Hams market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period. The rising health awareness along with the rising consumption of ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat meals among the population is the major factor adding to the growth of the hams market. Ham is a cut of pork that’s cured and preserved. It is rich in protein and low in carbs, fat, and fiber. It is also low in calories when eaten alone. Due to their low-fat content, cooked ham products meet the dietary demands of increasingly health-conscious consumers. Consumers are increasingly looking for convenience food along with nutritional food in their hectic schedules. The convenience and shelf life offered by ready-to-eat/ready-to-cook meals have increased their demand, particularly among the working population and students. This in turn drives the sales of the ham market as they are utilized in ready-to-eat meals. According to OEC, in 2020, Swine hams, shoulders & cuts bone in, fresh or chille were the global's 820th most traded product, with a total trade of $3.55B. Swine hams, shoulders & cuts bone in, fresh or chille are a part of Pig Meat.
Segmental Outlook
The global hams market is segmented based on its product type, form, application, and distribution channel. Based on the product type, the market is sub-segmented into air-dried cured hams and smoked hams. Based on the form, the market is categorized into fresh/ chilled and frozen. Based on the application, the market is sub-segmented into foodservice and retail. Further, based on the distribution channel, the market is segmented into online and offline. Among the application segment, the retail application is anticipated to hold a prominent market share, while the foodservice application is estimated to witness the fastest growth.
Among the application segment, the retail sub-segment is expected to hold a prominent market share over the forecast period owing to the rapid growth in the consumption of pork and processed meat products in households. Ham is widely used in many dishes, due to which its demand from households is continuously rising. Thus, to serve this rising demand, a growing number of frozen meat product manufacturers are joining the industry and expanding their retail offerings. For instance, in February 2022, North Country Smokehouse introduced two new organic hams to their retail lineup; Applewood Smoked Ham Steak and Petit Ham. The company’s products are offered through discerning distributors globally and can be found in upscale retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Hannaford, Stop & Shop, Shaw's, Market Basket, Big Y, Target, Save Mart, Harris Teeter, Earthfare, Gelson's, and Bristol Farms.

Among these, the Asia-Pacific regional market is expected to cater to prominent growth over the forecast period. However, the North American region is projected to experience considerable growth in the hams market.
