Meticulous Research® has published a report titled “Europe Sausage Casings Market by Type (Artificial Casings, Natural Casings), Application (Animal Meat Sausages, Vegan Sausages), Distribution Channel (Offline, Online), End User (Food Processors, Retailers), and Country – Forecast to 2030,” forecasting the market to reach $2.72 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 4.1% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is primarily driven by the increasing preference for artificial casings among sausage manufacturers, rising meat production and consumption in Europe, and a growing demand for ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook food products. Despite these growth factors, challenges such as the complexities of using natural casings and concerns regarding animal diseases may hinder market progress. The emergence of vegetarian sausage casings presents new opportunities for market players. The report segments the market based on type, application, distribution channel, end user, and geography, noting that in 2023, artificial casings are expected to hold the largest market share due to their consistency, stability, and cost-effectiveness, as well as the increasing popularity of processed meat and vegan options. In terms of application, the animal-based sausage segment is anticipated to dominate the market, driven by higher meat consumption and urbanization, while the plant-based sausage segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
