Man-Made Sausage Casing Market: Overview

Individual sausage links are made with a mixture of ground beef, fat, seasoning, and occasionally fillers that are placed into a casing and then knotted or twisted at intervals. Links sausage is traditionally stuffed inside natural casings made from pig intestines, but artificial casings are now getting traction. Synthetic casings are now used in the majority of commercial sausages. Man-made sausage casings can be produced from cellulose, collagen, and plastic, but they aren't necessarily edible. Collagen casings have been used for the longest and are made from animal collagen, primarily from cow and pig skins.

COVID-19 Impact:

Consumers have begun to focus on a plant-based diet as the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the link between public health and animal meat intake. Many firms in the man-made sausage casings industry have already begun to alter their methods in response to the rapid increase in demand for vegan sausages. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic is predicted to provide enormous development prospects for businesses, prompting them to enter the plant-based sausages market.

Man-Made Sausage Casing Market: Growth Drivers

Growing production and consumption of meat is boosting market growth.

The rise in population is the prime factor leading to the consumption of meat. This has ultimately resulted in the production and consumption of manmade sausages, thereby leading to the growth of the market. Livestock production, diet, living standards, and consumer pricing all influence meat consumption. Meat demand is linked to rising earnings and a shift in food consumption patterns, which favors more protein from animal sources in diets, as a result of rapid urbanization.

Global meat consumption is expected to increase by more than 1%, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Low- and middle-income nations, where incomes are gradually rising, will have the quickest increase. Further, meat consumption per capita is expected to increase globally from 42.4 kilos in 2021 to 43.7 kg in 2030. Nevertheless, the world's population is predicted to continue to rise. When taken together, these factors will increase global meat consumption. All these factors are significantly boosting the growth of the global man-made sausage casing market.

Man-Made Sausage Casing Market: Restraints

The growing preference of customers toward natural sausage casings over manmade sausage casings may hinder the market growth.

Consumers today have refined palates and can easily distinguish between collagen (manmade casings) and natural sausage casings. Manmade sausage casings are often inedible and should be separated before consumption. Also, because collagen is robust, it cannot be twisted and will hold its shape unless heat is given to the appropriate shape, the texture, and feel will be compromised. Natural sausage casings, on the other hand, have a distinct "snap." It has the conventional look, texture, and cooking performance that you'd expect from sausage. It also has an endothermic quality, that keeps sausages soft and juicy, keeps them looking fresh, and extends their shelf life. Owing to all these factors there is an increase in the preference of the consumer toward natural sausage casing thereby limiting the growth of the man-made sausage casing industry.

Man-Made Sausage Casing Market: Opportunities

The development of GMO-free and gluten-free casings from plant-based materials are likely to have ample opportunities for market growth.

With a growing inclination toward a healthy lifestyle, a large number of the population refer to food that is gluten-free and GMO-free. Thus, to fulfill the demand of the consumer, leading players in the market are investing majorly in the development of casings that are gluten-free, GMO-free as well as allergy-free. This has also led to the development of manmade sausage casings from whey proteins, where whey, a by-product of cheese production is used and turned into an edible film that may be used as a substitute for sausage casing. This may also increase the consumer base which in turn is expected to fuel the global man-made sausage casing market during the forecast period.

Man-Made Sausage Casing Market: Challenges.

The rising trend of veganism poses a major challenge to market growth.

Taking into consideration the factors like growing concerns regarding animal cruelty and raising awareness about healthy lifestyles, people in developed countries are adopting the trend of veganism. For instance, vegans in Europe have increased from 1.3 million to 2.6 million, accounting for 3.2 percent of the population, in the last four years. In addition to this, meat-eaters are more accepting of plant-based diets and meat substitutes. Thus, increasing preference for vegetarian and vegan food poses a major challenge for man-made sausage casing industry players.

Man-Made Sausage Casing Market: Segmentation

The global man-made sausage casing market is categorized based on type, end-use, and region.

Based on type, the market is bifurcated into animal, collagen, cellulose, fibrous, and polymer. The collagen casings segment held the largest market share in 2022 and is further predicted to grow exponentially at a notable CAGR during the forecast period. The major reason for the growth of this segment is the appreciably reduced cost of production in the case of collagen casings compared to gut casings or other alternatives.

In addition, collagen casings have considerably fewer labor requirements and can initiate efficient production speeds. Furthermore, collagen casings provide a number of advantageous properties such as standard diameter, strength, edible, and uniformity are further predicted to bolster the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

Based on end-use, the market is segmented into food processing companies, food service providers, food retailers, and other end users. The food processing companies segment held the largest market share in 2022 and is further projected to grow at a rapid CAGR during the forecast period. The main reason for the growth of this segment is attributed to rise in the meat consumption among people and the surge in demand for sausages enabled food processing companies to expand production and meet the demand, which subsequently resulted in the increased production of man-made sausage casings. In addition, the rise in automation in sausage production and the availability of innovative food options are further expected to drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

Recent Developments

• In November 2021, Impossible Foods, a California-based food company that creates plant-based substitutes for different types of meat products, announced the launch of its plant-based protein range with its new Impossible Sausage. It is specially made to taste, cook, and look like pork sausage as it contains 43% less saturated fat, 30% fewer calories, and 47% less total fat compared to traditional pork ground sausage.
• In April 2020, Loryma, a Germany-based company, and Viscofan, a maker of meat casings in Spain, collaborated to create a recipe for fried sausages and vegan grills made with wheat components.
