Feed Premix Market Trends:

Increasing Demand for Quality Animal Products

The escalating demand for high-quality animal products, such as meat, milk, and eggs, represents one of the key factors impelling the global feed premix market. Moreover, as consumers worldwide seek safer, healthier, and more nutritious options, livestock farmers are under pressure to enhance the quality of their products, thereby fueling the demand for feed premixes. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation, the demand for poultry meat in South Asia is projected to increase by 725% by 2030, with India contributing to an expected 850% increase in demand. India also has the largest cattle inventory in the world, followed by Brazil and China. In 2023, the consumption of poultry meat in India was found to be over four million metric tons. Similarly, the consumption of poultry in the U.S. reached approximately 113.4 pounds per capita in 2021 and is expected to slowly increase, ending at 123 pounds per capita by 2032. With such massive demand for poultry meat, farmers are increasingly incorporating premixes into their feed formulations, to enhance the nutritional value of animal products. This, in turn, is anticipated to bolster the feed premix market share in the coming years.

Government Initiatives

With the increasing demand for poultry meat and the expanding livestock industry, the government authorities of various nations are taking initiatives, such as offering subsidies, grants, and technical assistance to enhance productivity, improve infrastructure, and ensure food security. For instance, under the Poultry Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (PEDS), the Indian government offers loans, subsidies, and grants for activities such as procuring poultry equipment, constructing farm infrastructure, and purchasing livestock. In line with this, the concerned government authorities of different nations are collaborating with each other to expand the poultry industry, which is further bolstering the market growth. For instance, in March 2023, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) launched the USAID Partnership for Poultry activity in Butwal, Lumbini Province, Nepal. The event is said to be a significant feed premix market growth strategy, which brought together stakeholders from agriculture and beyond, emphasizing collaborative efforts crucial for the success of Nepal’s poultry industry. Implemented by Shreenagar Agritech, a Nepali firm, the three-year, US$ 2 Million USAID activity will strengthen the poultry market system and uplift the incomes of 7,000 small farmers and firms for inclusive, sustainable private sector-driven growth. Such initiatives are anticipated to propel the growth of the market in the coming years. 

Rising Adoption of Animal-derived Protein

The rapid expansion of the global livestock industry to meet the rising demand for animal-derived protein is contributing to the increasing demand for feed premixes. Moreover, as the global population continues to grow, so does the need for protein-rich food sources, which in trun is augmenting the feed premix market demand. Additionally, the growing acceptance and need for protein foods globally are also contributing to the growth of the market. For instance, in 2021, about 75% of global consumers paid a higher price for protein-fortified food and beverages. In the same year, more than half of global consumers paid a 10% premium, and an additional 15% paid a 25% premium. Apart from this, the growing interest in protein-fortified personal care products is also creating a positive outlook for the overall market.  For instance, 95% of US females look for specific ingredients in their skincare products, leaving immense scope for segmental growth with growing interest in products fortified with keratin. Furthermore, the increasing demand for sports nutrition and supplements, especially by fitness enthusiasts and sports players, is propelling the feed premix market price. In 2022, sports nutrition held a 74.6% share of animal protein consumed by the supplements sector.
