Global Sheep Meat Market to Grow at a CAGR of 1.6% During 2024-2032, Driven by the Growing Demand for Protein-Rich Food

The Asia Pacific holds a significant market share of the market due to the presence of 13.7% of the world's sheep population in China and a significant number of sheep flocks in India and Australia. Meanwhile, the Middle East and Africa sheep meat market growth is being aided by the high consumption rate of mutton in the Arab States, such as Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, due to its taste and cooking style. The high per capita income and economic growth of the Gulf region further support the consumption of imported foods such as lamb and sheep meat.

The delicate taste of sheep meat and its associated nutritional benefits aid the market growth of sheep meat. In August 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) highlighted the growth in mutton output overall and record lamb production. In 2022, Australia produced the most lamb ever recorded, according to Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA).

Lamb producers tracked 7.7% over year-over-year levels, or 20,000 metric tonnes, for the first half of 2023. June 2023 marked the processing of over 11.5 million lambs, making it the second-highest start to a year since 2018. The sale of animals to processors brought in USD 4.8 billion for lamb and sheep farmers in the 2023 fiscal year in Australia. Besides, the growing sales of sheet meat on online platforms like Walmart (NYSE: WMT) are positively influencing the market growth.
