Poultry Market Growth Potential: How Will Market Size Change Through 2030?
The poultry market size has experienced robust growth in recent years. It is anticipated to expand from $394.75 billion in 2025 to $417.18 billion in 2026, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. This historical growth can be ascribed to several factors, including rising global poultry consumption, the expansion of organized poultry farming, improvements in poultry processing infrastructure, increasing urban population demand for protein foods, and the growth of modern retail channels.
The poultry market size is projected to experience robust expansion over the coming years, reaching $531.77 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. This growth during the forecast period is largely attributable to factors such as a rise in the demand for ready-to-eat poultry products, increased consumer attention to food safety and quality, the growth of e-commerce food delivery platforms, an escalating preference for sustainable poultry farming, and greater investments in advanced poultry processing technologies. Prominent trends for the forecast period include the expanding adoption of antibiotic-free poultry production, an increasing demand for processed and value-added poultry products, a stronger focus on improvements in cold chain and packaging, the diversification of organic and free-range poultry offerings, and enhanced traceability across poultry supply chains.

Poultry Market Demand Drivers: What Is Fueling Industry Growth?
Poultry manufacturing expansion is being bolstered by the stable economic growth anticipated in numerous developed and developing countries. For instance, in April 2024, the International Monetary Fund, a US-based financial agency, indicated that the global economy is projected to maintain a growth rate of 3.2% in 2024 and 2025, consistent with the pace observed in 2023. Furthermore, the recovery of commodity prices, after a notable decline in the past, is expected to support the market’s growth. Developed economies are also anticipated to experience stable growth throughout the forecast period. Additionally, emerging markets are projected to continue their growth at a slightly faster rate than developed markets during the forecast period. This steady economic growth is expected to increase investments within the end-user poultry market, thereby propelling poultry manufacturing during the forecast period.

Poultry Market Innovation Trends: Which Developments Are Transforming The Industry?
Major companies in the poultry market are focusing on developing advanced feed solutions, such as multi-enzyme and enzyme-probiotic blends, to enhance nutrient efficiency, improve gut health, and reduce overall production costs. Multi-enzyme and enzyme-probiotic blends are sophisticated feed additives that combine digestive enzymes with beneficial microbes to optimize nutrient breakdown, promote gut health, and boost overall bird performance. This helps poultry absorb more energy and protein from feed, minimizes waste, and supports stronger immunity. For instance, in August 2024, IFF, a US-based animal nutrition company, introduced two new feed solutions: Axtra XAP and Syncra AVI. Axtra XAP is a high-performance multi-enzyme blend (xylanase, amylase, and protease) engineered to boost energy efficiency and nutrient availability in corn and mixed grain diets, enabling more flexible feed formulations and reducing feed costs. Syncra AVI integrates enzymes with probiotics to support gut health and immune function, fostering a “nutribiotic” state in the bird’s gut microbiome, which improves bird wellness and performance while decreasing reliance on antibiotics.
