The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Poultry Processing Market witnessed significant growth during the period 2025-2031. Poultry processing involves various stages, including slaughtering, cutting, packaging, and distribution of poultry products such as chicken and turkey. The market`s expansion was driven by factors such as population growth, changing dietary habits, the rise in fast-food chains and restaurants, and the UAE increasing focus on food security and self-sufficiency.
Several factors acted as drivers for the growth of the UAE poultry processing market. Firstly, the UAE growing population and the influx of expatriates contributed to an increased demand for poultry products, as chicken and turkey are widely consumed proteins in the country. Secondly, the rising disposable incomes and changing dietary preferences of consumers towards protein-rich diets further boosted the demand for processed poultry products. Additionally, the expansion of the foodservice industry, including restaurants and fast-food chains, led to higher demand for processed poultry products.
The market also encountered specific challenges during the forecast period. One of the primary challenges was the need for compliance with stringent food safety and hygiene regulations, which increased the operational and quality control costs for poultry processing companies. Moreover, ensuring a sustainable and efficient supply chain for poultry products, including feed and live birds, posed logistical challenges. Additionally, competition from imported poultry products presented challenges for domestic poultry processors in the UAE market.
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the UAE poultry processing market. During the pandemic, the food industry faced disruptions due to lockdowns and restrictions, which affected the distribution and consumption of poultry products. However, with the UAE focus on food security and domestic production, there was a growing emphasis on self-sufficiency in poultry production. The pandemic also led to increased demand for frozen and packaged poultry products, as consumers stocked up on essentials during the initial stages of the outbreak.
Several key players dominated the UAE poultry processing market during the specified period. These companies were involved in various aspects of poultry processing, from raising and slaughtering to processing and distribution. Some of the prominent players included Al Rawdah Poultry, Emirates Modern Poultry Co. (Al Ain Farms), and Dubai Poultry Farm. These companies` strong market presence, vertical integration in the poultry value chain, and focus on product quality and food safety contributed to their significant market share in the UAE.
