India Poultry Industry- Trend Analysis & Forecasts
Description
India Poultry Industry Overview:
India is among the world’s largest producers of poultry meat and eggs, with the sector contributing materially to agri-GDP and rural jobs; in 2023 output reached ** billion eggs and ** million tonnes of poultry meat from ** billion birds slaughtered, accounting for **% of total meat and growing **% YoY. Consumption growth—strongest in urban markets—along with modern hatcheries, automated farms, and efficient feed systems underpins competitiveness, while self-sufficiency prevails aside from selective imports of premium breeds and supplements.
Primary Areas/ Elements of Research & Analysis
The report provides comprehensive and valuable insights into the supply and demand dynamics of the India poultry industry. Below are the variables considered and analyzed in the report:
• Supply-demand trends, market growth, and trade
• Market structure, conduct, and performance analysis
• Historical and forecasted market size (volume & value)
• Trade analysis (export & import), including key partners, quantities, values, and price trends
• Supply chain mapping, pricing, and regulatory framework
• Competitive landscape profiling of key players
• Factors influencing market performance, including sustainability trends
Market Growth Factors
Demand is propelled by the shift to affordable, protein-rich diets where poultry has overtaken red meats, supported by rising disposable incomes and middle-class expansion. On the supply side, integrated operations spanning breeding, feed, farming, processing, and distribution (e.g., Suguna, Venky’s, Godrej Agrovet, Skylark, Sneha) lift productivity, while government programs such as the National Livestock Mission, wider biosecurity adoption, and tailored feeds improve feed conversion and flock health. Export opportunities to the Middle East and Southeast Asia add incremental volume and value.
Market Restraints & Challenges
Key constraints include disease risks (e.g., avian influenza), volatile feed inputs (maize, soybean), and financing gaps for smallholders that raise operating costs and limit scale. Cold-chain deficits, rural transport bottlenecks, and uneven processing capacity drive spoilage and quality variability; regulatory compliance and food-safety upgrades add costs, while environmental pressures around waste management and litter disposal intensify scrutiny.
Market Segmentation
Production is split between commercial systems at **% of birds and backyard flocks at **%, with commercial units supplying most chilled/frozen and processed lines while backyard output feeds local wet markets. Value pools span breeding & hatcheries (imported genetics plus exports of hatching eggs/DOC), feed (premixes, stage-specific rations, rising exports to neighbors), health (vaccines, probiotics, biosecurity services), processing (RTE/RTC, frozen, deli), and products/by-products (fresh cuts, nuggets, broths, offal, feather/blood/bone meals, fat for feed/biofuel, and manure for fertilizer/biogas).
Competitive Landscape
The industry is fragmented but consolidating around integrated leaders—Suguna Foods, Venky’s, Godrej Tyson/Agrovet, CP Foods, IB Group, Skylark, Shanthi Feeds—backed by nationwide breeding, feed mills, contract farming, and branded retail; health and input players such as Hester, Zoetis, Virbac, Indian Immunologicals, Zydus, and Ceva deepen the ecosystem. Private regional processors and cooperatives compete on locality and specialty (organic/free-range), while e-commerce and modern retail expand reach for packaged poultry.
Outlook
Through 2030, steady growth is expected as domestic consumption rises, exports broaden, and automation, genetics, tailored nutrition, and antibiotic-free offerings scale; policy focus on cold-chain expansion, disease surveillance, and traceability should unlock efficiency. With eggs at ** billion and meat at ** million tonnes as a base, integrated supply chains, sustainability investments, and resilient biosecurity will determine gains in yield, quality, and market access across India and key MENA/ASEAN corridors.
Scope of the Report:
• Historical Years: 2018-2022
• Base Year: 2023
• Forecast Period: 2024-2032
• Units: Value (US$ Million) and Volume (Thousand Tonnes)
• Report Coverage: Production, Consumption, Export, and Import
• Segments Covered:
Poultry Farming (Domestic Production)
Poultry Feed
Poultry Breeding & Hatchery
Poultry Health
Poultry Processing
Poultry Products & By Products
Poultry Products Distribution & Consumption
• Companies Profiled: The market players include, Venky’s, Suguna Foods, Godrej Agrovet, Skylark Hatcheries, IB Group, Shanthi Feeds, CP Foods, Sneha Farms, Hester Biosciences, Pioneer Poultry, Cargill India, Japfa Comfeed, Virbac India, Indian Immunologicals, Zydus Animal Health, Ceva Animal Health, Biovet India, Nippon Seiyaku, Glamac International Private Limited, Shalimar Hatcheries Limited, Srinivasa Hatcheries, Hitech Hatcheries, and Others.
Please note: It will take 8-10 business days to deliver the report upon receipt the order.
