Conclusion: The slaughter pig market will remain largely stable in the last week of July 2025. Supply and demand are in balance and the marketing of animals ready for slaughter is proceeding steadily. Despite the vacation season and quiet meat trade, slaughterhouses remain interested in buying. The piglet market is divided: While stable prices dominate in Germany, the Dutch market is under pressure - partly due to a historically low pig population and declining export figures. In Italy, on the other hand, a low live supply and tourist demand are providing slight price impetus - in contrast to the downward trend in Spain.
ZMP Live Expert Opinion
The market situation on the European pig market remains stable, supported by a balanced relationship between supply and demand. No trend reversal is expected in the short term, as both slaughter figures and price quotations remain at a constant level. In the long term, however, structural changes such as the drastic decline in Dutch piglet production could lead to a shortage of live supply and trigger potential upward pressure on prices. At the same time, the slight increase in EU exports to third countries and stable demand stimuli from Asia point to a gradual recovery. In the medium term, this could result in rising prices and a firmer market trend - provided that geopolitical risks and global demand trends remain constant.
