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.

Canada's Chicken Egg Production industry has grown over the five years to 2024, buoyed by the agricultural sector's supply management system. Since eggs are a staple for most Canadians, egg consumption has grown in line with the size of the domestic population. Demand for new specialty egg products with enriched qualities has also risen, bolstering industry demand. Consumers have increasingly purchased products perceived as being ethically raised, such as cage-free or free-range eggs, which garner a price premium for industry goods. Despite the pandemic's impact, industry performance did not change significantly, as downstream demand for eggs remained relatively unchanged. Overall, industry revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% to $1.9 billion over the five years to 2024, including growth of 1.6% in 2024 alone. Supply chain and weather disruptions drastically affected profitability, dropping by 6.0% between 2019 and 2024. Canadian farming has become increasingly capital-intensive, and egg producers have incorporated more technology to ensure the greatest yield for their investments. This has led to an intensification of the industry, in which smaller farms are bought and merged with larger farms to achieve economies of scale. Larger farms generate more revenue and are better financially situated to afford the constant technological upgrades necessary for survival. Yet, although the number of farms has grown slowly over the past five years, Canada's unique supply management system has helped preserve some smaller operators that would have otherwise been forced out of business. Operators can expect more modest growth over the five years to 2028. Year-on-year egg sales are expected to rise steadily as the economy fully moves beyond the pandemic. Furthermore, as per capita disposable income increases, consumers will likely buy more processed and specialty egg products at home and in restaurants. Meanwhile, research has demonstrated the nutritional benefits of egg consumption, which has been a boon to chicken egg producers. Industry revenue is projected to increase an annualized 1.5% to $2.0 billion over the five years to 2029.
