In 2023, Hungary led Europe in duck hatchery units, accounting for 22.18 thousand units, followed by Poland and France, both at 17.74 thousand units. The Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Germany also held significant shares, each with varying stability. Notably, Poland and France faced declines of 5.59% and 4.36%, respectively, while Bulgaria saw a 3.71% increase. Germany experienced a notable drop of 7.79%, and Italy's share reduced by 12.94%. Spain's hatcheries ceased operation entirely.

Additionally, the impact of market dynamics or environmental policies on smaller players like Bulgaria, which are showing positive trends, could reshape the regional landscape in upcoming years.
