The meat, poultry and seafood market is expected to grow to $2069.85 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.4%. The world's population is growing and is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. An increase in the population creates more demand for food. According to "The Agricultural Outlook" by the OECD and FAO, global cereal production is projected to increase by 13% by 2027. Crop production, farming activities, and trade volumes will have to increase in order to meet the increased population. Therefore, companies in this market are expected to benefit from rising demand for meat, poultry, and seafood products due to the rising population during the forecast period. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the meat, poultry, and seafood markets in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. Also, restrictions on the trade of non-essential goods and fear of contamination through manufacturing facilities contributed to the decline. The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the meat, poultry, and seafood markets will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. Poultry processing companies are increasingly using 3D imaging systems to optimise yields. 3D imaging systems model the poultry bird using sensors and actuators to determine the position of the cut. The bird is put under the vision system, which takes the images and measurements, and the geometry is determined. Near-infrared sensors determine the amount of meat and bone present in the bird. Vision analysis enables the system to perform optimal cuts for each bird regardless of its size and shape. It is a data-driven process that maximises the yield and minimises the per unit cost for poultry meat processing. Major companies involved in pioneering this technology include Gainco, a meat and poultry equipment manufacturer, and Midwest Machine LLC. Major companies in the market include JBS S.A., Tyson Foods Inc., Marfrig Global Foods, WH Group Limited, NH Foods Ltd., Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, Danish Crown A/S, Hormel Foods Corp, Wm Morrison Supermarkets plc, and Vion Holding N.V.
