Demand Outlook: EU Beet Pulp to Add USD 37.5 Million in Value by 2035

EU demand is forecast to add a total of USD 37.5 million in new market value between 2025 and 2035.

.2025–2030: Sales rise from USD 83M → USD accounting for 45.5% of total decade growth
This early-period growth is driven by dairy farmers shifting toward fiber-rich, digestible feed ingredients that improve milk output.
.2030–2035: Sales climb from USD 96.6M → USD representing 54.5% of growth
Growth accelerates as advanced drying and pelletizing technologies enable longer shelf life and consistent quality.

Between 2020 and 2025, beet pulp sales rose steadily from USD 66.8M → USD 83M, demonstrating a market that has moved from treating beet pulp as a disposal challenge to a value-added commercial feed ingredient.

Why Demand Is Rising

Livestock producers are choosing beet pulp because it delivers:

.High digestible fiber for rumen health
.Palatability and balanced energy without risk of acidosis
.Measurable sustainability advantages through upcycled sugar byproducts

The EU's regulatory push for reduced carbon footprint feed ingredients is strengthening adoption. Scientific evaluations further confirm beet pulp's benefits across dairy, equine, and small ruminant feeding systems, leading feed formulators to include it in nutrition plans.
