The import of prepared or preserved meat to India is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at $2.7088 million in 2024, it is forecasted to reach $3.0639 million by 2028. This reflects an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period. Considering 2023 as the point of reference, this progression suggests a consistent upward trend, emphasizing growing consumer demand or potential gaps in domestic supply.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in consumer dietary preferences and lifestyle shifts, potentially driving demand.
Policy and trade regulation alterations affecting import tariffs and restrictions.
Advancements in cold chain logistics, enhancing import feasibility.
