Top Importers of Meat of Domestic Poultry

In 2023, Germany emerged as the leading importer of meat from domestic poultry, with imports valued at 1.57 billion USD, closely followed by the United Kingdom at 1.56 billion USD. Hong Kong and China also showed significant import figures at 1.41 and 1.29 billion USD, respectively. Japan and France imported over 1 billion USD each, highlighting strong demand. The Netherlands, UAE, and Belgium had lower import values but remained important players.

Year-on-year variations show steady growth across most countries, with Germany and the UK exhibiting marginal changes, while Hong Kong and China recorded moderate growth. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) underscores a robust demand trajectory, driven by increasing poultry consumption and trade liberalization.

Future trends to watch include the impact of food security concerns on importers like China, potential fluctuations in import tariffs, and evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and organic poultry products, which could shape import strategies and volume expectations.
