UK Commercial Compound Feed Production Trend (KMT)

Key Takeaway

• The UK’s commercial compound feed production declined marginally from 16,362 KMT in 2020 to 16,221 KMT in 2025, a reduction of 141 KMT (0.9%). The -0.17% CAGR indicates an essentially stable market, with production remaining broadly resilient over the five-year period. This stability likely reflects consistent demand from the UK’s livestock and poultry sectors, particularly poultry, and goat production, which has helped offset pressures from higher feed raw-material, energy, and operating costs. The limited decline also suggests that feed efficiency improvements and changes in livestock numbers have largely balanced each other, preventing significant changes in overall feed demand. Overall, the UK represents a mature and relatively stable compound feed market, where future growth is likely to depend more on productivity, feed formulation, and value-added nutrition than on substantial increases in production volume.
