Nutritional Feed Additives Global Market Report 2024

The nutritional feed additives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.18 billion in 2023 to $4.5 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the improvement of livestock health and productivity, the prevention of diseases, nutritional supplementation, and the increased production of meat and dairy products.

The nutritional feed additives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.97 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable practices in animal agriculture, the development of antibiotic alternatives, the implementation of precision livestock farming, and ongoing product innovation. Notable trends expected in this forecast period encompass the utilization of functional feed additives, the incorporation of amino acids and protein supplements, the promotion of omega-3 fatty acids, and an increased emphasis on sustainable and ethical farming practices.

The nutritional feed additives market is being significantly influenced by the rising consumption of meat products. The increasing demand for high-quality meat due to elevated meat consumption has led to a greater focus on ensuring top-tier meat quality. To achieve this, supplementary nutritional feed additives are administered to animals, promoting good digestion and enabling the development of more muscle and weight. This subsequently enhances yield and productivity, thereby driving up the demand for nutritional feed additives. Currently, meat and poultry consumption in the United States exceeds 100 billion pounds annually.

The primary types of nutritional feed additives encompass antibiotics, vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, mycotoxin detoxifiers, prebiotics, probiotics, flavors and sweeteners, pigments, binders, and minerals. Antibiotics are medicinal substances that aid in treating bacterial infections by either eradicating bacteria or inhibiting their replication and reproduction. Nutritional feed additives are available in various forms, including dry, liquid, and other formats, catering to ruminants, poultry, swine, and aquatic livestock. These additives are distributed through a variety of channels, including direct sales, indirect channels, hypermarkets, supermarkets, specialty stores, and online retail platforms.

The growth of the nutritional feed additives market is further expected to be powered by the escalating practice of livestock farming. The upsurge in livestock farming is primarily propelled by the increasing global population and the growing desire for animal-based products. In the context of livestock farming, nutritional feed additives are dietary supplements that enhance animal health, growth, and productivity by supplying essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in animal diets. For instance, as of August 2023, data from the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs reveals that in 2022, compared to 2021, the value of beef and veal saw a robust 12% increase, reaching £3.8 billion, with a simultaneous 2.0% growth in domestically produced output to 928 thousand tonnes. Pig meat's value experienced an impressive 18% rise to £1.7 billion, with domestically produced output growing by 0.5% to 1,002 thousand tonnes. Mutton and lamb production also showed a notable 3.3% value increase, totaling £1.6 billion, along with a 2.9% increase in home-fed production to 302 thousand tonnes. Poultry meat's value reached £3.1 billion, marking a 3.9% growth, although domestic production declined by 1.9% to 2.0 million tonnes. Therefore, the expanding practice of livestock farming will persist in propelling the nutritional feed additives market during the forecast period.

The stringent regulations pose a substantial constraint to the nutritional feed additives market. The requirement for various mandatory documents and approvals before the introduction of nutritional feed additives leads to delays in the approval process. Consequently, the launch of products and the expansion of companies into new regional markets may experience delays. For instance, China's AQSIQ (Administration for Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine) issued two reports mandating that nutrition feed additive companies register their products and obtain approval from relevant Chinese authorities before selling them in the Chinese market. Additionally, the reports made it compulsory for all exporters to hold licenses for the sale of their nutrition feed additive products in the Chinese market, further impeding the distribution of nutritional feed additives to retail stores.

Manufacturers of feed additives are increasingly investing in the research and development of organic feed additives in response to the growing demand for organic and natural feed products in the nutritional feed additives market. Organic feed additives are preferred for their reduced side effects and their capacity to enhance yield compared to synthetic nutrition feed additives. This has prompted poultry farmers to transition to herbal nutrition feed additives. For instance, Agpulse Organics has introduced 'Govahnika-Biosheera,' an herbal animal feed additive designed for cattle, which not only increases milk productivity but also maintains cattle health and the quality of milk.

Major companies operating in the nutritional feed additives sector are introducing new products such as SUCRAM M’I Sweet and SUCRAM Specifeek. These sweetening agents have been specifically designed to enhance the taste of feed for young animals, with a particular focus on weanling pigs. For instance, in November 2022, ADM, a global leader in human and animal nutrition based in the United States, launched two products under its SUCRAM range, offering in-feed sweetening solutions for livestock species, namely SUCRAM M’I Sweet and SUCRAM Specifeek. These palatants and sweeteners serve as valuable nutritional solutions, enhancing both feed consumption and operational efficiency for producers while contributing to the overall health and well-being of animals.

In March 2022, Noble Foods, a UK-based fresh egg supplier, acquired Hi Peak Feeds for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition not only provides Noble Foods with increased production capacity but also bolsters the company's sustainability credentials. Hi Peak Feeds is a UK-based organic manufacturer of feeds, blends, minerals, and specialty products.
