Report overview
Segments covered: type, application, distribution channel, end user. Regions: Europe.
The growth of this market is attributed to an increase in the population growth in Europe and subsequent rise in meat consumption and production, the increasing acquisitions from leading players, increasing preference for artificial casings among sausage manufacturers, casings manufacturers’ shift from natural casings to artificial casings due to operational challenges, and rising number of foodservice chains. Additionally, the emergence of vegetarian sausage casings provides significant growth opportunities for companies operating in this market. However, the higher preference for natural sausage casings over artificial sausage casings among consumers hinders the growth of the artificial casings market in Europe.

Market dynamics
1 factors across 1 forceEmergence of Vegetarian Sausage Casings Creates Significant Growth Opportunities for Artificial Casings Manufacturers in Europe
Due to health concerns, ethics, and the need for sustainability, diets are changing across the globe. According to European Vegetarian Union (2021), the number of vegans in Europe has doubled from 1.3 million in 2016 to 2.6 million in 2020, representing 3.2% of the total European population. The rapid growth in the vegetarian population, changing lifestyles, increasing industrialization, economic development, health & wellness trends, and rising consumer awareness about the health concerns originating from the long-term use of animal proteins have created immense growth opportunities for plant-based product manufacturers.
Furthermore, there has been significant growth in vegetarianism and veganism in recent years due to increasing health awareness, environmental concerns, and compassion for animals. As of 2019, Germany’s Government has invested USD 780,000 in a research project that examines ways to produce vegan meat with a more meat-like texture. The project, called Texturing Mechanisms in the Wet Extrusion of Soy and Pea Protein, allows researchers at Germany’s TU Berlin and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) to innovate plant-based meat production methods.
In addition, more than 60 companies and research institutions in the Netherlands are focused on the plant-based sector by implementing various strategies. Plant-based foods have gained tremendous popularity among consumers. Planned vegetarian and vegan diets are nutritionally adequate for everyone, from pregnant women to children and athletes. Plant-based diets reduce the risk of health conditions, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Plant-based diets are high in fiber and provide all the necessary nutrients when planned well.
Thus, the growing vegan population and health benefits offered by plant-based products support the demand for plant-based foods, offering opportunities for leading meat producers to expand their existing product portfolios with vegan sausages and meat alternatives, which is expected to drive the demand for vegetarian artificial casings.
