Market Growth Factors
The growth of the global animal feed market is driven by the increasing demand for meat, dairy, and poultry products that encourage the production of high-quality feed to increase livestock performance. The development of precision nutrition technology, custom diets, probiotics, amino acids, and feed acids has improved livestock production, health, acting as a driving factor for market growth. Improving environmental awareness results in the development of so-called 'green' feed additives, which help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable agriculture.
Government support programs and subsidies for livestock farming and feed production, as well as investments in modernized feed manufacturing technology and infrastructure, are contributing factors to market growth. In the USA, for example, Kemin Industries launched FORMYL in 2024, comprising a multi-benefit novel feed acidifier for use in swine health, as a non-antibiotic pathogen management solution and to improve gut health.
Economic shifts may impact consumers' purchasing power and preferences, and thus the demand for animal products and feed. An anticipated high risk for recession in the US and globally by 2024-2025 implies increasing need for flexible feed products. Regulations may formulate rules, source ingredients, label items, and distribute goods. Regulations may support innovations in feed formulation for more efficient resource use and a reduction of emissions. These regulations often shape market practices and drive compliance with production and distribution standards in the sector.
