In 2023, the US poultry meat import volume stood at approximately 136.0 thousand metric tons. The forecasted data for 2024 through 2028 demonstrates a steady annual increase, with expected volumes reaching 137.54, 138.97, 140.38, 141.75, and 143.1 thousand metric tons respectively. This indicates a year-on-year growth trend between 1% to 1.2%, reflecting a consensus of consistent demand as a driver for imports. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period leading up to 2028 is projected to be modest.
- A notable trend to watch is the impact of international trade policies, which could influence import dynamics. It will also be important to consider consumer preferences shifting towards organic and sustainably sourced poultry, potentially affecting import patterns and volumes.
