Global Poultry (Broiler) Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Poultry (Broiler) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 317,506 million in 2025 to US$ 419,004 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2026 to 2032.

Poultry (Broiler) is fast-growing meat-type chickens, covering a complete industrial chain including breeding, hatching, farming, slaughter, processing and cold-chain logistics; downstream customers cover fast-food chains, group meals, supermarkets, food processors and export buyers; live broiler average price is about 7.0–8.0 yuan/kg, gross margin ranges 8%–20% across segments, featuring high feed conversion, short cycle and large-scale intensive production.

As a core segment of global livestock breeding and meat supply, the broiler industry covers the entire industrial chain of breeding, processing, transportation and sales, and is an important pillar of global protein supply. Its global development is closely linked to multiple global trends, including population growth, dietary structure upgrading, industrial technology iteration and policy support. Global population growth and economic recovery in emerging markets are the core drivers. The population expansion and the increase in residents’ disposable income in emerging regions such as Asia and Africa have promoted the optimization of dietary structure. Due to its nutritional advantages of high protein and low fat, broiler has become the preferred protein source to replace red meat, driving the continuous release of consumer demand. The characteristics of short breeding cycle and strong adaptability of broilers, combined with the popularization of large-scale breeding technology, automated equipment and epidemic prevention and control technology, promote the industry to transform towards high efficiency and standardization, improving global supply capacity. The expansion of the global catering chain and prepared food industry further broadens the consumption scenarios of broilers, driving the growth of demand for processed broiler products. At the same time, the improvement of national agricultural support policies and food security systems supports the stable development of the industry. The global layout of leading enterprises promotes the optimal allocation of industrial chain resources and activates global market vitality.

Despite the steady expansion of the global broiler industry scale and the continuous strong market demand, the high-quality development of the industry still faces many challenges. Epidemic prevention and control pressure runs through the entire industrial chain. The global spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza and other epidemics not only leads to losses in the stock of breeding ends, but also triggers consumer panic, and at the same time intensifies trade restrictions, affecting the stability of the global supply chain. Feed price fluctuations and cost control problems are prominent. The price fluctuations of core feed raw materials directly affect breeding profits, and small and medium-sized breeding entities have weak risk resistance and difficulty in coping with cost pressure. Global industry standards and trade barriers restrict development. There are differences in food safety, animal welfare and environmental protection standards in different regions. Cross-border trade faces strict quarantine and certification requirements, increasing enterprise compliance costs. In addition, the industry has obvious homogeneous competition. The mid-to-low-end market has fierce price competition, compressing the R&D and upgrading space of enterprises, while the high-end products lack brand and differentiated layout. Stricter environmental policies force the upgrading of breeding and processing links, and some small and medium-sized entities are difficult to adapt to green production requirements. At the same time, regional development is unbalanced, and the industrial chain supporting and technical level of emerging markets are insufficient, further restricting the balanced and steady development of the global broiler industry.
