The poultry processing equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.32 billion in 2024 to $4.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in global population, stringent food safety regulations, rise in consumer awareness of food safety, expansion of the poultry industry.

The poultry processing equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.16 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in urbanization, rising demand for convenience and ready-to-cook poultry products, rise in disposable income, growing fast food and restaurant chains. Major trends in the forecast period include automation and robotics integration, adoption of iot (internet of things), advanced systems for tracking and tracing, remote monitoring and maintenance, customization and specialization.

The growth of the poultry processing equipment market is expected to be propelled by the increasing consumption of processed foods. Processed food, characterized by its preparation through specialized methods aimed at preserving and ensuring safety for consumption, is witnessing rising popularity due to its easy availability. This surge in processed food consumption contributes to the heightened demand for poultry processing equipment. An example is the processed food industry in India, projected to reach half a trillion dollars by 2025, with household consumption expected to elevate India to the 5th largest global consumer by 2030. Consequently, the escalating consumption of processed foods is a driving force behind the poultry processing equipment market's growth.

The poultry processing equipment market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing consumption of poultry meat. Poultry meat, derived from various domestic avian species like chickens, turkeys, and ducks, provides high-quality animal protein and nutrient-rich food. The preference for animal protein, nutrient-rich foods, and safe meat is leading to a surge in poultry meat consumption, necessitating various equipment for healthy and secure poultry production and processing. For example, in 2022, the US Department of Agriculture or Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS) reported a substantial increase in poultry production and sales, reaching $76.89 billion, reflecting a 67% growth from the previous year. Hence, the rising consumption of poultry meat is a key driver behind the demand for poultry processing equipment.
