Global Hog Production and Pork Market: Drivers and Trends

The global hog production and pork market has been primarily driven in the recent decades by the changes in consumption patterns brought about by rising incomes, particularly in developing countries with fast-growing economies. In fact, the pork sector has outshone most other sub-segments of livestock in terms of growth pace. Rapid improvements in breeding technologies for pigs have also filliped the market substantially in the recent past and transformed commercial hog production into a high-input, high-output industry.

To harness the complete genetic potential of the few breeds used in modern production systems, manufacturers need to provide standardized environments for the pigs, something which small, independent owners may not be able to achieve on account of the high capital required for it. This has led to a noticeable trend in the global hog production and pork market – shift towards large-scale industrialized farming from subsistence-driven small-scale production. In the years ahead, the rising use of heart valves of hogs for implantation of human heart valve is expected to positively impact the market.

A major market restraint is the religious beliefs in certain regions which hamper the pork industry. Yet another challenge to the market is the restrictions on imports and exports on various grounds. For example, pigs fed ractopamine, a feed additive that brings about leanness, is banned in many markets.
