Feed Carbohydrase Market Report 2025

The feed carbohydrase market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.62 billion in 2024 to $3.85 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased focus on feed efficiency, regulatory approvals, awareness and education, demand for cost-effective solutions, and expansion in livestock production.

The feed carbohydrase market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for animal protein, a shift towards sustainable agriculture, a focus on animal health and welfare, regulatory support for feed additives, and expansion of livestock and poultry industries. Major trends in the forecast period include precision nutrition solutions, customized enzyme blends, technological advancements in enzyme development, expansion in the aquaculture sector, and application in non-conventional feed sources.

The expected increase in meat consumption is likely to drive growth in the feed carbohydrase market in the future. Meat consumption encompasses the total amount of meat humans eat, which includes various sources such as beef, pork, poultry, and fish. Feed carbohydrases play a crucial role in meat production by enhancing the nutritional quality and digestibility of animal feed. They achieve this by breaking down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, which animals can absorb and digest more easily. As meat consumption rises, the demand for feed carbohydrases is anticipated to grow accordingly. For example, a report from the United States Department of Agriculture indicated that in 2023, total production of cattle and calves, along with hogs and pigs, reached 86.6 billion pounds, showing a slight increase from the previous year. Therefore, the rise in meat consumption is a significant factor driving 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 is emerging as a significant trend in the feed carbohydrase market, with major companies focusing on developing new and enhanced products to solidify their market positions. For example, in June 2023, Real Good Foods Co., a US-based frozen food company, introduced a low-carbohydrate, high-protein burrito platform that caters to the increasing demand for healthier meal options. This innovative product line features burritos made with antibiotic-free chicken breast and a proprietary low-carb tortilla, effectively lowering carbohydrate content compared to traditional burritos while boosting protein levels. Real Good Foods is committed to providing "Real Food You Feel Good About Eating," emphasizing low sugar, low carbohydrate, and high protein offerings. This launch reflects their mission to enhance dietary choices for consumers, particularly amid rising health concerns like diabetes. Such product innovations in the feed carbohydrase market are expected to meet evolving consumer preferences and health trends, driving further growth in the sector.

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.

Feed carbohydrases are a category of enzymes incorporated into animal feed to enhance the accessibility and digestibility of the feed components. These enzymes can originate from various sources, such as microorganisms, plants, and animals. The supplementation of enzymes into animal feed serves to enhance the breakdown of complex feed components, facilitating the release of additional nutrients that can be absorbed and utilized by the animal.

The primary product types within feed carbohydrases include amylase, cellulose, pectinase, and lactase. Amylase, for example, is an enzyme that accelerates the decomposition of starch and glycogen into smaller glucose units. It is available in different forms, including liquid and dry, and can be sourced from microorganisms, animals, and plants. These enzymatic products find applications across various sectors, including poultry, ruminants, swine, and others.
