2017 to 2021 Global Animal Feed Processing Equipment Market Outlook Compared to 2023 to 2033 Demand Forecast

The increasing popularity of aquaculture is set to attract a great deal of attention among aquafeed companies operating across the globe. The global animal feed processing equipment market exhibited steady growth at a CAGR of 3.1% during the historical period from 2017 to 2021. For the aquaculture industry to maintain its current growth rate, the delivery of feed and nutrient inputs will have to surge at a similar rate, while the production of aquatic ingredients remains static. Other industries are also currently competing for achieving the same feed resources.

But, the high demand for more feed, especially for catfish and tilapia, as well as considerable growth in the aquaculture industry is set to spark the interest among the majority of the small-scale companies to process their own feed, rather than buying a complete fish feed. It is also expected to compel small-scale farmers to install feed processing equipment.

Increasing awareness among farmers regarding the benefits associated with feed processing machinery and rising costs of compound feed are anticipated to push the global animal feed processing equipment market. As per FMI, the market is projected to exhibit growth at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2033.
