The Italian market for preparations for animal feeds (excluding dog or cat food) displayed a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with forecasted volumes indicating a gradual decrease from 10.988 billion kilograms in 2024 to 10.383 billion kilograms in 2028. Comparing the forecasts with 2023, a consistent year-on-year decline is evident, reflecting a shrinking demand and potential adjustments within the agricultural sector. Over five years, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a negative growth trajectory, pointing towards challenges in market expansion and potential shifts in the agricultural ecosystem.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in agricultural practices which might focus on alternative animal feed compositions.
Evolving environmental regulations impacting feed production methods.
Technological developments enhancing feed efficiency and nutritional value.
