U.S. chicken production has seen steady and significant growth, starting at 30.02 billion pounds in 1999 and reaching a projected record-high 47.89 billion pounds in 2025—a 59.5% increase over this period. Despite consistent annual growth, production did not surpass 40 billion pounds until 2015, when it reached 40.14 billion pounds. Since then, the industry has continued its upward trajectory, driven by rising consumer demand, efficiency improvements, and expanding export markets. With production nearing 48 billion pounds, chicken remains the dominant protein in the U.S. market.
