Africa Poultry Feed Market Analysis

The Africa Poultry Feed Market size is estimated at USD 22.60 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 27.75 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.19% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • The demand for poultry products is driven by several factors, including population growth and urbanization, with many Africans sourcing their animal protein from chicken and eggs. For instance, the African population is growing rapidly, with the United Nations projecting a population of 2.5 billion by 2050. This population growth, combined with increasing urbanization and rising incomes, is driving the demand for poultry products, which is anticipated to drive demand for poultry feed during the forecast period. However, according to the FAO, Africa produces only 6.3% of the world's chicken meat production as of 2022, indicating a need to enhance production to meet increasing consumption.
  • South Africa is one of the largest poultry producers in the region. The poultry industry holds huge importance both for the economy and for supplying a source of quality protein to subsistence farmers and rural communities. For instance, South Africa is the second-largest producer of chicken meat in Africa, producing 1.8 million tonnes in 2022. However, the South African poultry industry is facing challenges due to the avian influenza outbreak. Additionally, in February 2024, the South African government introduced a temporary rebate on import tariffs for chicken meat to address potential shortages due to avian influenza outbreaks. This move has significant implications for the domestic poultry production and feed industry, which are projected to experience negative effects.
  • The African Union High-Level Panel on Emerging Technologies (APET) suggests that African countries should build innovation and technological capacity to tackle these poultry-related challenges. This can extensively expand the production capacity of poultry production across Africa. APET encourages poultry farmers to utilize innovative approaches and technologies, such as automatic water dispensers, robotics, and automated feeders are emerging as key technologies to improve poultry farming in Africa.
  • Additionally, Poultry Africa aims to increase local production, thereby decreasing import dependency. However, African countries should enhance an enabling environment for farming innovation and technologies through substantial investments, policies, and regulations. This can enable Africa to accomplish nutrition and food security.
  • Poultry farming is one of the largest livestock segments in Africa. Increasing chicken production and increasing demand for organic feed are other factors stimulating the market's growth. Poultry birds require a higher amount of nutrients, such as protein, fat, and calcium, making the application of nutritious feed and feed additives essential in the African poultry industry. Therefore, the African poultry feed market is projected to experience significant growth during the forecast period, driven by the increasing demand and improving production standards.
