Animal feed preparation machinery market in Russia

Earlier Report Observations

The Russian market for animal feed preparation machinery displayed a volatile but ultimately expanding path from 2018 to 2024. After an initial value of $39.6 million in 2018, the market contracted to $30.6 million in 2019 before recovering to $45.9 million in 2020. A phase of strong, sustained growth followed, with the market reaching $57.5 million in 2022, surging to $84.7 million in 2023, and attaining $92.4 million by 2024.

This expansion was closely tied to developments in the domestic animal feed sector. A pivotal moment came in 2022 with the government's proclamation of an import substitution policy for animal feeds, which incentivized local production and consequently boosted demand for preparation equipment. The trend was accelerated by concrete investments, such as the launch of a new feed plant in Mordovia in 2024 involving around RUB 5 billion, which required significant machinery purchases. Furthermore, the introduction of mandatory DataMatrix labeling for dry feeds from October 2024 prompted producers to modernize their production lines.

Earlier industry shifts also played a role. In 2018, feed producers like Koudais MKorma were actively adopting modern technologies and equipment from international partners, signaling an early focus on advanced machinery. The subsequent growth in feed output and a marked rise in producer prices from 2023 onward provided ongoing impetus for capital expenditure in feed preparation machinery.
