Leading Players in the Global Animal Feed Market

The global animal feed market size reached US$ 518.4 Billion in 2023. Animal feed refers to processed, semi-processed, and raw products manufactured for the consumption of ruminants, poultry, swine, and aquatic animals. It is formulated with nutritional additives such as proteins, fibers, carbohydrates, minerals, enzymes, acidifiers, antibiotics, and antioxidants. It helps maintain the overall health of animals and improves the quality of end-products, including eggs, meat, and milk. In addition, animal feed acts as a source of energy and supports muscular activity in animals.

As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the top animal feed manufacturers are incorporating non-genetically modified organisms (non-GMO) crops in animal feed due to the increasing consumer demand for all-natural food sources. They are also adding algae-based ingredients that play a crucial role in the early developmental stages of the livestock. Besides this, several key players are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to meet the growing demand for animal feed for aquaculture and livestock species worldwide. In addition, they are engaging in mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and partnerships to enhance their production capacities and gain a competitive edge in the market. For instance, in November 2021, De Heus Vietnam signed a strategic agreement with Masan to obtain control over 100% of the feed-related business of MNS Feed. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 674.7 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9% during 2024-2032.
