Vietnam’s poultry market size is projected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.18% during 2025-2033, according to the latest report by market research firm Imarc Group.
The country’s poultry industry is growing steadily. This growth stems from three key factors:
- increased demand for poultry products
- new technology
- government support
Drivers
The growth of Vietnam’s poultry market comes from higher demand at home. It is also driven by urbanization and more people eating protein-rich foods.
With over 100 million people, the country’s poultry consumption has soared. This is especially true in cities. Busy lives need easy and affordable protein, like chicken meat and eggs.
The market also has gained from government support. The government’s policies are promoting better farming practices and biosecurity to help prevent diseases like avian influenza. And this change, in turn, will help meet the growing demand.
Despite challenges including changing feed prices, disease outbreaks, and competition from imported poultry, the market outlook is still bright.
Key producers are investing in new technologies, vertical integration, and sustainability. These efforts aim to boost productivity and meet both domestic and export needs.
Food safety
A new trend in Vietnam’s poultry market is the rising interest in food safety because consumers want quality and traceability. This change comes from increased health awareness and higher disposable incomes.
Consumers are showing a growing interest in organic, free-range, and antibiotic-free poultry. As such, producers need to follow stricter quality standards. They must also ensure supply chain transparency.
E-commerce and modern retail have become key drivers of growth. They give consumers easier access to a wider range of poultry products.
Export opportunities
Export opportunities for Vietnamese poultry are booming due to competitive prices and better quality standards.
These improvements are especially appealing to nearby Asian markets and the Middle East.
New processing and packaging methods have boosted Vietnamese poultry’s global recognition. Branding efforts also played a key role.
However, the industry faces trade barriers and strict export rules. Therefore, it must:
- modernize to remain competitive
- balance local demand and export goals
- embrace global trends in sustainability and food safety
