Market Growth Rate 2025-2033: 4.70%
The Europe compound feed market reached USD 116.27 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand steadily, attaining USD 175.79 billion by 2033. This growth reflects a compound annual growth rate of 4.70% during 2025-2033, underscoring the region’s increasing focus on sustainable feed solutions and technological integration in livestock nutrition.
Growth Drivers of the European Compound Feed Market
Shift Toward Sustainable and Plant-Based Feed Ingredients
The European feed sector is in the process of transformation due to the sustainability agenda and consumer demands of environmentally friendly activities. As stated by the European Feed Manufacturers (FEFAC), in December 2024, industrial compound feed production in the EU was 147 million tons, and it is estimated to keep growing. The European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork strategy are among the policies that require producers to switch to plant-based proteins and insect and algae-based alternatives. Not only is this movement less dependent on the traditional animal proteins such as fishmeal, it is also beneficial to biodiversity and reduces carbon emissions. Food and beverage industry by-products, including brewer grains and fruit pulp, are being used as feed more often, resulting in a decreased waste volume and in line with the principles of the circular economy.
Integration of Technology for Feed Efficiency and Traceability
In Europe, the market of compound food is being changed with the help of digitalization. Professional equipment like precision feeding systems, IoT-equipped sensors, and the blockchain-based traceability platforms are being implemented to improve efficiencies and transparency. As an illustration of this, the feed industry of Portugal which yields 4.2 million tons per year has adopted new technologies such as FeedInov and InsectERA as tools to enhance sustainable farming. Blockchain systems are in being utilized to monitor feed ingredients to their source to farm, to ensure that they comply with food safety and ethical sourcing. The technologies not only optimize nutrient intake to livestock, but also offer real-time monitoring of the animal health at reduced waste and high productivity.
Regulatory Push for Climate-Friendly Feed Production
European laws are becoming more concerned about minimizing environmental impact of livestock farming. In December 2024, the EU Member States adopted a revised Code on Green Labelling of Feed, which gives more specifications on how to reduce emissions, protect biodiversity and curb climate change. This regulation system forces feed producers to more green practices and invest on low carbon feed systems. The correspondence with the Scope 3 emissions requirements is especially important, since it guarantees the presence of sustainability in the whole supply chain. These steps are hastening the adoption of new formulations of feeds that are productive and environmentally responsible.
