Europe Feed Additives Market Size, Growth and Regulatory Trends Report 2025

Europe Feed Additives Market Analysis 2025

Market Size in 2024: USD 4.37 BillionMarket Forecast in 2033: USD 6.09 BillionMarket Growth Rate 2025-2033: 3.80%

The Europe feed additives market is projected to advance at a compound annual growth rate of 3.80% from 2025 to 2033. Valued at USD 4.37 billion in 2024, the market is expected to reach USD 6.09 billion by 2033. This steady expansion is driven by the EU ban on therapeutic antibiotics, rising demand for gut-health solutions, and increasing meat exports that require high-performance, residue-free animal diets.

Europe Feed Additives Market Growth Drivers:

EU Antibiotic Growth Promoter Ban Extension

From January 2025, therapeutic zinc oxide is prohibited in piglet diets across the EU, prompting producers to adopt phytogenic and probiotic alternatives. The European Medicines Agency reports a 38% year-over-year increase in non-antibiotic gut-health prescriptions, with essential-oil blends accounting for 22% of new registrations. The regulatory shift accelerates demand for natural performance enhancers, encouraging additive suppliers to expand plant-extract production capacity within the region.

German Ammonia Reduction Subsidy for Feed Efficiency

Germany’s BMEL allocated EUR 240 million in March 2025 to reimburse livestock farms that achieve 10% lower ammonia emissions through improved feed conversion. Early applicants using protease-supplemented rations received EUR 18 per finishing pig, covering 60% of enzyme cost. The incentive drives rapid uptake of nitrogen-capturing additives, creating a predictable sales channel for enzyme manufacturers targeting intensive pig and poultry sectors.

EFSA Positive Opinion on Algae-Based Beta-Glucans

In June 2025, EFSA approved algae-derived beta-glucans as safe immune modulators for broilers, with dossiers showing 5% mortality reduction. Within 60 days, five integrators reformulated 1.3 million tonnes of broiler feed, paying a 4% premium for functional polysaccharides. The regulatory green-light opens the door for sustainable, non-GMO immune support, stimulating investment in European algae cultivation and fermentation facilities.
