India Poultry and Hatchery Market to Grow with a CAGR of 8.34% through 2030F

Technological integration for precision poultry farming and increasing focus on poultry genetics & breeding is expected to drive the India Poultry and Hatchery Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “India Poultry and Hatchery Market - By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the India Poultry and Hatchery Market stood at USD 1.23 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 1.98 Billion with a CAGR of 8.34% through the forecast period. Contract farming is emerging as a transformative model in India’s poultry sector, offering a win-win solution for both large integrators and small-scale farmers. This collaborative approach enables integrators—large companies or organizations involved in poultry production to work closely with farmers by providing necessary inputs, technical guidance, and market access. Under this model, integrators supply farmers with day-old chicks, high-quality feed, vaccines, and veterinary support, while the farmers focus on rearing the poultry under specified guidelines. One of the significant advantages of contract farming is risk mitigation for farmers. Traditionally, small-scale poultry farmers face uncertainties such as fluctuating feed costs, volatile market prices, and disease outbreaks, which can severely impact their income. Contract farming helps shield farmers from such risks by offering fixed returns or pre-determined payment terms, regardless of market conditions. The financial security encourages farmers to adopt modern poultry rearing practices and enhances their participation in the value chain. 

For integrators, contract farming ensures a reliable and consistent supply of poultry, which is critical for meeting the demands of growing consumer markets. This model also facilitates better control over production quality and biosecurity standards, as farmers adhere to protocols set by the integrators. Improved traceability throughout the production process aligns with increasing consumer demand for safe and hygienic poultry products. The scalability of this model has driven its widespread adoption across India, particularly in regions with high poultry production like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. By reducing operational costs and optimizing resource allocation, contract farming has contributed to the efficiency of the poultry sector. The government’s push to promote organized farming practices, combined with the availability of credit and infrastructure, has further strengthened the adoption of this model. Contract farming is increasingly seen as a sustainable and inclusive approach that integrates small-scale farmers into a larger, more profitable supply chain, driving growth and innovation in India’s poultry sector.

The India Poultry and Hatchery Market is segmented into type, sales channel, regional distribution, and company.

Based on type, the broiler/meat segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing type in the India poultry and hatchery market. This growth is primarily driven by the rising demand for chicken meat as an affordable and protein-rich dietary option among the country’s expanding middle-class population. With changing lifestyles and increasing health consciousness, more consumers are shifting toward lean meat like chicken, which is widely regarded as healthier compared to red meats such as mutton and pork. Urbanization has further accelerated the demand for broiler meat, supported by the proliferation of quick-service restaurants (QSRs), fast food chains, and cloud kitchens offering chicken-based dishes. The convenience of processed and ready-to-cook chicken products has also fueled consumer interest, particularly in urban areas. Broiler production aligns well with this trend, offering short rearing cycles, rapid weight gain, and high feed conversion efficiency, making it a cost-effective and scalable segment for producers. Technological advancements in broiler hatcheries, including precision incubation, improved genetic breeding, and optimized feeding strategies, have significantly enhanced production efficiency. Contract farming models adopted by major poultry integrators ensure a steady supply of quality broilers, further boosting growth..

Based on region, North India is second dominating and  is anticipated to be  fastest growing region in the Indian Poultry and Hatchery Market. North India has experienced significant growth in population and urbanization, leading to an increased demand for poultry products such as chicken and eggs. As income levels rise and dietary preferences change, there is a growing demand for protein-rich foods like poultry products. There has been substantial investment in poultry farming and hatchery infrastructure in North India. This includes modernization of farms, adoption of advanced technologies in poultry management, and improved supply chain logistics. These investments have enhanced efficiency and productivity in the region. Government policies and initiatives to promote poultry farming and animal husbandry in North India have played a role in driving growth. This could include subsidies, training programs, and infrastructure development support for farmers and entrepreneurs in the poultry sector. North India generally has a climate that is conducive to poultry farming. The region experiences diverse weather patterns, including cold winters and hot summers, which are suitable for different aspects of poultry production. The market dynamics in North India, including factors such as consumer preferences, market competition, and distribution networks, have likely contributed to the growth of the poultry and hatchery industry in the region. Changing consumer preferences towards healthier protein sources and increased awareness about the nutritional benefits of poultry products have boosted demand in North India. North India's proximity to major urban centers and transportation networks also enhances its potential for accessing export markets, further driving growth in the poultry sector.

“The increasing awareness of health and wellness among consumers is significantly driving demand for organic and antibiotic-free poultry products in India. This trend is fueled by concerns over the excessive use of antibiotics in conventional poultry farming, which has been linked to antibiotic resistance in humans. Consumers are now prioritizing food safety and are more inclined to purchase poultry products perceived as healthier and more natural.  Producers in the poultry sector are actively responding to this shift by reducing or eliminating antibiotics in their farming practices. Instead, they are adopting alternative approaches to ensure disease prevention and growth enhancement in poultry. These methods include the use of probiotics, prebiotics, herbal supplements, and essential oils, which not only boost immunity in birds but also improve gut health and overall performance. Biosecurity measures and improved management practices are being implemented to maintain healthy flocks without reliance on antibiotics. Organic poultry farming is also gaining traction, where chickens are raised in natural conditions, provided organic feed, and allowed to roam freely. This ensures compliance with stringent organic certification standards, which many producers are now pursuing. Organic-certified products cater to a niche but growing market segment of consumers willing to pay a premium for high-quality and ethically produced poultry. As this trend continues, the rise of organic and antibiotic-free poultry is reshaping the industry by fostering innovation, enhancing animal welfare, and meeting the evolving demands of health-conscious consumers, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable poultry sector.”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
