Market Growth Factors

Market growth is primarily driven by Poland’s export-oriented poultry sector, which has expanded production at an average rate of **% annually, translating into feed demand growth of over 4% per year. Increasing adoption of high-performance and functional feeds is another key driver, with additive inclusion rates rising from around **% in 2015 to more than **% in 2024, enabling better feed conversion and higher margins. Additionally, over **% of poultry output is exported, structurally anchoring feed demand, while sustainability-focused and precision feed formulations are growing at a CAGR above **%, lifting overall market value growth beyond volume expansion.

Market Restraints & Challenges

The market faces margin pressure from raw material price volatility, as maize and soybean meal prices fluctuated by more than 60% between 2021 and 2023, temporarily compressing feed mill margins to below 4%. Rising regulatory compliance costs linked to EU feed safety and environmental standards have increased production costs by an estimated EUR 12–18 per ton since 2018, disproportionately impacting small and mid-sized mills. Persistent livestock disease risks, particularly African Swine Fever, have kept pig inventories 18–20% below pre-2019 levels, limiting recovery in swine feed demand and reducing diversification of feed consumption.

Market Segmentation

Poultry feed accounts for **% of total compound feed volumes, equivalent to over ** million tonnes annually, with broiler feed forming nearly **% of this segment. Swine feed represents about **% of total demand, or roughly ** million tonnes, with value growth sustained by higher additive use despite stagnant volumes. Cattle feed contributes close to **%, mainly driven by dairy operations where per-animal feed expenditure has increased by 3–4% annually due to quality upgrades. By form, pelleted feed dominates with more than **% share, reflecting efficiency gains and lower wastage compared to mash and crumble formats.

Competitive Landscape

The Poland compound feed market is moderately consolidated, with the top ten producers controlling **% of total production, while smaller regional mills make up the remainder. Large players benefit from scale efficiencies that reduce per-ton production costs by **%, supported by annual R&D investments exceeding EUR 20 million across the industry. Strategic focus areas include poultry-integrated feed supply, functional and premium formulations, and sustainability-aligned sourcing, with premium feeds now contributing over **% of total feed revenues, up from 15% in 2018, highlighting ongoing value-chain upgrading.

Outlook

Looking ahead, the Poland compound feed market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of about **% through 2032, reaching an estimated value of US$ ** billion by the end of the period. Volume growth is expected to remain moderate at around **% annually, while value expansion will be driven by premiumization, higher additive inclusion, and precision feeding practices. Poultry feed is projected to exceed ** million tonnes by 2032, reinforcing Poland’s position as a cost-efficient and export-oriented feed hub within Europe, with a structurally positive long-term outlook.
