Feed Acidifiers Market Report 2026

The feed acidifiers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.08 billion in 2025 to $3.37 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing concerns over pathogenic bacteria in feed, rising adoption of feed hygiene practices, expansion of commercial livestock production, availability of organic acid compounds, growing awareness of gut health.

The feed acidifiers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.72 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable animal nutrition solutions, rising investments in functional feed additives, expansion of aquaculture feed acidifiers, growing regulatory pressure on antibiotic use, increasing adoption of blended acidifier formulations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of organic acid blends, rising demand for antibiotic-free feed solutions, growing focus on gut microflora management, expansion of liquid feed acidifiers, enhanced emphasis on feed preservation efficiency.

The rising demand for meat and dairy products is expected to propel the growth of the feed acidifier market going forward. Meat and dairy products are key components of a balanced diet, providing essential proteins, fats, and micronutrients derived from animal sources such as meat, milk, fish, and eggs. As livestock production expands to meet growing consumer demand, feed acidifiers are increasingly used to enhance animal performance by improving gut health and nutrient digestibility. Feed acidifiers help optimize the absorption of minerals and nutrients in animals, thereby supporting higher-quality meat and dairy output. For instance, in March 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government agency, beef production increased from 456.2 tons in 2022 to 524.3 tons in 2023, reflecting a strong upward trend. Therefore, the growing demand for meat and dairy products is driving the growth of the feed acidifier market.

Major companies operating in the feed acidifier market are focusing on strategic partnerships and innovative product launches to strengthen their market position and meet the demand for non-antibiotic feed solutions. Advanced feed acidifiers are designed to improve animal health and productivity by supporting intestinal health and controlling harmful pathogens. For example, in June 2023, Kemin Industries, a US-based animal nutrition company, launched FORMYL, an advanced feed acidifier developed to enhance swine gut health and performance. FORMYL combines encapsulated calcium formate and citric acid to create a favorable gut environment while effectively combating pathogens such as Enterobacteriaceae and Escherichia coli. As a non-antibiotic solution, the product improves digestion, reduces post-weaning diarrhea, and enhances overall productivity. The encapsulation technology also ensures safer handling and optimal efficacy, making FORMYL a reliable alternative to traditional antibiotic growth promoters.
