Description

The America processed meat market is projected to reach USD 382.46 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.76% from 2025 to 2035. Processed meat includes products made by treating fresh meat with preservatives, seasonings, or heat to improve taste and durability. Common types include deli meats, pepperoni, and canned meats, often used for convenience in ready-to-eat meals.

Health consciousness is changing the U.S. processed meat market, as consumers are looking for nutritious, low-fat, and nitrate-free products. In response, brands like Tyson Foods and Hormel Foods have launched cleaner-label products like Hormel's ""Natural Choice"" and Tyson's reduced-sodium meats, thus, going hand in hand with the consumer wellness trend.

Key Company Development
The Kraft Heinz Not Company LLC, a leader in plant-based innovation, introduced NotHotDogs and NotSausages in March 2024, thereby, broadening the Oscar Mayer plant-based line. The company’s strategic decision is a clear response to the consumer demand for tasty, eco-friendly meat substitutes and is in line with the corporation's pledge of making accessible, innovative, and delicious plant-based food.

Major Competitors
Key competitors in the America processed meat market include Tyson Foods Inc., Kraft Heinz Co., Hormel Foods Corp, Johnsonville Sausage LLC, ConAgra Brands Inc., CARGILL, Inc., OSI Group, and WH Group.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
