The Saudi Arabian poultry market has been valued at USD 17.3 billion for the current year and is expected to register a compound annual growth rate of 4.11% over the next five years. The poultry sector is one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors due to the high consumption of poultry. Above all, there is demand for animal feed, packaging and processing equipment, as well as veterinary and logistics services.

By 2026, Saudi Arabia expects to have more than 4.5 million animals. This requires state-of-the-art technology for feed production, farm building and veterinary services .
