Beef-related products saw the most dramatic cost increases, with raw material prices reaching record levels due to a 5% shortage in cattle supply combined with sustained consumer demand. This supply-demand imbalance created unprecedented pricing pressure that filtered through the entire meat processing chain. The situation was further complicated by international trade tensions, as tariffs on Australian beef imports and China's anti-dumping investigation into global beef trade created additional market uncertainty.

Pork-derived powder ingredients showed more stability, though processing costs rose due to minimum wage increases and higher energy expenses. The sector benefited from strong export performance, particularly to Mexico and Asian markets, which helped maintain demand despite domestic price pressures.

Production costs across all meat powder categories increased as processors faced higher facility registration requirements and stricter food safety protocols. Transportation and storage expenses also climbed, adding to the overall cost structure. Processing companies struggled to absorb these increases while maintaining competitive pricing.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the second half of 2025 may see continued price volatility as supply chain pressures persist and international trade policies remain uncertain.
 

Dried Meat Powder Price Trend for the Year 2024

In 2024, the price of dried meat powder showed a mixed but overall stabilizing trend, shaped by broader food inflation patterns and ongoing global challenges. During the early part of the year, costs remained relatively high, echoing the lingering effects of pandemic-era supply disruptions, energy cost surges, and international conflicts such as the war in Ukraine. These factors increased the cost of production and transportation, which directly affected meat-based products, including processed powders.

As the year progressed, inflation began to cool slightly thanks to monetary tightening by central banks, especially the Federal Reserve. However, higher energy prices and strict regulations around animal farming and transport continued to keep production costs elevated. Domestically, environmental regulations and cage-free poultry laws also placed upward pressure on supply-side expenses. Internationally, new Brexit-related import fees on animal products contributed to trade frictions, making imports more expensive and affecting availability.

Toward the latter half of 2024, the market began to stabilize. Technological advancements in food processing and agricultural innovation helped moderate production costs. Despite this, dried meat powder remained a relatively premium item due to the complexity and cost of its supply chain.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, going forward Dried Meat Powder prices are expected to remain steady but sensitive to energy trends, global conflicts, and agricultural supply conditions.
 

Price Trend for Dried Meat Powder for the Second Half of 2023

In the second half of 2023, dried meat powder prices faced mixed pressures, shaped by shifting livestock and meat market dynamics across global regions. On one hand, ample pork supplies and weak demand in China pushed down pork prices, indirectly easing input costs for pork-based dried meat powder. However, challenges persisted for beef-derived powders, as the US saw reduced cattle availability, raising procurement costs for producers. This impacted prices for beef-based powder, especially for exporters reliant on the US supply chain.

At the same time, in Australia, a drop in livestock prices due to oversupply began filtering into retail, slowly making red meat more affordable. As consumers responded to lower beef and lamb prices with increased buying, domestic demand lifted slightly, but this didn’t fully translate to international demand or significantly support processed meat product prices like powders. Economic sluggishness in several key regions and ongoing input cost pressures across the value chain—such as freight, energy, and labor—added complexity to pricing.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, Dried Meat Powder prices may remain under pressure until broader consumer demand improves. Recovery in meat exports and easing inflation could gradually stabilize the market into mid-2024.
 

Dried Meat Powder Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Dried Meat Powder’s market directly aligns with its feedstock meat market. During the said period, an incline was observed in the Dried Meat Powder industry. Beef prices surged because of the supply constraints. It takes around 18- 22 months for a calf to get to market weight, and heavy drought in many cattle-supplying regions led to a decrease in their numbers, and the livestock was sold in haste to not let the losses grow further.

The meat packing companies were already struggling since the pandemic to restart the plants as the laid-off workers got into other occupations, so the supplies were constricted because of that also.

And though the chicken prices were stable at the beginning, excessive heat strokes in the second quarter prevented the hatching and again created supply curtailments in the chicken market. So, overall, the Dried Meat Powder prices wavered at the higher end of the price curve.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, because of the long incubation time involved with livestock, the price situation doesn’t appear to be changing in the immediate future, so similar behavior is expected in the price trend of Dried Meat Powder.
 

Dried Meat Powder Price Trend for the Second Half of 2022

The production of dried meat products witnessed a significant decline, especially in the European and North American regions as the region was distressed due to the frequent droughts and increasing costs of production. The dry season in the area reduced the grass and maize feed for herds and in addition to this the energy prices soared, and farmers also faced the inclining energy and fertilizers prices.

In the Texas region, the loss of herds was approximately 3% as compared to 2020 levels, majorly attributed to the rough weather conditions, lack of pastures, and weak market conditions. Hence, due to this disbalance in supply and demand, the meat prices increased causing the price trend for dried meat powder to incline.

However, the poultry meat industry increased by approximately 28.9% in the last quarter of 2022 to a new all-time high. The supply of meat and its based products was weak amid the high demand from the consumer sector. The disruptions in the supply chain were due to the ripple effects of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis and bird flu outbreak.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the prices of dried meat powder are expected to increase in the upcoming quarter. The producers are still suffering from low production levels and disruptions in supply chains while the demand from consumers is soaring globally.
 

Dried Meat Powder Price Trend for the First Half of 2022

According to the FAO Food Price Index, which measures the monthly change in international prices of a basket of food commodities, the meat prices inclined steeply during the first half of the said year. The meat index went from 112.1 in January to 125.9 in June 2022. Russia and Ukraine are the key players in the world commodity market; sanctions against Russia and supply shortages from Ukraine created a massive void in the global market.

The high feed and food prices decreased food affordability, impacting the food and nutrition security of the population. Corn is the top ingredient in the food used to feed cattle, and fluctuations in corn feed impacted bovine meat prices.

The biggest price hikes were in pork and beef meat, around 14% and 20%, respectively. These high meat prices directly impacted the price trend of dried meat powder, causing the prices to inflate globally. The high dried meat powder prices are a direct result of constrained supplies due to trade restrictions, labour shortages, and inflated costs of freight, feed, and grains amid a robust consumer demand.
