Europe Dominates the Global Ruminant Feed Market
The growing global population, increasing per capita global consumption of meat, and the increasing adoption of intensive farming methods are the major factors driving the demand for ruminant feed. Europe is a matured market for ruminant feed, in terms of consumption. In the region, ruminant feed has long been used as productivity enhancers in livestock. Therefore, the regional market is modern and highly regulated, especially in Western Europe. The major countries in the market are Spain and Germany.
Competitive Landscape
The global ruminant feed market is fragmented with some feed manufacturers, while the rest of the market is divided among small companies, mostly feed mills. Around 94% of the market share is occupied by feed mills, while the top five companies account for 6% of the remaining share. Major investments are done by companies in their domestic markets to cater to the local demand. Expansion is the second-most preferred growth strategy, followed by investment, in the global ruminant feed market. In addition to this, various companies are also enhancing production capacities of their existing plants across the world.
