The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Bacon Market Report by Type (Dry Cured, Immersion Cured, Pumped Bacon, and Others), Product Type (Standard Bacon, Ready-To-Eat Bacon), Source (Pork, Beef, Turkey, Chicken), Nature (Organic, Conventional), Distribution Channel (Institutional Sales (HoReCa), Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Independent Retailers, Specialist Retailers, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” finds that the global bacon market size reached USD 73.2 Billion in 2024. Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork usually made from the side and belly portion of a pig. It is consumed as a side dish, incorporated into meals, or used as an ingredient in dishes like sandwiches, soups, salads, and sweets such as maple bacon ice cream. It is available in various flavors, such as apple, maple, mesquite, and low-fat and low-sodium versions. Moreover, it is also made from other animals, such as turkey and chicken, which are typically leaner than pork bacon. At present, bacon is a popular breakfast option for individuals of all age groups due to its unique, smoky flavor and longer shelf life.
Global Bacon Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) and ready-to-cook (RTC) food products on account of the expanding working population, hectic lifestyles, and changing dietary habits of individuals. In addition, the growing consumer acceptance of convenience meat products with enhanced taste, quality, and shelf life represent another major growth-inducing factor. Moreover, various quick-service restaurants (QSR) and food outlets are incorporating bacon products to increase their menu options and attract more consumers. This, coupled with the rising consumption of meat products like bacon as a part of paleo and keto diet plans among health- and fitness-conscious consumers, is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, several key players are introducing innovative product variants, such as low-calorie and gluten-free bacon, to expand their consumer base and maintain a competitive edge in the market. They are also investing in attractive and sustainable packaging solutions, which is augmenting the market growth. Furthermore, the increasing demand for meat protein, rising disposable incomes, and the growing influence of cross-culture dietary patterns are some of the other factors anticipated to propel the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach USD 95.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period (2025-2033).
