Prepared or preserved poultry meat or offal market in Oceania, 2026

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the market volume for prepared or preserved poultry meat in Oceania showed notable shifts. It grew from 26.7 thousand tons in 2018 to 29.3 thousand tons in 2019, a period coinciding with robust global poultry production growth driven by attractive prices and favorable production conditions. The market then contracted to 24.3 thousand tons in 2020.

A strong rebound followed in 2021, with volume reaching 30.4 thousand tons. This increase was supported by rising imports, which helped maintain supply amid global avian influenza outbreaks that constrained poultry production. The market subsequently declined to 27.7 thousand tons in 2022, pressured by sharply higher animal feed costs resulting from international commodity market tensions and supply disruptions linked to the war in Ukraine.

Market volume eased further to 26.1 thousand tons in 2023. During this period, the industry saw increased investment in automation and a focus on developing new processed and ready-to-eat products, aligning with broader consumer trends toward convenience, quality, and animal welfare.
