Animal Feed Production in France industry analysis

The animal feed manufacturing industry has expanded over the past five years, driven by high prices, but producers have had to adapt to a changing market environment. The industry has grappled with rising raw material costs, caused by external forces, including the Ukraine war, impacting grain and oilseed prices. The spike in ingredient prices has led companies to increase sales prices. Industry revenue has grown at a compound annual rate of 1.7% over the five years through 2025, including 4.1% in 2025 to reach €13.5 billion. France's steady push towards healthier, organic feeds has required manufacturers to diversify ingredient sourcing while improving supply chain efficiencies to keep costs low.

Trends and Insights

  • Demand for organic feed skyrockets. As awareness about animal welfare and environmental sustainability grows, more consumers are choosing organic feed, pushing producers to adopt to greener practices.
  • Demand for animal feed drops as meat consumption falls. This trend, influenced by growing flexitarian diets, means fewer animals need feeding. It's pushing the industry towards healthier, more sustainable feed options.
  • Innovation and sustainability increase market concentration. Successful feed producers gain a competitive edge by adopting advanced, eco-friendly production technologies and creating nutritionally superior products that meet both regulatory standards and demand for sustainable options.
