In 2023, the prepared animal feeds sector in the UK had an employment figure preceding the forecasted level of 16.51 thousand in 2024. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, the sector is expected to see a steady year-on-year increase, reaching 17.03 thousand employees by 2028. The yearly percentage increase maintains a consistent upward trend, reflecting a moderate growth outlook for this sector.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in sustainable and eco-friendly feed production methods.
Increasing demand for organic and specialized animal feeds driven by consumer awareness.
Potential impacts of regulatory changes and trade agreements post-Brexit on the industry dynamics and employment levels.
