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.

Global demand for organic produce is rising substantially thanks to increasing health concerns about food. Industrywide revenue is expected to expand at an annualised 10.1% over the past five years, to total $3.8 billion in 2024-25. This trend includes anticipated growth of 11.4% in the current year, with an increase in demand from food product manufacturing and a rise in health consciousness boosting overall domestic demand for organic food. Australia has the largest area of certified organic farmland in the world, covering approximately 35.6 million hectares. Most of this land is extensive rangelands for organic cattle farming. The industry mainly consists of small operators, which makes it difficult to keep produce quantity and quality consistent. The industry remains highly fragmented, and organic farming techniques aren't as efficient as conventional farming. Higher annual rainfall over much of the past five years has supported organic farmers, from beef and sheep farmers to fruit and vegetable growers. The industry has grown strongly as organic produce consumption becomes increasingly mainstream. Supermarkets are selling an increasing number of organic products to attract health-conscious consumers. Profit margins are typically higher for organic farmers than for conventional farmers. The industry's higher profit margins are thanks to the price premium consumers are willing to pay for organic produce, which is generally considered superior to conventionally farmed produce. The industry is on track to continue expanding strongly. Rising demand in domestic and export markets is poised to drive industry revenue growth. Continued growth in disposable incomes is set to bolster consumer demand. Supermarket chains are going to increasingly stock organic products. Industry revenue is forecast to hike at an annualised 15.0% over the five years through 2029-30, to total $7.7 billion. While some supply issues may constrain industry expansion, farmers' increased use of technology and innovation in products and processes are poised to boost organic production.
