Ukraine is now the ninth among the largest producer of poultry meat and exported these products to 30 countries - CIS, Iran, Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia and others. The study objective is: to identify the factors influencing the formation of market conditions, market research and development of medium-term forecast of the Ukrainian market of poultry products. In the preparation of the scientific article, the following research methods were used: theoretical generalization, economic and mathematical methods, tabular, graphic and diagrammatic techniques, methods of comparative analysis, sociological and statistical techniques, surveillance techniques, system approach, method of scenarios and simulations. According to the calculations, during the 2016-2018 the forecasting fund of consumption of poultry by Ukrainian population (at a constant level of consumption of 23.3 kg / person per year during this period) with a probability of 0.98 can be reduced in comparison with 2015 by 110 thousand tons or by 10.7% due to the forecast decrease in population of the country in this period by 520 thousand people or 1.2%. Projected production volumes of chicken meat during the 2016-2018 with a probability of 0.99 can be reduced by 10 thousand tons or by 0.9%. It was found that during 2016-2018 the total projected demand for poultry eggs may be reduced to 16.99 billion pieces in Ukraine in 2016 (according to its own production – 16,920,000,000 pieces) to 14.26 billion pieces in 2018 (according to its own production – 14.22 billion pieces), or 2.73 billion units.. (16.1%) due to a possible further decline in the purchasing ability of the Ukrainians. According to analysts of the Association «Union of Poultry Breeders of Ukraine» will probably decrease the actual consumption of eggs up to 230 pieces in 2018 against actual 258 pieces per capita in 2015.
