China leads global poultry meat slaughtering, accounting for the largest volume at 15.258 billion units in 2024, followed by the United States and Brazil at 9.7872 and 6.2075 billion units respectively. Rapid growth is evident in countries like Pakistan, Indonesia, and Vietnam with year-on-year variations of 4.58%, 3.83%, and 4.52%. In contrast, declines in Malaysia, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe reflect a shrinking industry in these regions. Over the last five years, variations such as Kazakhstan's 5.98% and Angola's 6.1% underscore significant upward trends, while countries like Malawi and Zimbabwe have seen declines of -2.09% and -2.19%, respectively.
Future trends to watch for include increasing consumer demand for poultry in emerging markets, health and safety regulations impacting production in developed nations, and the potential effects of technological advancements in poultry farming. Sustainability and animal welfare practices are also expected to reshape the industry's landscape globally.
