2025 Duck Population by Country
Global duck populations are distributed across many continents, but the highest concentration is found in Asia, particularly in China. China is home to the largest number of domestic ducks in the world, accounting for a significant portion of the global total due to its long history of duck farming and the popularity of duck meat and eggs in Chinese cuisine. While wild duck species are spread across North America, Europe, and other parts of Asia, the sheer volume of domesticated ducks in China makes it the leading contributor to global duck numbers. Conservation efforts continue in various regions to protect wild duck habitats, especially as wetlands face increasing threats from urbanization and climate change.
