Pork Jerky Market Outlook

  • The popularity of high-protein, low-carb diets such as Keto and Paleo have bolstered the demand for pork jerky.

  • There is growing interest and demand for pork jerky in regions such as Europe and Asia Pacific.

Pork Jerky Market Growth Rate

Pork jerky is a snack that is made from dehydrated pork meat cut into lean strips or slices with improved shelf life. This process involves marinating the meat in a solution of salt, seasonings, and sometimes a sweetening agent, followed by drying it in a dehydrator, oven, or smoker at a low temperature for several hours. These thin strips are usually seasoned with salt, sugar, spices, and other ingredients to offer unique flavours.

Growing demand for nutritional and healthy snacks among health-conscious consumers is one of the prominent factors driving pork jerky market growth. Pork jerky typically contains low-calorie, low-fat, and high-protein content, which makes it a preferable snacking option between meals. In the fast-paced world, consumers are increasingly looking for snacks that are easy to consume on the go. Pork jerky's long shelf life and portability make it an ideal snack for busy lifestyles, travel, and outdoor activities, and as a quick source of energy. With the growing popularity of e-commerce, consumers are gaining access to different flavours of pork jerky from any part of the world, which further provides impetus to the pork jerky market development.

Rising demand for clean-labelled snacks

Several pork jerky providers are offering transparency of their products and eliminating the use of synthetic flavours or preservatives in their production processes.

Keto and paleo diets

The popularity of high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets like keto and paleo has contributed to the increased demand for pork jerky as a compliant, convenient snack option.

Innovative and unique flavour combinations

Combinations such as maple syrup and pineapple juice pork jerky, among others, cater to the diverse tastes of the consumer base.

Convenient packaging

As pork jerky is often consumed on the go, there's a trend towards more convenient, resealable packaging that maintains freshness and makes consumption easier.

Rising premiumisation in pork jerky products

A large consumer segment is willing to pay a premium for artisanal or gourmet pork jerky products that offer unique flavours, superior quality, and artisanal craftsmanship.

Pork Jerky Market Trends

The trend toward clean-label products in the market reflects a broader shift in consumer preferences towards foods that are perceived as more natural and healthier. Consumers are increasingly seeking foods made from natural ingredients, with minimal processing. In the context of pork jerky, this means using real, recognisable ingredients such as natural cuts of pork, sea salt, and natural seasonings instead of artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives. There is a growing awareness of the potential health impacts of artificial additives and highly processed foods and clean-label pork jerky appeals to consumers looking to avoid these additives in favour of a more natural diet.

Several companies are making their venture into the pork jerky market with the launch of innovative products. Hofmann Sausage Company, traditionally known for its variety of sausages and meat products, announced the expansion of its product lineup with the introduction of a Korean barbecue-flavored smoked pork jerky in January 2023. This move marks the company's first foray into the pork jerky sector, diversifying its offerings and tapping into the growing demand for innovative and flavorful meat snacks.

Pork Jerky Market Share

Conventional pork jerky accounts for a major share due to its easy accessibility and cost-effective price

Conventional pork jerky occupies a significant portion of the market, due to its extensive availability across the world. Conventional go-to jerky snacks are available in a wide range of flavours and affordable pricing compared to organic pork jerky, which also boosts the growth of the segment. Many consumers are more familiar with conventional pork jerky brands due to their long-standing presence in the market. Traditional preferences and brand loyalty can influence purchasing decisions, favouring conventional over niche products. Moreover, large companies that produce conventional pork jerky often have substantial marketing budgets, allowing them to engage in extensive advertising campaigns and this visibility increases consumer awareness and can drive sales.

Meanwhile, organic pork jerky is expected to gain robust growth in the pork jerky market in the foreseeable future, due to the shift in consumer preference towards natural jerky products that undergo minimal processing and retain their nutritional quality. Organic farming practices are viewed as more environmentally friendly, as they reduce chemical runoff and often use more sustainable farming techniques and consumers concerned about their ecological footprint may prefer organic pork jerky as a way to align their purchasing habits with their environmental values.

Independent groceries and retailers maintain their dominance in the market as they offer a broad range of jerky products and brands

Independent groceries and retailers traditionally hold a significant portion of the pork jerky market for snack foods, including pork jerky. Independent grocery and speciality food stores often offer a variety of jerky products, including local, artisanal, and organic options that might not be available in larger chains. These retailers cater to specific consumer preferences and can provide a platform for niche brands.

In recent years, online sales have surged across various product categories, including food and snacks like pork jerky. The convenience of online shopping, coupled with the ability to easily explore and purchase a wide range of flavours, brands, and product types, makes the online channel highly attractive to consumers. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) models adopted by many jerky brands have also contributed to the growth in online sales. The pandemic accelerated the shift towards online shopping, and this trend is likely to have sustained growth.
