Chicken meat is one of the most widely consumed and versatile meats in the world. This article explores the top import markets for chicken meat based on import value data. China leads as the largest importer, followed by the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and Hong Kong SAR. These markets are driven by factors such as changing consumption patterns, increasing population, growing tourism, and thriving foodservice industries.
The global chicken meat market is projected to reach $262 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.4%.
In December 2021, the chicken price peaked at $2.74 per kg, gaining 17% from a month earlier. The average annual figure is forecast to rise from $2.26 per kg last year to $2.30 per kg in 2022.
Since the start of 2021, prices in the global chicken meat market shot up as a result of high demand, rising costs for feed grain and food as well as a decreasing rate of chicken slaughter in the EU, South Korea and Japan. Heightened costs for shipping containers are additionally driving the growth in export prices. As of year-end 2021, worldwide production and exports of chicken meat are forecast to remain at the previous year’s level. Demand for chicken meat in China is dropping while the pig population in the country is recovering and hog prices are decreasing. Saudi Arabia’s ban on imports of chicken products from Brazil may lead to diminished exports from that country.
