Moreover, they are crucial for the growth of ruminants. As per studies conducted by All About Feed Magazine, Powdered Feed is extensively used to feed young calves as means to administer solid feed.

Animal Feed Additives Market Segment Analysis - by Geography

Asia-Pacific held a dominant market share of 33% in the year 2022 and is estimated to be the fastest-growing over the forecast period of 2023-2028. It is owing to surging demand for processed meat and protein diets owing to the increase in income levels of households that are set to drive the animal feed additives market. The demand for consumption of animal feed additives has increased the exports and production of feed additives which have led to the growth of international trade and also to the greater expansion of the meat industry in the Asia-Pacific.

Animal Feed Additives Market Drivers

Growing Demand for Meat Led to an Increase in Animal Feed Production, Which Aided Market Growth.

During the past 10 years, there has been tremendous growth in the demand for animal protein globally for livestock, dairy and fish. As per the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global meat consumption is expected to increase by over 20% by 2050. Meat and poultry consumption in the United States rose by less than 1% per year, but gains in other parts of the world were greater. For instance, Africa and the Middle East, in particular, witnessed a rapid increase in meat consumption, as rising living standards and income levels allowed more people to incorporate meat into their regular diets. The growing number of meat consumers consequently pushed the Animal Feed Additives Market forward.

The Increasing Use of Probiotics as Supplements in Animal Feed, Proliferated the Market Demand.

Animal Feed Additive numbers grew at a significant pace owing to the increasing use of Probiotics, which have become increasingly common during the past ten years. Also, owing to rapid advances in molecular biology and gene sequencing have allowed researchers to gain insight into discovering new probiotic applications for animals, such as in feed and consumer-packaged health products for companion pets. Probiotics use has further increased in order to satiate the growing demand for Livestock. According to the FAO, around 75% of rural people and 25% of urban people rely on livestock for food in 2021, hence enhancing the industrial demand.

Animal Feed Additives Market Challenge

Withdrawal of Antibiotic Growth Promoters Impedes the Market Growth.

Due to the widespread use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs), antibiotic-resistant pathogens of animal origin have emerged, posing a significant threat to food safety and public health. From July 2020, China has prohibited the use of AGPs in animal feed. Furthermore, the livestock industry agreed to stop using medically important antimicrobials for growth promotion or feed efficiency. Additionally, as per instructions from The World Health Organization (WHO), several farmers and the food industry stopped the routine use of antibiotics to promote growth and disease prevention in healthy animals. For instance, the sale of antibiotics for animal production in the United States fell by around 30%, as per a WHO report released in 2019. This significantly impacted the market’s growth.
