What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Food Phosphate Market?
The surge in consumption of meat-based products is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the food phosphate market in the future. The consumption of meat-based products includes the intake of food items made from animal flesh. These products are created from a variety of animals such as cow, pig, chicken, sheep, etc. Food phosphates, which are chemicals widely used in the meat sector, serve multiple functions, including enhancing the texture, look, longevity, pH balance and moisture retention of meat products. For instance, a report published by the World Animal Foundation (WAF), a US-based organization that advocates for animal welfare through education, stated that the individual consumption of beef in the US in 2022 was 58.9 pounds. Furthermore, chicken consumption in the US rose from 115 pounds in 2022 to 117.40 pounds in 2023, while pork consumption increased from 51.1 to 51.6 pounds. Hence, the escalating consumption of meat products is stimulating the growth of the food phosphate market.
