Driving Factors

The UK poultry feed industry is expected to develop due to a number of factors, including rising animal protein preferences, the expansion of the egg and poultry industries worldwide, population growth, increased health consciousness regarding protein consumption, and the per capita consumption of meat. Due to growing health concerns, which are fueling commercial animal production, meat products are rapidly gaining appeal in the UK. Additionally, the poultry industry (which includes IPUs) has experienced the biggest production gain in UK, rising 3.9%, primarily due to an increase in intensive poultry unit production. This growth in poultry production is propelling the UK poultry feed market due to the rising need for premium feed to sustain the growing number of chickens. Furthermore, in the UK, 60.9 million individuals, or around 95 percent of the population, consume chicken at least two times per week. The UK poultry feed market is driven by this high rate of consumption because production must be supported by a consistent and significant supply of high-quality poultry feed to meet the demand for chicken meat.

Restraining Factors

The high cost and limited supply of raw materials are two of the main factors limiting the UK automotive coolant industry. Ethylene or propylene glycol makes up the majority of coolants, coupled with a number of performance-enhancing additives. The total cost of producing coolants can be greatly impacted by changes in the price of these raw materials, which are influenced by variables including the price of crude oil, supply chain interruptions, and geopolitical unrest.
