Growing Poultry Industry Drives Europe Poultry Vaccines Market

According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) report, poultry has become the most consumed livestock commodity worldwide in the past two decades, particularly in developing and emerging markets. Also, poultry is expected to remain the world's largest imported livestock commodity by volume in the next 10 years as per the same USDA report. The demand for poultry products and imports is rising worldwide. As rising disposable incomes, consumers shift toward purchasing animal-based poultry products comprising high content of proteins, specifically chicken.

With rapid urbanization in many developing economies and emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, poultry products provide consumers with an affordable option for purchase as poultry products comprise high protein content and are more readily available as compared to other meat-based products that are expensive. To match the demand and supply of poultry products, several countries are focusing on domestic poultry production. These countries include the US, Brazil, the European Union (EU), and Thailand, which are also major poultry exporters. According to the Council on Foreign Relations 2024 report, the US, Brazil, the European Union, and Thailand account for 71% of the world's poultry exports in 2021.

Further, from 2001 to 2021, global poultry imports rose to an average of 4% year-on-year (y-o-y), reaching 14.2 million metric tons of production in 2021. With poultry products remaining high in demand worldwide and countries focusing on domestic livestock production, the demand for vaccination is also growing. Thus, the growing poultry industry fuels the poultry vaccines market growth.

Europe Poultry Vaccines Market Overview

In Germany, poultry disease outbreaks are rising significantly. For instance, Germany experienced the largest HPAI outbreak on record between November 2020 and May 2021. The outbreak affected 245 poultry; captive bird farms; and over 1,000 wild birds. Additionally, vaccination against Newcastle Disease is a crucial control measure in countries such as Germany, where the virus is common in the free-ranging bird population. The German Standing Veterinary Committee on Immunization (StIKo Vet) recommends revaccinating chickens every six weeks with attenuated live vaccines via drinking water or spray, following the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPCs) of current vaccines.

Furthermore, Eimeria vaccination is an important practice in laying hens, both caged and free-range birds, to prevent and manage the possibility of suffering an outbreak of coccidiosis produced by Eimeria spp. during the rearing of “male brother chicks” of the layer breeds and mixed genetics chicks. Therefore, all these factors are contributing to the growth of the poultry vaccines market in Germany.
