Surge in Demand for Antibiotic-Free and Free-Range Poultry Products
A major trend shaping the Australian poultry market is the growing consumer demand for antibiotic-free and free-range poultry, driven by increased health consciousness, ethical considerations, and concerns over antimicrobial resistance. In response, major retailers like Coles and Woolworths have expanded their offerings of free-range, organic, and ethically raised poultry. Producers are investing in biosecurity, vaccination programs, and alternative farming methods to reduce antibiotic use. This shift is also influencing regulatory bodies to assess stricter transparency and labeling standards. Aligned with Australia’s National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy, this movement supports reducing antibiotic use in livestock and promoting sustainable agriculture, positioning antibiotic-free and free-range poultry for continued growth through 2025 and beyond.
Growth of Value-Added and Ready-to-Eat Poultry Products
The rising preference for value-added and ready-to-eat (RTE) poultry products is playing a key role in transforming the Australian poultry market. This trend is driven by busy lifestyles, urbanization, and a shift toward convenient yet nutritious food options. Products like marinated cuts, pre-cooked chicken, poultry meal kits, and seasoned fillets are popular among time-conscious consumers seeking quick meal solutions. Major companies like Ingham's and Baiada are responding by launching innovative lines targeting health-conscious and convenience-driven consumers, including low-sodium, keto-friendly, and high-protein options. This shift reflects broader changes in Australian dietary preferences, with value-added poultry set to continue driving market growth.
