Liquid Feed Global Market Report 2024

Liquid feeds serve multiple purposes in livestock management, including conditioning rations, enhancing palatability, minimizing dustiness, and delivering essential nutrients to animals. Liquid feeding involves the preparation and distribution of animal-friendly feeds in liquid form. This method can utilize a diet crafted from a blend of liquid by-products from the food industry and traditional dry ingredients or a mixture of dry raw materials combined with water.

The primary categories of products found in liquid feeds encompass protein, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and other essential elements. Protein sources include plant and animal-derived feeds with elevated protein content, encompassing prills, granules, corn, urea, wheat bran, and others. These liquid feeds find application in various livestock categories such as ruminants, poultry, swine, aquaculture, and more.

The liquid feed market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.86 billion in 2023 to $3.99 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%.
The upswing in the historical period can be ascribed to a heightened demand for premium livestock and poultry products, the convenience and user-friendly nature of animal nutrition, growing concerns for animal health and well-being, the optimization of feed conversion ratios, and the accessibility of nutrient-rich liquid feed ingredients.

The liquid feed market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.52 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to an emphasis on precision livestock farming practices, the uptake of sustainable and environmentally friendly feeding solutions, the broadening of aquaculture and specialty livestock segments, heightened investments in research and development, and regulatory backing for quality and safety standards. Notable trends in the forecast period encompass tailored liquid feed formulations for diverse species, the incorporation of functional additives to enhance animal health, the integration of probiotics and prebiotics in liquid feeds, fortification with essential vitamins and minerals, the utilization of by-products and co-products in liquid feeds, and the application of enzymes for enhanced digestibility.

The liquid feed market is anticipated to experience growth, driven by the increasing demand for meat and meat products. Meat, derived from animals such as chickens, sheep, pigs, and cattle, is a staple food consumed globally. Liquid feed plays a crucial role in enhancing meat quality. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, global meat consumption is projected to reach 45.3 kg per capita by 2030. The escalating demand for meat and meat products is expected to be a key factor propelling the growth of the liquid feed market.

The surge in the demand for pet food is poised to contribute to the growth of the liquid feed market. Pet food, formulated to meet the nutritional needs of domestic animals, is a specialized diet. Liquid feed, serving as taste modifiers, is frequently employed to enhance the palatability of animal feed, including pet foods. In 2022, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that pet food exports from the US to China reached $304 million, showing a substantial 200% increase and constituting 50% of total imports. The rising demand for pet food is a significant driver fostering the growth of the liquid feed market.

A notable trend in the liquid feed market is the emergence of product innovations. Major companies in the sector are concentrating on developing innovative products to bolster their market positions. For example, BASF introduced Natupulse TS in December 2021, an innovative feed enzyme available in powder and liquid form. This product, featuring ß-mannanase, enhances feed digestibility, ensuring sustainable production while being cost-effective.

The liquid feed additives represent a key focus for major companies in the liquid feed market, aiming to enhance nutritional content and palatability for livestock, thereby gaining a competitive edge. Liquid feed additives, molasses-based supplements, offer added minerals, vitamins, protein, and energy in a convenient form for livestock. ADM, a US-based human and animal nutrition company, launched SUCRAM M'I Sweet and Specifeek in November 2022. These sweeteners are designed to improve feed palatability for young animals, particularly weanling pigs, providing an in-feed sweetening solution that enhances feed intake and producer efficiencies.

In April 2021, Eastman Chemical Company acquired 3F Feed & Food, a Spain-based company specializing in liquids and powders for animal health nutraceuticals and feed. This strategic acquisition allows Eastman to expand its product range and solutions, leveraging a top-notch manufacturing plant and an experienced team to address customers' challenges through tailored solutions.
