China’s Big Pork Producers Increase Market Share

China’s pig industry is changing as major producers ramp up production. Plans announced by 17 publicly traded pig companies show they aim to produce a combined 217 million pigs in 2025, up 38.1 million from 2024.

The annual growth rates for these companies will range from 13.62% to 21.26%. Nine producers, including Muyuan, Wen’s Group and Twins, plan to expand their operations by more than 1 million pigs each.

Muyuan alone aims to produce up to 78 million pigs in 2025, just 10 million less than the European Union’s combined output.
