  • Europe stands as the world's third-largest producer of poultry meat. The European Union (EU) is a key player in the global poultry meat trade. With a strategy focused on enhancing global consumption and delivering the safest, highest-quality poultry products, the European poultry meat market is poised to see a rise in demand for poultry feed in the region.
  • According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 2024, the European Union is set to witness a 1.6% increase in chicken meat consumption, with a 0.5% rise anticipated in 2025. Data reveals that this surge in chicken consumption is closely tied to demographic growth, hinting at a modest increase in per capita consumption. The arrival of 6 million Ukrainian war refugees in Europe, alongside a steady influx of migrants from the southern hemisphere, is poised to amplify chicken meat consumption in the European Union, subsequently benefiting the poultry feed market in the region.
  • According to the USDA, chicken meat remains the preferred animal protein, surpassing the more expensive beef and pork options. Despite rising food inflation and soaring energy costs, chicken meat consumption in the European Union is projected to remain strong. Poland is on track to uphold its status as the EU's top chicken meat producer, accounting for over 22% of the total output. Fueled by domestic and export demands, Poland's chicken meat and poultry feed market is set for expansion owing to falling feed costs and reduced competition from Ukraine.
  • The EU poultry feed market is increasingly adopting innovative formulations to address the dietary needs of poultry birds while prioritizing sustainability. A notable instance is the EU's endorsement of insect meal in poultry diets. By incorporating processed insect protein into poultry rations, nutritionists can adopt more sustainable practices, resulting in eggs and poultry meat with a reduced carbon footprint. Also, this inclusion bolsters self-sufficiency in high-protein feed ingredients.
