Dublin, May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Poultry Processing Equipment Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global poultry processing equipment market is projected to show significant growth, expanding from $4.55 billion in 2025 to $4.87 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 6.9%, followed by a substantial increase to $6.37 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 7%. The initial growth trajectory is attributed to increased global poultry consumption, the expansion of commercial poultry farming, and heightened demand for processed meat products. The industry is also driven by the adoption of mechanized slaughtering equipment and stricter food safety standards.
Forecasts indicate a robust growth phase fueled by a rising demand for ready-to-eat poultry products, greater automation within food processing plants, and the expansion of quick service restaurant chains. Additionally, industry trends are expected to include the increasing implementation of automation in slaughtering lines, the adoption of high-capacity deboning equipment, and advancements in sanitary equipment design.
The surge in poultry meat consumption, partly due to consumer preference for high-quality animal protein, is expected to significantly drive the market. This demand necessitates efficient and hygienic processing equipment. For example, the USDA reported that the U.S. poultry sector sales increased from $67.4 billion in 2023 to $70.2 billion in 2024.
Key industry players are investing in advanced automation solutions to enhance processing efficiency and product consistency. Automation in poultry processing includes operations like singulation, sorting, packaging, and labeling, which not only reduce manual labor but also ensure compliance with hygiene standards. In November 2025, JBT Marel Corporation launched a comprehensive suite of automated processing solutions, focusing on optimizing workflows and improving product traceability.
Innovations within the sector are further underscored by strategic mergers and acquisitions, such as Foodmate B.V.’s acquisition of Barth Industrial Automation in December 2023. This move is anticipated to bolster Foodmate’s capabilities in automation hardware and software, enabling enhanced production line integration and development of cutting, deboning, and grading technologies.
Prominent companies in the poultry processing equipment market include Baader Group, Bayle S.A., Cantrell-Gainco Group Inc., JBT Corporation, and Meyn Food Processing Technology B.V., among others.
Regionally, North America dominated the market in 2025, with Asia-Pacific poised to be the fastest-growing region in the upcoming years. This market encompasses sales of various equipment including transport crates, scalding machines, defeathering machines, and cutting machines. The values within this market reflect ‘factory gate’ prices, representing goods sold by producers directly to buyers.
