Plasma Feed Market Report 2026

The plasma feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.81 billion in 2025 to $3 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of intensive livestock farming, rising demand for high-performance animal nutrition, expansion of commercial swine production, early adoption of plasma-based feed ingredients, growth in specialty feed formulations.

The plasma feed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.06 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on antibiotic-free animal nutrition, rising demand for functional feed ingredients, expansion of aquaculture feed applications, growing investments in advanced feed processing, increasing emphasis on animal health and welfare. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of plasma proteins in starter feeds, rising focus on gut health enhancement, growing demand for high-digestibility feed ingredients, expansion of plasma-based functional feeds, enhanced emphasis on animal performance improvement.

The growing demand for high-quality pet food is expected to drive the growth of the plasma feed market going forward. High-quality pet food refers to nutritionally balanced and premium-grade products. Plasma feed is a functional ingredient in pet food, providing proteins, nucleotides, and antibodies that offer unique health benefits, thereby increasing its demand alongside high-quality pet food. For example, in May 2025, Capital One Shopping, a US-based online service, reported that American pet owners are expected to spend $67.8 billion on pet food. Therefore, rising demand for premium pet food is propelling the plasma feed market.

The increased production of aquatic animals globally is also expected to support the growth of the plasma feed market. Aquatic animals are organisms that live in water for part or all of their life cycle. Plasma feed is used in aquaculture to improve growth, health, and overall performance of these animals. For instance, in June 2023, the Biannual Report on Global Food Markets by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a Canada-based specialized agency, indicated that global aquatic animal production grew by an estimated 1.2% in 2022 and is projected to increase by an additional 0.6% in 2023. Therefore, rising aquaculture production is contributing to the expansion of the plasma feed market.

Major companies in the plasma feed market are focused on developing innovative products, such as plasma-based functional treats and toppers, to improve pet health and nutrition. These new offerings aim to provide targeted health benefits, including enhanced immune function and digestion, going beyond traditional pet food formulations. For example, in May 2023, Solid Gold, a US-based company specializing in premium pet nutrition, introduced a line of functional treats and toppers featuring plasma protein. These products utilize the unique properties of plasma to deliver improved nutritional support for pets, highlighting the potential of plasma feed in the expanding market for functional pet foods. By incorporating plasma proteins, Solid Gold seeks to address the growing consumer demand for health-focused pet nutrition solutions.
