Over the next ten years, meat consumption will continue to grow and drive global production, according to the OECD/FAO Agricultural Outlook 2025-2034. Due to rapid population and income growth, 45% of global consumption growth will occur in upper-middle-income countries. However, total per capita meat consumption is expected to grow by only 3% to reach 29.3 kg in retail edible weight (REW) per capita per year, half the increase seen in the previous decade. In most high-income countries, per capita meat consumption growth will continue to slow. Over the next ten years, poultry will strengthen its dominant position in the meat sector, accounting for 62% of the total volume of additional meat produced in the coming decade.
