Mineral Feed Global Market Report 2024

The mineral feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.73 billion in 2023 to $5.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The historical period's growth can be attributed to several factors, including the growth in the livestock population, increasing awareness of animal nutrition, the intensification of livestock farming practices, government initiatives promoting livestock health, and a heightened focus on animal welfare.

The mineral feed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.1 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a focus on sustainable agriculture, the rise in meat consumption, technological innovations in feed additives, the adoption of precision livestock farming, and regulatory emphasis on animal nutrition and climate change adaptation. Major trends in the forecast period include a growing emphasis on animal nutrition and health, increased adoption of specialty minerals, a focus on regulatory compliance and quality assurance, technological advancements in feed manufacturing, and an emphasis on sustainable and ethical sourcing.

The anticipated rise in the demand for nutritional supplements is set to drive the growth of the mineral feed market. Mineral feeds, essential for the proper growth, development, and health of livestock animals, provide necessary minerals and trace elements. As the demand for animal products increases, optimizing livestock farming efficiency becomes crucial, achievable through specifically formulated mineral feeds addressing nutritional gaps. An online survey by The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) in 2022 revealed that 75% of Americans use dietary supplements, indicating a substantial and regular user base. Consequently, the surge in demand for nutritional supplements is a key factor propelling the growth of the mineral feed market.

The increasing demand for animal-based food products is poised to propel the growth of the mineral feed market. This demand leads to heightened livestock production, emphasizing the need for optimal nutrition to enhance animal health and overall performance. Mineral feeds play a vital role in meeting specific nutritional requirements, ensuring the quality of animal-derived products, and aligning with animal welfare standards. The Food and Agricultural Organization's data in July 2021 projects a substantial increase in global meat supply and protein consumption from various meat sources by 2030, further highlighting the pivotal role of mineral feeds in meeting these demands. Thus, the rising demand for animal-based food products is a significant driver for the mineral feed market.

Product innovation is a prominent trend gaining traction. Key industry players are focusing on developing innovative solutions to fortify their market positions. For instance, Ralco, a US-based livestock feed and animal health company, introduced Summit Mineral in March 2021. This expanded range of mineral supplements, part of their beef product line, leverages Ralco's unique ruminant technology to support cattle performance across seasons and challenges, optimizing mineral nutrient levels, ratios, and bioavailability.

Major companies in the mineral feed market are also exploring new alternatives to antibiotics for livestock to enhance their competitiveness. Antibiotic alternatives for poultry, crucial for treating or preventing bacterial infections, have become essential in response to the removal of in-feed antibiotics. Amlan International, a US-based animal feed company, launched Phylox Feed and NeutraPath in April 2022 to address challenges associated with antibiotic-free poultry and livestock production. Phylox Feed acts as a natural alternative to anticoccidial drugs, providing a blend of bioactive phytochemicals to combat coccidiosis, while NeutraPath serves as a natural pathogen control product, reducing bacterial load and enhancing overall performance. These innovations cater to the growing demand for antibiotic-free animal production.

In April 2022, Aceto Corporation, a US-based pharmaceutical marketing and distribution company, acquired Biotron Laboratories and Talus Mineral Company. This strategic acquisition enhances Aceto's position in the life sciences industry, particularly in nutraceuticals, due to Biotron Laboratories' specialized minerals and Talus Mineral Company's expertise in mineral ingredient manufacturing for supplements.
