Feed Additives Industry Segmentation

Feed Additives Market Share

Various types of feed additives are gaining popularity in the market due to the growing focus on improving animal health

Among types of additives, amino acids accounts for a significant share of the market as they are essential for protein synthesis and are used extensively in poultry and swine production. Vitamins are another important segment, providing essential nutrients for animal health and growth. Acidifiers, such as phosphoric acid, are used to improve feed performance and reduce the uptake of pathogenic organisms. Carotenoids, like beta-carotene, are used to enhance the nutritional value of animal feed and improve animal health. Enzymes, such as amylase and protease, aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Mycotoxin detoxifiers help remove harmful toxins from feed, ensuring animal well-being. Minerals, including macro minerals like calcium and phosphorus, are essential for bone health and antioxidants, such as vitamin E, help protect animals from oxidative stress. Probiotics are used to improve gut health and enhance the immune system of animals. Each of these segments contributes to the overall growth and feed additives market development.

Poultry segment dominates the market due to growing demand for eggs and a rising population of broilers

The poultry segment holds the largest share of the market due to the growing demand for micro-nutrients in poultry production, consumers’ preference for poultry meat and eggs, low production and product cost of poultry meat, and high production of compound feed for poultry. Additionally, poultry are susceptible to various diseases, such as avian flu and coccidiosis, which can significantly impact production efficiency and profitability. As a result, there is a heightened need for feed additives that enhance poultry health, immunity, and overall performance.

The ruminant’s segment is expected to account for a significant feed additives market share due to the growing demand for high-quality feed and the need for efficient nutrient in ruminant production. Ruminants are known for their ability to digest and extract nutrients from plant-based feed, but they still require additional nutrients to maintain optimal health and performance. This is where feed additives help. The aquatic animal segment is also growing due to the rising consumption of fish and fish-based products and the growing demand for high-quality aqua feed.
