Europe Animal Feed Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The Europe animal feed market attained a volume of 193.18 MMT in 2024. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.30% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to attain a volume of 267.28 MMT by 2034.
Europe Animal Feed Market Growth
The European Union is expected to enter into strategic free trade agreements with other countries to minimise import dependence on a single supplier. In 2022, exports from the United States and Brazil constituted 85% of the EU’s soybean imports, an ingredient primarily used in making animal feed.
Spain is the biggest producer of animal feed in Europe, accounting for 37.5 million tons of animal feed production in 2022. The distribution of animal feed production indicates that pigs accounted for a major portion of the market share (48.49%), followed by cattle feed (20.74%), and poultry feed (19.41%).
46% of wet SCG (spent coffee grounds) generated from households and commercial settings are either incinerated or disposed of in landfills. However, with the shift towards sustainability, major market players are expected to turn wet SCG into animal feed, whose consumption can reduce methane emissions amongst cows by 20%. It can also substantially improve the fatty acid content of milk and boost its health profile.
The introduction of stringent legal regulations that ban the administration of antibiotics to animals (apart from healthcare reasons) is expected to foster better animal management practices on European farms and contribute to a higher demand for good quality animal feed over the forecast period.
