(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The demand for animal feed additives across the European Union is projected to increase from USD 10.8 billion in 2025 to USD 14.2 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 2.8%, according to the FMI Food Intelligence Database. The growth trajectory reflects the shift toward sustainable livestock production systems, data-driven animal nutrition, and a strong focus on feed efficiency.

A rising livestock population remains the primary driver, with volume growth projected to account for the largest contribution to market expansion during the next decade.

Steady Value Growth Supported by Consumption and Premium Additives
From 2025–2030, the market will be led mainly by volume demand due to widespread additive usage in poultry, swine, and cattle feed. Between 2030–2035, the market is expected to see a slight lift in price realization as manufacturers introduce specialized and high-value additives, including probiotics, enzymes, and vitamins.

“The EU feed additives market represents stable and predictable annual revenue opportunities-powered by nutrition science, sustainability regulations, and advanced livestock management practices.”
