Report overview
Segments covered: type, application, distribution channel, end user. Regions: Europe.
The growth of the Europe sausage casings market is driven by the growing preference for artificial casings by sausage manufacturers, increasing meat production and consumption in Europe, and the rising consumption of ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook food products. However, complexities in the use of natural sausage casings restrain the growth of this market. The emergence of vegetarian sausage casings is expected to generate growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, animal disease & health concerns are a major challenge for market growth.

Market dynamics
1 factors across 1 forceEmergence of Vegetarian Sausage Casings to Offer Immense Growth Opportunities for Sausage Casings Manufacturers
In recent years, vegetarianism and veganism have gained popularity in Europe due to growing health awareness, environmental concerns, and animal compassion. According to the European Vegetarian Union, around 10% of Europe’s population was vegetarian in 2021 (3% in 2007), while 3% was vegan. According to a study by Veganz, a German vegan supermarket, the number of vegans in Germany has doubled since 2016, reaching 2.6 million in 2021. Plant-based foods are popular among vegetarian & vegan consumers.
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, appropriately planned vegetarian (including vegan) diets are healthy and nutritionally adequate and reduce the risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and certain types of cancer. These diets suit all stages of the human lifecycle (including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and older adulthood) and athletes. Plant-based diets are high in fiber and provide all the necessary nutrients when planned well.
According to the Good Food Institute Europe, retail sales of plant-based foods reached USD 6.1 billion in 2022, an increase of 11.5% over 2020. Plant-based meat is a rapidly growing segment, with retail sales reaching USD 2.1 billion in 2022, up from 1.9 billion in 2020.
Thus, Europe’s growing vegan population and the health benefits of plant-based products support the demand for plant-based foods, generating 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 sausage casings in Europe.
