Analyst Opinion

The Meat Market in Bosnia and Herzegovina has seen a slow growth rate due to factors such as limited consumer awareness and traditional eating habits. However, increased health concerns and the convenience of online meat services may drive future growth in the Fresh, Processed, and Meat Substitute sub-markets.

Customer preferences:
One notable trend in the Meat Market within The Food market in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the rise in demand for organic and locally sourced meat products. This shift is driven by a growing awareness of the health and environmental benefits of consuming organic meat, as well as a desire to support local farmers and businesses. Additionally, there is a growing preference for leaner and healthier meat options, such as chicken and fish, as consumers become more health-conscious. This trend is also influenced by the increasing number of people adopting vegetarian or flexitarian diets. As a result, there has been a decrease in the consumption of red meat, particularly among younger generations.

With a growing awareness of the impact of industrialized farming on the environment and animal welfare, consumers are seeking out local, organic, and free-range options. This trend is expected to continue as consumers become more conscious of their food choices and demand transparency from industry stakeholders. This may lead to changes in production and sourcing practices, as well as a potential increase in prices for these premium products.

Local special circumstances:
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Meat Market within The Food market is heavily influenced by the country's rich cultural heritage and traditional cuisine. The demand for high-quality, ethically-sourced meat products is driven by the preference for local, organic ingredients in traditional dishes.
