The forecast for broiler meat consumption per capita in the US shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with consumption rising from 49.76 kg to 50.95 kg. This growth indicates a positive trend in consumer demand for broiler meat. In 2023, per capita consumption was slightly lower, indicating a consistent, modest increase in years following. The year-on-year growth rate stays relatively stable, with each subsequent year experiencing a moderate increase. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects this gradual upward trend as well.
Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based proteins, which may impact meat consumption. Additionally, economic factors like inflation and income changes could influence purchasing power and dietary choices, affecting broiler meat demand. Consideration of environmental sustainability and its impacts on meat production may also play a role in shaping consumption patterns.
