The production value of prepared farm animal feeds in Italy has seen fluctuations over the past decade. Starting from a high of 4.74 billion Euros in 2013, it declined substantially by 14.92% in 2014. Thereafter, it showed a mix of upward and downward trends, with a notable increase of 5.03% in 2019. However, consecutive years from 2020 to 2023 saw a general downward trend, ending at 4.29 billion Euros in 2023. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years stands at -0.048%, highlighting a slight overall decline.
Forecasting into the future, the value is projected to gradually decrease, reaching 4.24 billion Euros by 2028, with a forecasted 5-year CAGR of -0.2% and a forecasted 5-year growth rate of -1.01%. This suggests a continued, albeit modest, decline in production value in the coming years.
