In 2023, the chicken meat carcass weight in France stood at an estimated baseline prior to the forecasted values. From 2024 onwards, projections indicate a gradual increase in the carcass weight, rising from 14.49 to 14.59 in thousand tenth grams per animal by 2028. This reflects a stable year-on-year growth pattern with an increment of about 0.07-0.1% annually, indicating a consistent, albeit slight, upward trend.
Notable future trends to watch for include:
- Advancements in poultry nutrition and breeding that may further influence carcass weight improvements.
- Potential impacts of regulatory changes on poultry production and their subsequent effects on carcass weight.
- Consumer demand shifts toward more sustainably raised poultry, possibly affecting growth rates and weights.
