The forecast for US chicken imports shows a steady increase from 153.74 million pounds in 2024 to 166.14 million pounds by 2028. This indicates a consistent growth over the forecast period. In 2023, imports were closer to 2024 levels, providing a baseline for evaluating future trends. Year-on-year growth illustrates a gradual increase, signaling a stable demand for imported chicken with a small acceleration from year to year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years suggests a moderate increase in chicken imports, projected to be around 1.6% annually.
Future trends to watch include potential fluctuations in global supply chains, evolving trade policies, and domestic demand shifts due to health trends or price changes. Monitoring these factors could impact predicted import levels, presenting opportunities for adjustments in the import market strategy.
