Europe Feed Mineral Market

Europe Feed Mineral Market Size, Growth, Trends and Forecast:

The Europe Feed Mineral Market was worth USD 1.45 billion in 2021 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 6.29%, to reach USD 2.52 billion by 2026. Minerals are supplements comprised in the animal feeds for ideal growth, development, general well-being and deterrence of illnesses in the livestock.

Vital trace elements and minerals that are not sufficiently generated in the body need to be added to the feeds externally for enhanced quality of animal derived products. They accomplish several tasks such as bone development, controlling acid base balances, muscle contraction, and enzyme stimulation.

The growth of the Europe Feed Mineral market is majorly driven by factors such as growing demand for mineral rich animal meat, rising intake of meat, and growing adoption of scientific methods to increase meat production. However, factors such as strict regulations on the usage of certain minerals in the European Union (EU) and rising cost of raw materials are hampering the growth of the market in this region.
