The growing application scope of the extracts in paste form in stock powder, stuffing, bouillon cubes, seasoning, and ready meals is projected to have a favorable impact on the expansion of the industry in the near future.
Meat extract paste is a flavoring additive derived from the meat of pork, beef, chicken fish, or mutton and is used in the manufacturing of soups, sauces, stews, pot pies, casseroles, bouillon and bouillon cubes, and baked goods.

The commercial application segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. This is mainly because of growing fast-food chains, including Taco Bell and McDonald’s and quick service restaurants in emerging countries such as China, Brazil, and India, wherein the demand for meat extracts in paste form is high.
Commercial applications of meat extract include full service and fast-food restaurants. These places are considered as not only the dining experience but also the food quality and service.

North America dominated the market and accounted for over 37.2% share of global revenue in 2019. The region is expected to witness strong gains on account of the growing consumption rate of the meat-based products due to their seasonings and flavoring in food products in the country, such as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Additionally, the U.S. was one of the leading producers of beef extracts in 2019 and is expected to sustain its dominant position in the coming years. One of the significant challenges faced by the country is the recent trade war with China. Australia, Japan, and South Korea, which are the main competitor to the U.S. meat and meat-based products in the Asia Pacific, are struggling with climate-related manufacturing impacts, leading to less significant exportable supplies.
Germany is measured as one of Europe's biggest markets on account of the highest income level across the globe. The meat extract in Germany has faced a challenging market situation in 2017, according to the Meat Product Industry Federation of Germany. The significant difficulties were the product of a combination of factors such as low pork extract demand, a downward trend in the meat products exports to other countries, and reduced livestock supply.
The global beef production forecast for 2020 is modified marginally lower from the prior estimates as global economic disruptions related to COVID-19 restrain beef demand and lead manufacturers to adjust their manufacturing plans. Global beef production in 2020 is likely to decline to some extent year-over-year with lesser production caused by herd rebuilding in Australia, mostly offset by growth in China, U.S., Canada, and Brazil.
