In 2023, the broiler meat consumption in China stood at approximately 14.00 million metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady, albeit modest, increase in consumption, projecting an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 0.84% per year. Year-on-year, the consumption grows from 14.12 million metric tons in 2024 to 14.61 million metric tons by 2028, indicating a stable demand trajectory for broiler meat, driven by dietary shifts and urbanization.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of health trends on meat consumption, possibly favoring poultry over red meat.
- Policy changes related to food security and agricultural subsidies affecting supply.
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based protein alternatives.
