Report Overview

Europe Animal Transportation Market, 2028 - Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2028

Europe animal transportation market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% between 2022 and 2028 (forecast period), reaching a value of USD 481.35 million by 2028. The growing dairy and farming sectors in Europe are expected to boost the market growth. Rapid urbanization drives the demand for animal protein from people and rising pet adoption rates. It, in turn, is expected to aid the growth of Europe animal transportation market in the coming years. Animals are transported across borders for slaughter, breeding, and fattening. When compared to other parts of the world, European animal production standards are exceptionally high. As a result, the export of European animals is set to increase in the coming years. To gain global prominence, key players are actively investing in innovative technologies and upgrading their existing systems and devices to provide greater convenience to animals while transporting. Several locations of Europe have much higher levels of animal transportation than others. Furthermore, international transportation of rare breeds of animals will have a significant impact on Europe animal transportation market growth. The significant presence of multiple large-scale businesses across Europe and increasing investments to produce efficient products will also support the market expansion.

Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for animal transportation services from dairy industry

Consumption of dairy and meat products has increased due to population growth and increased awareness of the health benefits associated with animal protein consumption. Demand for white and red meat is increasing across Europe, as they are important sources of high-quality protein. The increased demand for live animals from slaughterhouses to produce and supply more meat is expected to drive the Europe animal transportation market. Although governments across Europe encourage slaughtering animals as close to home as possible and meat transportation to avoid animal death or injury during transport, the transportation of certain live animals for meat is still required in some European countries.

Increased domestic transportation of animals for fattening and breeding is also expected to drive market growth. As cities become more crowded, pet adoption rates rise. The animal transportation industry is expected to benefit from increased pet ownership. Consumers are willing to invest in their pet's journey to comfort them and learn more about their well-being as the Internet of Things (loT) allows pet owners to continuously monitor their pets on the journey. Furthermore, recent advances in loT technology are expected to fuel market growth even more. For example, Unisys Corporation’s Digi-Pet, a new IoT device, helps users in monitoring their pets in aircraft cargo holds.

Restraints

Stringent regulations regarding animal transportation

There are numerous potential stressors during transportation that can negatively impact animal health and thus the quality of the final product. Movement restrictions, strange noises, vehicle vibrations, mixing with other animals, and often water and feed limitations all have an impact on the animals' condition during animal transportation. As a result, European countries are enacting a variety of policies to halt live animal trade and reduce animal losses during transportation, which may impede the growth of Europe animal transportation market. For example, in April 2018, the United Kingdom announced a new policy prohibiting the export of live animals for slaughter. Furthermore, rising rates of animal death and injuries during transportation are anticipated to limit the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Animal Transportation Market

COVID-19 had affected animal transportation market in Europe. The significant decline in international and domestic travel, as well as an increase in the number of flights cancelled, had a significant negative impact on overall market growth. Some airlines altogether ceased transporting live animals, while others placed restrictions on travelers travelling with pets. Decreasing demand for meat products resulted in the closure of numerous live animal marketplaces due to logistical channel disruptions and a drop in demand. Consequently, COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions adversely affected the growth of Europe animal transportation market. Post COVID-19 pandemic and the relaxations in the travel restrictions, the market is expected to grow at the COVID-19 pandemic level.

Segmental Coverage

Europe Animal Transportation Market – By Animal Type

Based on the type of animals transported, Europe animal transportation market is segmented into cattle, pigs, poultry, pets, sheep & goats, and other animals. Among the animal type segments, the cattle segment is expected to continue to maintain its dominance in Europe animal transportation market during the forecast period. As cattle are major part of dairy and meat industries in the region, dairy and meat producers require significant transportation services for cattle slaughtering, fattening, and breeding.

Europe Animal Transportation Market – By End Use

By end use, Europe animal transportation market is divided into personal and commercial segments. The commercial end-use segment is expected to continue its dominance in the Europe animal transportation market, as the dairy industry across European countries transport cattle in large numbers for exporting, breeding, and fattening, and to slaughterhouses.    

Europe Animal Transportation Market – By Country

Europe animal transportation market is also segmented into countries: Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, NORDIC Countries, and Rest of Europe. France is a major country in Europe animal transportation market, and it is expected to continue its dominance in the market during the period in analysis. The France animal transportation market is expected to be driven by an increase in the number of pet animals and increased concerns about pet transportation. Furthermore, as France's live animal production standards are higher than those in other countries of Europe, demand for France's live animals is expected to rise in the coming years, boosting Europe animal transportation market growth.

Germany is expected to hold a decent market share. Meat processing is a significant sector in Germany. According to the Federal Statistical Office (FO), the meat processing industry generated roughly USD 47.5 billion in revenue in 2019, and German enterprises produced about 8 million tons of meat. The country's growth momentum is being driven by the developing meat processing sector and rising regional farm animal transportation, such as from farm to slaughterhouses or farm to fattening locations.
