Higher consumption of poultry meat than red meat and the United States is globally largest producer of eggs and poultry meat is driving the demand for poultry production
- The North American poultry industry experienced significant growth over the last five years, with the poultry headcount increasing by 5.0% from 2017 to 2022. This growth is largely due to the increasing demand for poultry meat and other poultry products. The United States dominates the North American poultry industry as the world's largest producer and second-largest exporter of poultry meat, as well as a major egg producer. The United States accounted for 62.0% of the region's total poultry production in 2022. The high-profit margin in the industry is attracting new poultry producers, leading to an increase in the number of producers in the region. For example, the number of egg producers in Canada increased from 1,062 in 2016 to 1,205 in 2021.
- Poultry birds, especially broiler meat, are produced in large quantities due to their quick maturity and market weight, which is faster than other livestock. Poultry birds, including broilers, can be raised in small spaces, making it possible for producers to raise poultry in a variety of environments, including small plots of land. These advantages make poultry production more feasible. As a result, Mexican poultry production increased by 12% in 2022 from the previous year.
- Poultry meat consumption is significantly higher than that of beef or pork. More people are choosing poultry as a leaner, healthier source of protein due to the rising health risks linked to eating red meat. This trend is expected to continue, driving the growth of the poultry industry in the region. The increasing demand for poultry products from both domestic and international markets and rising poultry production are expected to further drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Expansion of retail industry, and demand for high-quality seafood is increasing the demand for macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients rich aquaculture feed
- Aquaculture feed production in the North American region accounted for a small fraction of global production, representing only 3.8% in 2022. However, the demand for diverse seafood products is driving local production, and feed production grew by 9.2% between 2017 and 2022. In response to the increasing demand for nutritionally balanced feed, feed millers in the region are expected to increase production from 2.2 million metric tons in 2022 to 2.6 million metric tons in 2029. The compound feed offered to aquaculture species contains the macro- and micronutrients needed for healthy growth under intensive rearing conditions, which is contributing to the increased demand for aquaculture feed in the region.
- Fish, which accounted for 73.2% of feed production in 2022, is the most prominent species in terms of feed production. The rising awareness of the health benefits of fish in the human diet, changing food consumption patterns, the expansion of the retail sector, and high demand in the international market are contributing to the growth of fish production in the region. Fish feed production is expected to increase from 1.6 million metric tons in 2022 to 1.9 million metric tons in 2029 as producers focus on nutritional management to ensure the health and performance of their animals.
- Canada's aquaculture producers spent USD 393.8 million on feed in 2020, a 6.6% increase from 2016, demonstrating the increasing demand for high-quality aquatic food. Overall, the increasing demand for diverse seafood products and the need for nutritionally balanced feed for aquaculture species are expected to drive the growth of aquaculture feed production in the North American region in the coming years.
