In 2024, the prepared animal feeds sector in Germany is forecasted to see 42.897 million hours worked, rising to 49.117 million by 2028. This forecasts a consistent year-on-year increase. Compared to the estimated hours worked in 2023, this represents a growing trend, aligning with ongoing shifts in demand and production techniques. The annual growth rate is anticipated to remain steady.
Future trends to watch for:
- Adoption of automation might impact labor hours despite increased production.
- Market changes due to consumer preferences for sustainable animal feeds.
- Potential regulatory changes affecting production processes and labor needs.
