Animal Feed Organic Trace Minerals Market Trends:

Rising Organic Products Demand

Consumers are increasingly seeking organic and natural products, including meat, milk, and eggs. For instance, according to Statista, the global sales of organic food grew between 2000 and 2022. Organic food sales in 2022 were estimated to be at US$ 134.76 Billion, up from roughly US$ 18 Billion in 2000. This shift drives the demand for organic feed additives, including trace minerals, to ensure that animals are raised in accordance with organic farming standards. These factors are expected to propel the animal feed organic trace minerals market in the coming years.

Expansion of Organic Farming

The global expansion of organic farming practices is contributing to the increased demand for organic feed additives. For instance, according to an article published by FiBL, in 2022, the global organic farming area expanded by more than 20 million hectares to 96 million hectares. The number of organic producers also increased significantly, exceeding 4.5 million. In 2022, organic food sales amounted to approximately 135 billion euros. As more regions adopt organic farming principles, the need for organic trace minerals in animal feed grows correspondingly. These factors are further positively influencing the animal feed organic trace minerals market forecast.

Technological Advancements

Modern analytical techniques, such as spectroscopy and chromatography, provide more accurate and reliable testing of organic trace minerals. For instance, in May 2023, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (GCMMF) (Amul Federation) established a cutting-edge advanced organic testing laboratory at Amul Fed Dairy in Gandhinagar. The new organic testing facility in Amul has been outfitted with cutting-edge equipment, such as a Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS), Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and more. These methods ensure higher quality and consistency in trace mineral products, thereby boosting the animal feed organic trace minerals market revenue.
