United States Animal Feed Market Outlook

• In 2019, the total consumption of animal feed by pets and livestock reached 284 million tons  in the United States.

United States Animal Feed Market Growth

There is a growing demand for animal feed fortified with nutritional supplements like vitamins and probiotics. Major market players are focusing on manufacturing niche animal feed, such as freeze-dried food and raw food, among others, which enhance the palatability of animals.

Increasing concerns for sustainable and ethically sourced animal feed are expected to accelerate the use of plant-based ingredients. This is expected to play a significant role in shaping the market growth.

The United States government, through the Centre for Veterinary Medicine (operating under the Food and Drug Administration), invested $8 million into hastening the approval of safe, good quality, sustainable, and innovative feed ingredients. This can help in shortening lead times and expediting farmer’s access to unique animal feed solutions.

Increasing investments by major market players to expand soybean processing facilities in states like Missouri are expected to boost the production of animal feed domestically. Moreover, the increasing demand for soy protein concentrate, which possesses acid buffering capacity, is expected to drive the market growth, as it enhances the digestion of feed amongst pigs.
