The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this five-year period points to an approximate average annual growth of around 3%.
Future trends to watch include:
- Fluctuation in raw material prices such as grains which could impact manufacturing costs.
- Regulatory changes affecting labeling and safety standards that might influence production expenses.
- Potential advancements in manufacturing technology that could optimize efficiency and manage costs better.
- Shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable and organic animal food products.
