The Meat Market in Cambodia is facing minimal growth due to factors such as low consumer awareness about the benefits of meat consumption, limited access to digital technologies, and traditional preferences for locally-sourced meat. Despite this, the Fresh Meat and Processed Meat sub-markets are expected to experience moderate growth due to the increasing demand for protein-rich foods and the development of new meat products. However, the Meat Substitutes sub-market is projected to grow at a slower pace due to challenges in sourcing quality ingredients and limited distribution channels.
