Poultry - Broilers: Market Size & Forecast 2026

The global poultry-broiler market sits at approximately USD 350 billion in 2025 (base year), held in a balanced-to-soft supply state as North American liveweights drift higher while Asian and Latin American capacity additions continue at a 2-3% annual pace. Feed cost remains the dominant swing factor, with corn and soybean meal jointly accounting for an estimated 65-72% of finished live-bird cost; the category is feedstock-anchored at its core, and 2026 buying outcomes will turn more on USDA crop balance sheets than on any single processor's commercial team. > Synthesised from secondary and publicly verifiable sources via Claight Category Watch:
