Europe Automated Cow Feeding System Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The Europe automated cow feeding system market was valued at USD 972.93 Million in 2024. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.20% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to attain a valuation of USD 2.13 billion by 2034.

Europe Automated Cow Feeding System Market Growth

The rising shortage of farm labour in countries like Spain and the United Kingdom, among others, is prompting increasing investments in the deployment of automated cow feeding systems on dairy farms.

As per the IPCC, nearly one-third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions arise from food systems. Nearly 39% of it is attributed to the enteric fermentation of dairy cattle. The European Green Deal, which aims at achieving net zero emissions across all sectors by 2050, is expected to play a key role in promoting the usage of automated cow feeding systems in both small and large farms across the region.

In Germany, the average milk yield per cow has risen substantially in the past decade. This is attributed to technological advancements in feeding systems and improved breeding practices. The adoption of automated feeding systems has the potential to decrease annual carbon emissions by 7689 kilograms per cow while increasing milk yields by over 8,000 kilograms yearly.

Manual feeding constitutes 25% of the average working time devoted to a farm. An average European farm managing 120 animals can save 112.15 minutes daily by using an automated cow feeding system. Such systems can significantly enhance the accuracy of herd feeding while allowing greater flexibility to agricultural workers.
