Global Poultry Production Is Rising, And Is Expected To Reach 104.9 Million Tons in 2025

Against the backdrop of the ever-changing global economic landscape, the poultry industry, as a relatively active sector in the agricultural field, is showing strong growth momentum.

According to forecast data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), global poultry production is expected to increase by 2% in 2025, reaching a record 104.9 million tons. This data not only reflects the current good development trend of the poultry industry, but also indicates that the industry will occupy a more important position in the global food supply system in the future.

1. Major producing countries drive production growth

1.1 As a major poultry farming country, China plays a key role in the growth of global poultry production. In 2024, China's white-feathered broiler industry continued to expand, with a significant increase in production in the first half of the year, and this trend is expected to continue until 2025.

1.2 China has achieved remarkable results in breeding technology innovation, large-scale breeding promotion, and industrial chain integration. Advanced automated breeding equipment improves breeding efficiency, precise feed formula ensures the healthy growth of poultry, and scientific disease prevention and control system reduces breeding risks, all of which provide solid support for production growth.

1.3 The US broiler industry also performed well. Its production is expected to increase by 2% to 21.7 million tons in 2025.

1.4 The United States has a mature breeding system, advanced breeding technology and a complete industrial chain, which makes it highly competitive in broiler production. Large-scale farms use modern management models to achieve efficient production. While meeting domestic market demand, they are also exported in large quantities to all parts of the world.

1.5 The Brazilian Animal Protein Association predicts that Brazil's broiler production may increase by 2.3% in 2025.

1.6 Brazil's poultry farming industry has developed rapidly with its rich agricultural resources, suitable climatic conditions and continuously improving breeding technology. In recent years, Brazil's share in the international poultry trade market has gradually expanded, and its low-cost production model and stable product quality have attracted many international buyers.

2. Driving factors behind production growth

The growth of global poultry production is the result of the combined effect of multiple factors.

2.1 From the perspective of market demand, with the growth of the global population and the improvement of residents' living standards, the demand for poultry meat continues to rise. Especially in emerging economies, such as India and Southeast Asian countries, the economic boom has driven the upgrading of residents' dietary structure, and poultry meat, as a source of high-quality protein, has seen a surge in consumption.

2.2 At the same time, the global popularity of the concept of healthy diet has made the low-fat, high-protein and low-cholesterol characteristics of poultry meat increasingly popular among consumers. Whether it is daily household consumption or the catering industry, the use of poultry meat has increased significantly.

2.3 At the technical level, the continuous advancement of poultry farming technology has provided a strong guarantee for production growth. The innovation of breeding technology has cultivated excellent varieties with fast growth and strong disease resistance; the optimization of feed formula has improved feed conversion rate and reduced breeding costs; the application of intelligent breeding equipment has achieved precise control of the breeding environment, improving breeding efficiency and poultry growth quality. For example, some farms use sensors to monitor parameters such as temperature, humidity, and air quality in poultry houses in real time, and adjust them through automated equipment to create the best environment for poultry growth.

2.4 Governments' support policies for the poultry industry have also played a positive role in promoting the industry. Many countries have increased their investment in poultry farming infrastructure construction, encouraged large-scale and standardized farming, and strengthened support for disease prevention and control, reducing farming risks and promoting the stable development of the industry.

Global poultry production is expected to reach a new high in 2025, which will bring more sufficient supply to the global food market. As the scale of poultry farming expands, the demand for advanced farming equipment will inevitably increase, contributing to the development of the global poultry industry.
