Rising urbanization and internet penetration propelling market sales
- The overall sales of poultry meat through off-trade channels increased by 1.68% from 2021 to 2022. In the Asia-Pacific market, China dominated poultry meat sales by value, accounting for more than 40% of the market in 2022. The demand increased as, in 2018, the African Swine Fever's (ASF) influence on pork pushed people to consume more poultry meat. Imports from Brazil, Thailand, Poland, and Russia also increased by 32% in 2019 compared to 2018, which helped lower poultry prices and increased availability. The sales of poultry meat through foodservice establishments and other off-trade distribution channels have also increased due to increased disposable incomes, which have risen by two times in the past two years.
- In 2022, the on-trade segment was dominating among distribution channels for the sales of poultry meat. It registered a hike of 10.3% in sales value from 2020 to 2022. The Asian market is dominated by a number of hotels, restaurants, and institutions (HRI). China itself accounted for more than 9.3 million catering outlets, recording a 1.2% rise from 2021 to 2022. Due to these factors, the on-trade segment holds the major share value.
- During the forecast period (2023-2029), online channels are projected to witness the fastest-growing CAGR value of 7.43% among off-trade channels. This is due to the increasing number of internet users, which reached around 2.96 billion as of 2021 in Asia-Pacific. Grocery delivery sites like BigBasket and Grofers in India and Amazon have gained popularity due to their advanced delivery systems and payment methods, which are propelling the segment's growth. Even on-trade channels are shifting to hybrid models, including having an online presence, further driving the market.

Consumption of poultry meat rising in the region due to increased production
- In the Asia-Pacific market, the overall sales value of poultry meat registered a CAGR of 4.10% by value during 2017-2022. This increase was primarily due to the rising consumption of meat across the region, especially in Southeast Asia and Oceania. The staple diets in these countries include carbohydrates and protein in the form of meat, primarily poultry. In 2021, 11 Asia-Pacific countries together produced more than a million metric tons of chicken meat, with China leading the way by producing 14.7 million metric tons of chicken meat. Moreover, Asia-Pacific produces smaller birds, with about 40% of chickens being processed.
- China accounted for the largest volume share in the Asia-Pacific poultry meat market in 2022. The chicken industry in China has expanded due to the severe protein shortage caused by the African Swine Fever outbreak. Over the past few years, however, Chinese use of pigs for food dropped precipitously due to the African Swine Fever that ravaged livestock. As a result, the production and consumption of chicken meat in China grew by 12% in 2021. Poultry, which is perceived as a healthier option, ranks number two on China’s meat menu, with 25 million tons consumed in 2021.
- India is expected to become the fastest-growing market in Asia-Pacific. It is projected to witness a CAGR of 3.61% in terms of value during the forecast period. The consumption volume of poultry in India increased by 19.8% during the review period (2017-2022). The price of poultry meat is also relatively stable and reasonable compared to other meat types. The increasing number of meat delivery companies in the country, like TenderCuts, Meatigo, and Licious, is largely contributing to the growth of poultry meat consumption.
