Rising demand for functional and medicated feed and growing aquaculture industry are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Europe aquafeed market.
The rising incidence of disease outbreaks in aquaculture systems has highlighted the critical need for effective nutritional solutions, driving the demand for functional and medicated feeds. Functional feeds, enriched with probiotics, prebiotics, and immune-boosting additives, play a vital role in enhancing the health and resilience of farmed aquatic species. These feeds improve gut health, optimize nutrient absorption, and strengthen the immune system, reducing the risk of diseases and mortality in aquaculture operations.
In addition to functional feeds, medicated feeds designed to target specific diseases present a significant growth opportunity in the global aquafeed market. These feeds are formulated with therapeutic agents to treat or prevent diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections, which are prevalent in intensive farming systems. With disease outbreaks posing a significant threat to aquaculture productivity and profitability, the adoption of such feeds has become increasingly essential.
