The Europe silage inoculant market size is expected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising demand for animal products in the livestock sector.
Silage inoculants are microbial inoculants that are used to inoculate silage. They improve silage quality and regulate the forage preservation process, ensuring that maximum nutrients are retained at feeding time.
Silage inoculants are used to treat crops that contain significant amounts of water-soluble carbohydrates and moisture. Silage fermentation is an unregulated process that results in silage nutritional losses. The cost-effectiveness of silage inoculation is increasing its preference among consumers.
The COVID-19 pandemic is projected to have a substantial influence on the market owing to the supply chain disruption of raw materials, which are required to manufacture silage inoculants and enzymes. However, the market is estimated to reach pre-COVID level by end of 2022.
