farms, making up the single largest agricultural sector.
On the global front, the world consumed 59.1 Million metric tons of beef in 2020, representing a decline of 398,000 metric tons compared to 2019. With the global population expected to exceed 9 Billion by 2050, coupled with rising income levels, demand for beef is increasing and will continue to grow.
Beef production requires copious quantities of land, water, and energy, and generates considerable waste. 25% of global land use, land-use change, and forestry emissions are driven by beef production.
Hence, consumers and producers alike are looking for ways to reduce the deleterious impact the beef industry has on the environment, incorporating sustainable production processes. One way to make sustainable the beef industry has been to transition toward the consumption of alternatives, including beef concentrates.
Moreover, health risks associated with extensive red meat intake are motivating consumers to switch to less fattening yet highly nutritious diets, thereby accelerating the popularity of beef concentrates.
The beef concentrates landscape is highly consolidated, with a majority of the players situated across Europe and the United States. A number of small to medium-sized manufacturers dominate the market. For instance, Custom Culinary Inc. offers its range of beef stock broth and base concentrate. The product is a chef-grade flavor enhancer for soups and sauces.
Furthermore, it is gluten-free, and contains no maltodextrin or added MSG. In addition, it is manufactured using clean-label ingredients, containing no hydrolyzed vegetable protein or artificial colors.
Market players are seeking to expand their production capabilities so as to cater to the ever-increasing demand for meat alternative products. As of January 2023, American food giant Campbell Foods announced an investment worth USD 50 Million to reimagine its headquarters in Camden. The company intends to consolidate its snack offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Norwalk, Connecticut.
The construction of an integrated complex is due to commence in March 2023. This is expected to streamline the company’s operations and be able to better manage its production activities.
Knorr Foods, a German food manufacturer, offers a range of beef concentrate products. Some of its offerings include Natural Beef Bouillon, Zero Salt Beef Bouillon, Beef Cube Bouillon, Beef Granulated Bouillon, Beef au Jus, and the Knorr Beef Concentrated Stock.
