Top 10 Chicken Companies in the World
18 Dec, 2023

According to Renub Research, the Global Chicken Market was valued at US$ 312.12 Billion in 2022. Chicken is becoming an increasingly popular, with many major economies, from Brazil to China. Poultry has become the world's most widely consumed livestock commodity, particularly in developing and emerging markets. Chicken holds universal acceptance, devoid of notable religious or cultural constraints, and its cost-effectiveness enhances accessibility across diverse income brackets, particularly during periods of inflation. As a pivotal protein for global food security, chicken is affordable, sustainable, easily obtainable, and a healthy dietary choice. Its widespread acceptance solidifies its role in ensuring future food security worldwide. The poultry industry is increasing yearly, thanks to its technician sector, use of technologies, animal welfare improvements, and optimization of poultry farm infrastructure.

The cost of producing and purchasing other animal proteins is significantly rising. However, the cost of producing chicken has decreased to a third of what it was 30 years ago, while the production cost of other animal proteins is increasing. Due to notable progress in crucial aspects like feed efficiency, liability, health, welfare, and meat yield, chicken has become cost-effective for consumers and financially rewarding for farmers. This is evident even in the face of escalating input expenses such as feed and fuel costs. Chicken is a rich source of protein and essential nutrients required for building strong bones and tissues, especially in young children. In just a single serving of 300 grams, chicken provides the recommended daily allowance of all essential amino acids within 300 calories. It is also high in niacin, vitamin B6, selenium, and other nutrients. With just 3.57 grams per 100 grams, it has the lowest fat content among all land-based animal meats (lower than soybeans). The projected value for the Global Chicken Market is US$ 429.11 Billion by 2028, with an anticipated industry growth at a CAGR of around 5.45% from 2022 to 2028.
