The US poultry and poultry product wholesaling industry has grown through the current period, driven by strong consumer demand for poultry and eggs as affordable protein sources. Revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 1.7% to reach an expected $15.4 billion after growing by 1.0% in 2025. This expansion has been underpinned by elevated poultry and egg prices, which have remained high due to ongoing supply shortages caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), robust consumer demand and strong feed and transportation costs. Additionally, trade tensions, particularly China’s shift to Brazilian poultry and the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by both China and Canada, have the potential to limit US export opportunities and lead to more products staying in the domestic market, contributing to market volatility and uncertainty. High poultry prices have raised purchase costs for wholesalers since 2020, introducing significant risk when market conditions shift rapidly. The volatility in egg and poultry prices has made it challenging for wholesalers to adjust their own prices quickly enough, leading to periods where wholesaler profit is squeezed despite higher revenues. This environment has been especially difficult for smaller distributors, who often lack the flexibility and resources to absorb sudden cost increases or pass them on to customers. As a result, the industry has seen a marked trend toward consolidation, with larger, more technologically advanced broadline distributors gaining market share and leveraging their scale to better manage volatility and maintain profitability. Looking ahead, consolidation is expected to continue as wholesalers seek greater efficiency and resilience and as the industry starts to contract. With poultry and egg production set to recover from recent disease outbreaks, prices for these products are likely to trend downward, resulting in reduced revenues for wholesalers even as volumes rise. Climate change poses additional challenges, threatening poultry health and feed crops and creating significant supply risks for wholesalers. However, the growing demand for organic, cage-free and free-range product varieties presents new revenue opportunities for wholesalers to add more high-value, high-margin products into their inventories. Wholesalers that can adapt in the coming years by diversifying into these specialty product categories, securing flexible supply agreements and embracing operational efficiency technological improvements will be best positioned for success. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to decline at a CAGR of 1.6% to reach $14.2 billion in 2030.

Farmers in the Poultry Meat and Egg Farming industry have faced challenging operating conditions over the past few years, despite strong ongoing demand among New Zealand households for chicken and eggs. Rising health consciousness has led many consumers to replace red meat with leaner sources of protein, which has lifted chicken's popularity in New Zealand. Disruptions to downstream demand added significant uncertainty during the pandemic as restrictions hampered the hospitality sector's performance, weakening demand for chicken and eggs. Higher prices and growing retail spending have offset these trends, allowing egg and poultry producers to drive up revenue per farmgate sale. While egg and poultry farmers have benefited from improved farmgate prices and greater retail spending, these benefits have been offset by rising production costs. Overall, industry revenue is expected to dip at an annualised 0.7% over the five years through 2025-26 to $884.5 million. This trend includes an anticipated slump of 2.1% in 2025-26, due to cost-of-living pressures in New Zealand and the recent avian influenza outbreak. Regulatory changes have caused a seismic shift in the industry. The Ministry for Primary Industries (Manatū Ahu Matua) altered the Animal Welfare Act 1999 to update the Animal Welfare (Layer Hens) Code of Welfare in December 2012. This update banned installing new battery cages for laying hens and started phasing out all existing battery cages by 1 January 2023. According to the latest data in June 2024, conventional cage farming currently accounts for only a small percentage of the layer hen flock, down from 67.0% in 2016 to 10.0% in late 2022, with additional drops expected as colony, barn and free-range systems become the industry standard. Farmers have invested heavily in modernising facilities to meet these standards, costs that are largely passed on to consumers through higher egg prices. While retail demand remains robust, higher operating expenses continue to erode overall industry profitability. Poultry consumption will continue rising over the coming years. Cost pressures on farmers are set to ease, which will bolster farmers' ability to boost output, contributing to an increase in poultry consumption and egg production. Strong competition in downstream processing markets will fuel a drop in prices, which will boost poultry and egg consumption in New Zealand. Despite this, lower prices may also hamper industrywide turnover, causing revenue to dampen at an annualised 0.9% through the end of 2030-31, to $844.2 million.
