After some struggle prior to 2002, the refrigerated processed meat market bounced back, crossing the $16-billon mark in 2002 and reaching approximately $17 billion in 2004. Many factors contributed to this, the low carb craze being the simplest and most obvious. This driver, while slowing down now, has increased consumer consumption and interest in different kinds of meat products. However, there are other key factors more important for the future, such as changing demographics and emerging ethnic groups, continuing consumer interest in convenience and packaging options, growing consumer awareness in health, and the evolving retail market.
