Volac’s platform highlights expertise in microbiology, biochemistry, enzymology, and immunology, playing a key role in supporting mycotoxin management and promoting phytogenic and nutraceutical solutions. Also, the introduction of regulatory-approved additives that reduce environmental impact further underscores this trend. In May 2024, the FDA approved Bovaer (3-NOP), a methane-reducing feed additive developed by Elanco, specifically for lactating dairy cows. This product aligns with global sustainability targets and supports dairy farmers in accessing voluntary carbon markets proven to cut methane emissions by 30%, creating an additional revenue stream. These developments reflect the sector's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining high production standards. Companies are focusing on integrating eco-friendly products that enhance farm profitability and align with the changing landscape of agricultural sustainability.

Moreover, the global feed additives market is witnessing expansion driven by innovative regional initiatives aimed at catering to local market needs. A notable example of this is the entry of European feed additives company Nuqo into the Indian market. In May 2024, Nuqo launched Nuqo Animal Nutrition India Pvt Ltd, leveraging its specialization in plant and seaweed-based micro-encapsulation technologies. This move aims to strengthen Nuqo’s presence and meet the growing demands in India, a region with expanding livestock production. The combination of global technological innovation and regional market strategies is fostering growth, creating a competitive and environmentally conscious market landscape.

Global Feed Additives Market Segmentation Coverage

• On the basis of the source, the market has been bifurcated into synthetic and natural, wherein synthetic represents the most preferred segment. Synthetic feed additives are often more concentrated, leading to lower inclusion rates in animal feeds. They are easier and cheaper to produce as compared to natural sources.
• Based on the product type, the market is categorized into amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan); phosphates (monocalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, mono-dicalcium phosphate, defulorinated phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, and others); vitamins (fat-soluble and water-soluble); acidifiers (propionic acid, formic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, sorbic acid, malic acid, acetic acid, and others); carotenoids (astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, lutein, and beta-carotene); enzymes (phytase, protease, and others); mycotoxin detoxifiers (binders and modifiers); flavors and sweeteners (flavors and sweeteners); antibiotic (tetracycline, penicillin, and others); minerals (potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and others); antioxidants (BHA, Bht, ethoxyquin, and others); non-protein nitrogen (urea, ammonia, and others); preservatives (mold inhibitors and anticaking agents); phytogenics (essential oils, herbs and spices, oleoresin, and others); probiotics (lactobacilli, stretococcus thermophilus, bifidobacterial, and yeast), amongst which amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan) dominates the market. The need for protein-rich diets for livestock necessitates the inclusion of essential amino acids in animal feeds. Furthermore, the deficiency of amino acids can lead to stunted growth and health issues in animals, making their addition to feed crucial.
• On the basis of the livestock, the market has been divided into ruminants (calves, dairy cattle, beef cattle, and others), poultry (broilers, layers, and breeders), swine (starters, growers, and sows), aquatic animal, and others. These additives ensure optimal health, productivity, and feed efficiency, supporting sustainable and profitable livestock farming.
• Based on the form, the market is categorized into dry and liquid, amongst which dry dominates the market. This form is more stable, ensuring a longer shelf life, which is essential for bulk purchases.
