Trace Minerals in Feed Market Report 2026

The trace minerals in feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $585.77 billion in 2025 to $617.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of commercial livestock farming, rising awareness of animal nutrition, expansion of compound feed production, increasing use of mineral premixes, regulatory standards for animal feed quality.

The trace minerals in feed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $787.53 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for high-performance animal nutrition, rising focus on sustainable livestock production, expansion of aquaculture feed applications, growing adoption of precision feeding solutions, increased investment in specialty feed additives. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of organic trace mineral supplements, rising use of chelated mineral forms, growing focus on animal health and immunity enhancement, expansion of precision animal nutrition practices, enhanced emphasis on feed efficiency optimization.

Increasing consumption of meat and fish is expected to support the growth of the trace minerals in feed market in the coming years. Meat refers to the edible flesh of animals, including fish and poultry, and is a key component of a balanced human diet. The rising demand for animal-derived protein has contributed to higher levels of meat and fish consumption globally. Trace minerals are used in animal feed to improve meat yield and carcass quality, particularly in modern broiler chickens, through the application of mineral-based feed additives. For example, in July 2024, according to Carlisle Technology, a US-based provider of software and hardware solutions for the food industry, per capita chicken consumption in the United States stood at 98.9 pounds and is forecast to rise to 107.5 pounds by 2033, driven by affordability and perceived health benefits. In 2022, Americans consumed 98.9 pounds of broiler chicken per person, with consumption expected to increase substantially by 2033. As a result, the growing intake of meat and fish is driving expansion in the trace minerals in feed market.

Leading companies in the trace minerals in feed market are introducing innovative and practical guidance tools to address evolving challenges across the food and beverage sector. These initiatives highlight the need to tailor trace mineral recommendations according to specific production objectives and operational challenges. For instance, in January 2023, Zinpro Corporation, a US-based food and beverage manufacturing company, introduced the Zinpro Global Poultry Mineral Guide to reassess trace mineral nutrition across different poultry species. The guide is an interactive resource that consolidates trace mineral recommendations to help poultry producers manage a range of production challenges. It is designed for use across multiple poultry categories, including broilers, broiler breeders, commercial layers, turkeys, and turkey breeders. The guide enables users to customize mineral guidelines based on defined production goals, taking into account factors such as antibiotic-free feeding programs, breast muscle conditions, meat quality, food safety, disease management, sustainability objectives, and genetic breeder lines.

In August 2023, the Technology Development Board (TDB) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST), both India-based government agencies, collaborated with Chemlife Innovations on an Innovative Bio-Trace Minerals Project. This partnership is intended to transform the production of bio-trace minerals used in animal feed. Centered on the Accelerated Natural Bio Transformation (ANBioT) technology, the project introduces a proprietary nutrient delivery system designed to improve the bioavailability of trace minerals in feed applications. Chemlife Innovations is an India-based food and beverage company.
