The India poultry market was valued at USD 32.93 Billion in 2025. Digitally integrated cold chain logistics, especially for tier 1 and 2 poultry suppliers, are allowing real-time temperature monitoring, reducing spoilage, enhancing safety, and boosting trust among institutional buyers and QSR chains. As a result, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.10% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 71.75 Billion by 2035.
The fast-paced growth in the market is also supported by innovation, government incentives and changing dietary patterns. As of FY23, India observed 7.3% CAGR in egg production and ranks fifth in broiler meat production globally, with over 9.77 million tonnes of broiler meat produced annually. The government’s National Livestock Mission (NLM) and Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF) are making large investments into infrastructure and breeding technology, transforming the India poultry market dynamics. In addition, according to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) data, in FY 2023, India's urban household grocery expenditure patterns showed significant investments in processed foods. Processed food expenditures were the highest at 10.5%, indicating a growing preference for convenience foods and indirectly boosting the market growth.
Moreover, agri-tech startups like Eggoz and Happy Hens are reshaping last-mile delivery, cold-chain management, and traceability, accelerating the India poultry market development. With India’s urban population growing rapidly, demand for protein-rich diets has surged, fuelling the growth of organised poultry. This is shifting the market from fragmented backyard farming to vertically integrated, technology-backed poultry enterprises focused on hygiene, scale and sustainability.

Forecast Period
India is one of the largest producers of eggs and broilers due to its large poultry farming base, favourable climate, and low labour, feed, and infrastructure costs. As of 2024, the country boasted an annual production of over 140 billion eggs and approximately 4.5 million tonnes of broiler meat per year. With India’s poultry production scaling continuously, investments in cold storage facilities, slaughterhouses, and processing plants are expected to surge in the forecast period.
There is a high per capita availability of eggs in India, attributed to its affordability, rising consumption of protein, availability of agricultural by-products, improved distribution networks, and growing consumer awareness regarding the nutritional benefits of eggs. In 2021-22, the per capita availability of eggs was at 95 eggs per annum. This high per capita egg availability is encouraging producers to expand their production capacities to meet diverse customer needs.
The introduction of favourable government initiatives promoting poultry farming in the country is boosting the India poultry market revenue. For instance, under the National Livestock Mission, the Indian government directs 50% subsidies to establish Poultry Farms with Hatcheries and brooder mother units. Such initiatives are expected to encourage farmers to adopt efficient and modern technologies for ensuring better yields, improving the health of birds, and maintaining biosecurity.
Leading India poultry market players like Suguna, Venky’s and Skylark dominate the upstream operations, while a new wave of D2C startups and agritech firms is redefining downstream efficiency. Players are now focusing on traceability, disease resilience, and export certifications. Opportunities are growing in value-added food products, branded SKUs, and low-antibiotic meat. E-commerce integration, blockchain-led farm-to-fork tracking, and solar-powered poultry farms are gaining attention.
Additionally, partnerships between integrators and cold chain logistics firms are making B2B fulfilment more seamless. Smart farming, cold chain expansion, functional poultry, contract farming, and antibiotic-free meat are reshaping the market, making it more export-ready, technology-integrated and health-oriented. India poultry companies are also exploring halal-certified and frozen meat variants to meet GCC and ASEAN demand. The key growth areas lie in smart farming, predictive analytics, and biosecurity integration.
