It is projected to increase from $394.75 billion in 2025 to $417.18 billion in 2026, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%.

The poultry market is projected to experience substantial expansion in the coming years, reaching a value of $531.77 billion by 2030, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%.

Poultry Market Industry Drivers: What’s Behind The Revenue Growth?
Poultry manufacturing expansion is supported by the projected stable economic growth across numerous developed and developing nations. For instance, in April 2024, the International Monetary Fund, a US-based financial agency, indicated that the economy is expected to sustain a growth rate of 3.2% in 2024 and 2025, mirroring the performance observed in 2023. The recovery of commodity prices, after a notable decline in the past, is also anticipated to contribute to market growth. Developed economies are likewise expected to demonstrate steady growth throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, emerging markets are projected to continue their slightly faster growth trajectory compared to developed markets in the upcoming period. This consistent economic expansion is set to boost investments in the end-user poultry market, thereby stimulating poultry manufacturing over the forecast period. The surging consumption of meat is poised to drive the growth of the poultry market in the future. Meat consumption refers to the act of eating and utilizing meat and meat products for dietary and culinary purposes. This increase in meat consumption is boosting the poultry market due to rising demand for poultry meat products, health considerations, population expansion, and heightened demand in developing and emerging markets. For example, in July 2024, Carlisle Technology, a Canada-based hardware and software solutions provider in the meat industry, reported that per capita chicken consumption in the U.S. was 98.90 pounds in 2022, with a projected increase to 107.50 pounds by 2033. Consequently, the escalating consumption of meat is a key factor propelling the growth of the poultry market.

Poultry Market Innovation Trends: What Developments Are Reshaping The Industry?
Leading companies within the poultry market are prioritizing the development of innovative feed solutions, such as multi-enzyme and enzyme-probiotic blends, with the goal of improving nutrient utilization, promoting gut health, and lowering overall production expenses. These multi-enzyme and enzyme-probiotic blends are sophisticated feed additives that integrate digestive enzymes with beneficial microbes to optimize nutrient breakdown, bolster gut health, and enhance overall bird performance, thereby enabling poultry to absorb more energy and protein from their feed while minimizing waste and strengthening immunity. For instance, in August 2024, IFF, a US-based animal nutrition company, launched two specific feed solutions: Axtra XAP and Syncra AVI. Axtra XAP is a high-performance multi-enzyme blend (xylanase, amylase, and protease) designed to boost energy efficiency and nutrient availability in corn and mixed grain diets, facilitating more adaptable feed formulations and reducing feed costs. Conversely, Syncra AVI combines enzymes with probiotics to support gut health and immune function, cultivating a “nutribiotic” state in the bird’s gut microbiome, which in turn improves bird wellness and performance while decreasing reliance on antibiotics.
