In 2023, the number of poultry meat processing enterprises in France stood at 259. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline, from 251 in 2024 to 218 in 2028. Year-on-year decreases are observed, with 2025 seeing a 3.2% reduction from 2024, and the trend continues uniformly until 2028, resulting in an overall 3.5% annual contraction over the five-year period. This consistent downward trend suggests structural challenges in the industry.
Future trends to watch include market consolidation, potential technological advancements, and shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources, which may further influence enterprise numbers.
