Strong growth in consumer confidence (which increased from 134.7 in August 2018 to 138.4 in September) reflects the optimism in the economy and consumer readiness to spend on indulgence and convenience. Driven by the US Government's corporate tax reforms, aggressive trade policies, and a push for local manufacturing, the US economy is producing record growth levels across key macro parameters. Furthermore, unemployment in the US is at a 50-year low, indicating a positive outlook in the near future, especially for consumer markets in the country.
Globally, the US represented the largest meat sector by value (US$182.2 billion) in 2018. The US meat sector ranked fifth in terms of per capita expenditure in 2018. Despite an on-going trade war with China, the US meat sector is expected to record stable growth over 2018-2023.
Growing health-consciousness and rising disposable incomes are encouraging Americans to look for high quality meat products that are sourced from grass-fed animals. US consumers perceive grass-fed animal meat to be lean and contain high levels of essential vitamins and minerals, resulting in it being costlier than grain-fed animal meat products.
Moreover, health-conscious Americans are willing to spend more on meat products labeled with health & wellness claims such as reduced fat' and all natural'. Consequently, the US meat sector will offer fair opportunities in future, in terms of per capita expenditure.
This report provides recommended actions and detailed analysis of how to target the best growth opportunities for producers and retailers. Readers can understand what categories, channels, companies, and consumers will drive the success of the various channels in the sector's distribution through detailed and robust data, expert insight, and case studies.
