OpenPR.com published a report on the Philippines meat market, projecting it will reach USD 5.97 billion by 2034. The report attributes growth to rising population, urbanization, and changing consumer diets.
Barcodes Philippines said that as meat demand grows, local processors and distributors should ensure their retail packs carry EAN/UPC barcodes for supermarket shelf readiness. For meat products moving into major retail chains, one-off EAN/UPC barcode packages are available from barcodes.ph.
The meat sector is a key part of the Philippines' food retail and supply chain, with pork, chicken, and beef demand steadily increasing as incomes rise. Retailers are expanding cold-chain capacity and distribution networks to keep pace with consumption.
The report also notes ongoing challenges, including supply constraints and reliance on imports. Local producers and retailers are expected to invest in processing and logistics to meet growing demand through the next decade.
