Top 3 Companies Aiding the Poultry Market in India

Suguna Foods Private Limited, IB Group, and Skylark Hatcheries Pvt. Ltd, among others, are the major players in the India poultry market.

As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the India poultry market size reached a value of USD 28.18 billion in 2022. The industry is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% in the forecast period of 2023-2028 to reach a value of approximately USD 44.97 billion by 2028.

The market is driven by changes in the consumer food habits and the rising disposable incomes. A shift from the traditional Indian diet, which is mainly comprised of pulses and food products like vegetables and dairy products, to meet the protein requirements of the human body has led to a significant growth in the India poultry market. Also, there has been a growing awareness of health and wellness among people, which is driving the demand for a protein-rich diet. Other factors like improvements in the standards of living and patterns of lifestyle, rise in disposable incomes, rapid urbanisation and the growth of the distribution channels are also boosting the poultry market in India.

A strong growth in the food services market, which includes food chains, fast food joints, and restaurants, is leading to an increased consumption of eggs and broiler meat. The food recipes in India, be it traditional non-vegetarian food or fast food, both involves the use of broiler meats along with eggs. The thriving bakery foods market is increasing the demand for eggs as it is a commonly used ingredient in bakery foods. This is expected to create a positive outlook on the India poultry market in the forecast period.

Regionally, the markets for eggs and broilers in India are dominated by Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, respectively. Increased government efforts to expand the poultry industry in the region are considered responsible for the market expansion in these states.
