The global rapeseed meal market is poised for strong growth between 2025 and 2035, driven by expanding demand for high‑protein feed ingredients and shifting dynamics in animal nutrition and sustainable agriculture. According to industry projections, the market — valued at around USD 5.07 billion in 2025 — is expected to nearly double to approximately USD 9.15 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 6.1 % over the decade.
Asia‑Pacific (including China and India) is expected to be a key growth region, with demand rising due to expanding livestock production and aquaculture industries. China, in particular, has seen significant shifts in rapeseed meal trade patterns, such as increased purchases from India after tariffs on Canadian imports disrupted traditional supply routes. Europe and North America are also important markets, supported by technological upgrades in meal quality and by the increasing interest in plant‑based protein components for feed and other applications.
Rapeseed meal’s projected expansion reflects broader feed industry trends — particularly the need to diversify protein sources amid rising livestock and poultry production and fluctuating soybean markets. The product’s sustainability profile, cost‑competitiveness, and evolving technological improvements support its growing integration into feed rations worldwide.
