The Asia Pacific represents a major portion of the global beef market share due to the significant demand for beef in countries such as China, Pakistan, Japan, and Australia. China is the leading beef producer in the Asia Pacific region, and as of 2024, China’s beef production grew by 2.7% compared to 2023, accounting for 7.7 million metric tonnes. The market is mainly driven by a large live cattle inventory, the expansion of the domestic beef herd, and growth in disposable income. The changing dietary habits and the growing demand for animal protein further expand the market. Additionally, the increasing consumption of processed beef meats in the form of sausages, salamis, and steaks drives the market growth.
In August 2022, Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) announced its plans to invest USD 200 million to develop and modernise operations at its cattle facility in Amarillo, Texas. This production plant is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. The project entails building a 143,000-square-foot extension to the current beef complex to accommodate updated amenities for the well-being of team members, such as offices, cafeterias, and locker rooms. Additionally, the project aims to improve and enlarge the facility's current operating floor. Of the six beef manufacturing facilities owned by the firm, the Amarillo factory is among its largest. The complex contains a beef patty factory in addition to producing commodity cuts of fresh beef and specialist goods. These goods are packed and packaged for sale to foodservice and retail clients in the United States and other countries.
