In 2023, the poultry meat carcass weight in China was recorded at 14.93 thousand tenth grams per animal. Forecasts for the years 2024 through 2028 show a slight, yet consistent decline in carcass weight, stabilizing at 14.91 from 2026 onwards. This represents a negligible year-on-year decrease of about 0.01% over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is approximately -0.03%, indicating a very gradual reduction in average carcass weight.
Future trends to watch for include improvements in poultry nutrition and management, which could arrest further decline or potentially reverse this trend. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards leaner meat could impact future carcass weights.
