Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the market volume for chicken meat and offal in Australia and New Zealand increased consistently in physical terms, rising from 1 397 thousand tons to 1 505 thousand tons. In value terms, the market experienced a dip in 2019 to 1 990 million US dollars before recovering to 2 466 million US dollars in 2021.

The market continued to expand, reaching 1 579 thousand tons and 3 090 million US dollars by 2023. A key development was the industry's shift from predominantly frozen whole chicken to fresh products, including pieces and ready-to-cook items, driven by changing consumer preferences for convenience and freshness. This adaptation supported both volume growth and the substantial value increase, as fresh products often command higher prices.
