Feed Carbohydrase Global Market Report 2024

The feed carbohydrase market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.4 billion in 2023 to $3.65 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to a heightened emphasis on feed efficiency, regulatory approvals, increased awareness and education, a growing demand for cost-effective solutions, and the expansion of livestock production.

The feed carbohydrase market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.78 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The anticipated expansion in the forecast period can be linked to an increasing demand for animal protein, a shift towards sustainable agriculture, a heightened focus on animal health and welfare, regulatory backing for feed additives, and the continued growth of livestock and poultry industries. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass precision nutrition solutions, tailored enzyme blends, technological advancements in enzyme development, an expanded presence in the aquaculture sector, and the application in non-conventional feed sources.

The anticipated increase in meat consumption is poised to drive the growth of the feed carbohydrase market. Meat consumption refers to the quantity of meat consumed by humans, encompassing various sources such as beef, pork, poultry, and fish. Feed carbohydrases play a crucial role in meat production by enhancing the nutritional value and digestibility of animal feed. They achieve this by breaking down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, facilitating easier absorption and digestion by animals. This dynamic contributes to the expansion of the feed carbohydrase market. For example, as reported by the Humane League in March 2021, the annual meat production in the US exceeded 30 million metric tons, marking a substantial 184 percent increase. Additionally, data from Sentient Media indicates that each American consumed 96.4 pounds of broiler chicken in 2020, with an anticipated increase to 101.1 pounds per person by 2030. Hence, the escalating trend in meat consumption propels the feed carbohydrase market.

The anticipated growth in livestock production is expected to be a driving force for the feed carbohydrates market. Livestock production involves the breeding and raising of animals for various purposes, primarily for obtaining products such as meat, milk, eggs, wool, and other by-products. Feed carbohydrates play a vital role in supporting livestock production by providing essential energy for growth, reproduction, milk production, digestive health, and various metabolic processes. As reported in 2022 by GOV.UK, the UK experienced growth in livestock production, with a total output of 22.2 billion (£19.3 billion) in 2022, marking a significant increase of £2.7 billion (16%) from the previous year. Therefore, the upswing in livestock production serves as a catalyst for the feed carbohydrates market's expansion.

Product innovation stands out as a prominent trend gaining momentum. Major companies within this market are actively engaged in developing innovative products to enhance their market position. A case in point is the December 2021 launch by BASF SE, a Germany-based chemicals company, of Natupulse TS for animal feed. Representing a non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) enzyme, this groundbreaking product is designed to improve nutrient digestion, bolster feed sustainability, and enhance cost-effectiveness. Natupulse TS facilitates easier nutrient absorption by animals, leading to heightened feed efficiency. This, in turn, can contribute to reducing feed costs and boosting overall animal productivity. Moreover, the enzyme's positive impact on gut health includes a reduction in undigested carbohydrates, lowering the risk of digestive disorders and improving the overall health and well-being of animals.

Major players in the feed carbohydrates market are strategically embracing partnerships to bolster research and development efforts and expand market presence. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefit and success. A notable example is the June 2023 partnership between BASF SE and Cargill Inc., a US-based food corporation. Through this collaboration, the companies aim to introduce innovative enzyme-based solutions to the market, offering unique value for animal feed customers. Focused on addressing productivity, sustainability, and cost challenges, these enzyme solutions are poised to enhance feed efficiency and support animal performance. The partnership involves co-developing, producing, marketing, and selling customer-centric enzyme products and solutions.

In January 2023, Novus International Inc., a US-based animal health and nutrition company, acquired Agrivida Inc. This acquisition, carried out for an undisclosed amount, is geared toward advancing the development of new feed additives and expediting the deployment of innovative animal health and nutrition solutions. Agrivida Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, specializes in the production of feed carbohydrase, phytase, and glucanase for animals.
