Genetically Modified Animal Products Market Report 2025

The genetically modified animal products market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.04 billion in 2024 to $0.04 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased food demand, improved livestock productivity, nutritional enhancement, reduced environmental impact, efficient feed conversion.

The genetically modified animal products market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to climate change mitigation, focus on sustainable agriculture, improved disease resistance, regulatory support, biopharmaceutical production. Major trends in the forecast period include research in functional foods, genetically modified aquatic species, nutritional enrichment, ethical considerations and animal welfare, global research collaborations.

The significant increase in bioengineered food production is a major driver of growth in the market for genetically modified animal products. Bioengineering in food production involves manipulating an organism's genetic makeup to achieve specific traits, such as enhanced yield or resistance to pests. This technology is applied not only to improve food crops such as corn and soybeans but also to animals used for food consumption, such as cows and chickens. As the global population expands and the demand for food rises, bioengineered foods are being considered as a solution to address challenges such as food security and sustainability. In 2022, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that over 90% of corn, upland cotton, and soybeans grown in the United States are genetically modified varieties, categorized as herbicide-tolerant (HT), insect-resistant (BT), or stacked varieties combining both HT and Bt traits. Consequently, the surge in bioengineered food production significantly contributes to the growth of the genetically modified animal products market.

The rising demand for animal-based food products is expected to drive the growth of the genetically modified animal products market in the future. Genetic modification allows for enhanced production efficiency, improved disease resistance, and better quality in animals raised for food, addressing the increasing global need for protein. Economic factors, regulatory backing, and changing consumer acceptance further boost the adoption of genetically modified animal products, making them a viable solution to the challenges posed by a growing population and shifting food preferences. For example, in July 2024, data released by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK-based ministerial department, revealed that the value of beef and veal production increased by 4.2% to £3.9 billion in 2023, following a 12% rise the previous year. Additionally, data from Statistics Iceland, an Icelandic government agency, indicated that the total fish catch for June 2022 was nearly 35,000 metric tons, reflecting a 14,000-ton increase compared to June 2021. Therefore, the growing demand for animal-based food products is propelling the growth of the genetically modified animal products market.

Product innovations are a significant trend gaining traction in the genetically modified animal products market. Major companies in this sector are introducing new and innovative genetically modified animals and products to enhance their market position. For example, in May 2023, Washington State University (WSU), a US-based research institution, announced that it received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for German-style sausages made from gene-edited pigs for human consumption. These gene-edited pigs were modified using CRISPR technology to act as surrogate sires, allowing the transfer of desirable genetic traits to future generations of livestock. This approval underscores the potential of gene editing to enhance meat quality and livestock resilience, while also marking a significant advancement in food safety and biotechnology led by universities.

Major companies in the genetically modified animal products market are also investing in new technologies, such as herbicide-tolerant trait technology, to gain a competitive advantage. Herbicide tolerance involves genetically modifying plants to make them resistant to specific herbicides. Corteva, Inc., a U.S.-based agricultural chemical company, launched Optimum GLY canola in February 2023, showcasing advanced herbicide-tolerant trait technology designed for canola farmers. This proprietary glyphosate trait technology provides enhanced weed control and a broader herbicide application window, giving farmers greater flexibility in weed management for canola cultivation.

In December 2022, LightJump Acquisition Corporation, a publicly traded company based in Germany specializing in acquisitions, merged with Moolec Science Ltd for $504 million. Through this merger, the combined companies aim to trade under the ticker 'MLEC' on the Nasdaq Capital Market, focusing on product innovation and expanding their diverse portfolio. Moolec Science Ltd., a UK-based food ingredient company, utilizes genetically modified plants to produce proteins typically found in animals, aligning with the evolving landscape of genetically modified animal products.

Major companies operating in the genetically modified animal products market include Bayer AG, Syngenta AG, Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc., Dow Inc., Monsanto Company, BASF SE, Corteva Inc., J.R. Simplot Company, Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc., Klein Wanzlebener Saatzucht SE & Co. KGaA, Stine Seed Company, Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (Beijing) Co.

Genetically modified animal products pertain to food items derived from animals that have undergone genetic alterations. These modifications may include engineering animals to grow faster, produce increased quantities of milk or eggs, or exhibit resistance to specific diseases.

The primary forms of genetically modified animal products are pellets, crumbles, mash, and meal or cake. Pellets are small, cylindrical-shaped pieces of compressed feed typically crafted from a blend of grains, such as corn and soybeans. Various types of feed may contain genetically modified traits such as herbicide tolerance (HR), insect resistance (IR), and stacked traits (ST). These modifications aim to enhance the efficiency and productivity of animal farming.
