Poultry Vaccines - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026-2031)

The poultry vaccine market was valued at USD 2.29 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 2.49 billion in 2026 to reach USD 3.82 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 8.92% during the forecast period (2026-2031). The global poultry vaccine market continues its upward trajectory as regulatory reform converges with disease pressure to redefine producer priorities. A closer examination of the 2024 landscape shows that Infectious Bronchitis vaccines retain a 23.1 % disease-segment share, yet Avian Influenza preparations are poised to accelerate at a 9.4 % CAGR between 2025 and 2030. Every time producers update their biosecurity budgets, they now weigh the indirect cost of regulatory non-compliance against the direct cost of vaccination, a calculation that has begun to favor preventive immunization in most commercial models.

Global Poultry Vaccines Market Trends and Insights

Regulatory Push to Replace Antibiotics with Preventive Vaccination

Mounting antimicrobial-resistance concerns have prompted the US Food & Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine to intensify pre-approval scrutiny of in-feed drugs while formally encouraging vaccination as an alternative route to compliance. In parallel, the European Medicines Agency is phasing in residue-monitoring protocols that make antibiotic-free certification commercially valuable. Integrated producers are therefore renegotiating feed contracts to reflect lower antibiotic volumes, releasing working capital that is rapidly redeployed into biologics purchasing. The strategic benefit extends to export-oriented operators, who leverage vaccination records to streamline customs clearance and shorten cash-conversion cycles.

Rapid Expansion of Vertically-Integrated Broiler Operations in ASEAN

. South and Southeast Asia’s vertically integrated broiler systems are scaling at an estimated 4 %-5 % per year through 2030. The operational insight emerging from the region is that integrators are beginning to specify vaccine serotypes directly in grow-out contracts, thereby transferring some biological-risk responsibility upstream to suppliers. This practice is quietly shifting the balance of power in price discussions from distributors toward international vaccine brands that can guarantee strain-specific supply continuity.

Emergence of Variant IBV Serotypes Undermining Existing Bronchitis Vaccines

Mutation of IBV strains hastens product obsolescence. Manufacturers with agile seed-strain update capabilities are capturing multiyear supply agreements, locking in share before slower rivals can reformulate. Data from regional labs highlight an uptick in cross-protection failures, driving integrators to diversify brand portfolios to de-risk supply continuity. This fragmentation rewards suppliers able to deliver multiplex diagnostics that pinpoint serotype prevalence in near-real time.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

• Increasing Incidences of Poultry and Zoonotic Diseases
• Improvements in Vectored and Combination Vaccinations
• Heightened Regulatory Review of Viral-Vector Vaccines in China

Segment Analysis

The 22.85% market share of Infectious Bronchitis vaccines in 2025 underscores their role as table stakes for commercial producers. Variant turnover forces suppliers into more frequent seed-stock updates than for most other poultry diseases. The operational takeaway is that vendors able to synchronize strain updates with integrator production cycles gain negotiating leverage on multiyear supply agreements.

Live attenuated offerings hold 35.40 % share today, but vector technologies are projected to expand at 9.25 % CAGR through 2031. An emerging pattern shows integrators treating vector vaccines as a hedge against tightening residue regulations, positioning them not only as a health product but also as a compliance instrument.

Breeder-flock vaccination commands 44.30 % of 2025 revenues. Because every vaccinated breeder protects multiple downstream generations, GCC sovereign food-security funds now evaluate vaccine spend in terms of protein-security ROI, effectively bundling biologics purchases into national resilience budgets.

Geography Analysis

North America retains a 33.50% market share in 2025. USDA indemnity payouts totaling USD 1.1 billion highlight the fiscal magnitude of HPAI. Insurers have begun to model policy premiums on whether a farm participates in USDA-approved vaccination programs, effectively turning vaccines into quasi-financial instruments that influence coverage costs.

Asia is the fastest-growing region with an 9.48 % CAGR outlook for 2026-2031. China’s historic 73 % avian-influenza vaccination coverage has prompted local labs to develop accelerated viral-evolution monitoring systems. Those surveillance assets double as competitive intelligence, allowing regional manufacturers to iterate vaccines ahead of global peers.

Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East each display distinct triggers for vaccine uptake, from welfare regulations to export-market access requirements. Brazil’s export-oriented producers increasingly view vaccination status as a tariff-mitigation tool, whereas GCC buyers fold vaccine clauses directly into long-term feed import contracts to ensure continuity of local protein supplies.
