In 2023, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom dominated the European prepared pet food production value, indicating a broad acceptance and demand in Western Europe. Germany led the market with the highest production value, followed closely by France. Central and Eastern Europe, notably Hungary and the Czech Republic, experienced significant growth, with Serbia and Bulgaria achieving double-digit growth rates. Some smaller markets, such as Latvia, also saw a remarkable increase, reflecting a growing industry interest across Europe.
Looking ahead, expect Western European countries to maintain their leadership in market share, while Eastern Europe, led by strong growth in countries like Serbia and Bulgaria, will continue to expand its influence in the market.
