The trace minerals in feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $557.08 billion in 2024 to $588.92 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early understanding of animal nutrition, traditional livestock farming practices, emergence of feed additives, scientific research on animal health, livestock industry expansion.

The trace minerals in feed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $738.28 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to consumer awareness and education, global livestock production growth, research and development in animal nutrition, environmental and sustainability concerns, focus on animal health and performance. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on animal nutrition, rising livestock production, scientific advancements, environmental concerns, regulatory standards.

The increasing demand for animal-based protein is anticipated to drive the growth of the trace minerals in feed market in the future. Animal-based protein is sourced from animals, including meat, offal, milk, and eggs. The inclusion of trace minerals in animal-based protein is crucial for animal nutrition, addressing potential deficiencies and optimizing the health and performance of production animals through the strategic use of bioavailable trace mineral sources in their feed. For instance, a survey conducted in June 2022 by the University of Minnesota's College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) in collaboration with the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a U.S.-based non-profit organization, revealed that 80% of U.S. adult consumers prefer animal-based protein (pork, beef, poultry, and fish) as their primary protein source. Hence, the rising demand for animal-based protein is driving the trace minerals in feed market.

The increasing consumption of meat and fish is expected to enhance the growth of the trace minerals in feed market going forward. Meat refers to the flesh of animals (including fish and birds) used as food, which can contribute to a healthy diet. The rising demand for animal protein in human diets has led to higher meat and fish consumption. Trace minerals are utilized to improve the quality of meat and carcasses in contemporary broiler chickens through the addition of mineral clays in feed. For instance, in July 2024, Carlisle Technology, a U.S.-based company that provides software and hardware solutions for the food industry, noted that chicken consumption, currently at 98.9 pounds per person, is expected to rise to 107.5 pounds by 2033, driven by its affordability and health advantages. In 2022, Americans consumed an average of 98.9 pounds of broiler chicken per capita, and this figure is projected to increase significantly by 2033. Therefore, the rising consumption of meat and fish is propelling the growth of the trace minerals in feed market.

The prevailing trend of product innovation takes center stage in the trace minerals in feed market, with major companies actively engaging in the development of inventive products to fortify their market positions. A notable example is the Zinpro Corporation, a US-based innovator and manufacturer of high-performance organic trace minerals, which introduced Zinpro IsoFerm for dairy nutrition in October 2022. Zinpro IsoFerm stands out for its distinctive features, including the revolutionary technology of directly feeding fiber-digesting bacteria to enhance rumen activity. Engineered to elevate feed efficiency, promote sustainability, and enhance profitability, Zinpro IsoFerm exemplifies the innovative strides within the trace minerals in feed market.

Major companies operating in this market are also committed to addressing challenges in the food and beverages industry through innovative and practical guides. An illustration of this commitment is observed in the initiatives of Zinpro Corporation. In January 2023, the company, known for its expertise in food and beverage manufacturing, launched the Zinpro Global Poultry Mineral Guide. This interactive document serves as a comprehensive resource for re-evaluating trace mineral nutrition for various poultry species. The guide emphasizes customization of trace mineral guidelines tailored to specific production goals and challenges. Available for broilers, broiler breeders, commercial layers, turkeys, and turkey breeders, the guide allows users to adapt guidelines according to factors such as antibiotic-free diets, breast myopathies, meat quality, food safety, infectious diseases, sustainability, and genetic breeder lines. This strategic approach underscores the commitment of major companies to innovation and practical solutions in the dynamic landscape of the trace minerals in feed market.

In August 2023, The Technology Development Board (TDB) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST), government agencies based in India, joined hands with Chemlife Innovations for an Innovative Bio-Trace Minerals Project. This collaborative effort is geared towards revolutionizing the production of bio-trace minerals extensively employed in animal feed. Central to this initiative is the 'Accelerated Natural Bio Transformation' (ANBioT) technology, a proprietary nutrient delivery system aimed at augmenting the bioavailability of trace minerals in animal feed. Chemlife Innovations, an India-based company specializing in the food and beverage sector, is leading this project.

Trace minerals in animal feed are essential nutritional elements provided in small quantities to both production and companion animal diets. These minerals play a crucial role in supporting various metabolic functions such as growth, development, immunity, and reproduction among animals.

The primary types of trace minerals incorporated into animal feeds include zinc, copper, cobalt, manganese, iron, chromium, and others. Zinc, for instance, is an essential mineral present in certain foods naturally and added to others as a supplement. It is available in various chelate forms such as amino acids, proteinates, polysaccharides, and others. Zinc supplements are utilized in the diets of various livestock categories including poultry, ruminants, swine, aquaculture species, and others. These supplements are available in both dry and liquid forms to cater to different animal feeding requirements.
