Feed Fats and Proteins Global Market Report 2024

The feed fats and proteins market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.73 billion in 2023 to $9.35 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The expansion witnessed in the historical period can be ascribed to the industrialization of livestock farming, advancements in animal health and productivity, variations in feed ingredient prices, the globalization of livestock production, heightened nutritional awareness, and regulatory backing.

The feed fats and proteins market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.9 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The anticipated expansion in the forecast period is associated with an increasing need for aquaculture feed, the exploration of alternative protein sources, concerns regarding biosecurity, the influence of climate change, and a growing demand for animal protein. Noteworthy trends in the forecast period encompass technological advancements in feed formulation, emphasis on traceability and transparency, integration of digital technologies, innovations in feed additives, and a focus on sustainable sourcing.

The surge in pet adoption is anticipated to drive the growth of the feed fats and proteins market in the future. Pet adoption involves acquiring animals through rescue groups rather than purchasing them from pet shops or breeders. Meals rich in protein and fat contribute to building and repairing the bodies of companion animals such as dogs. In 2021, Chewy Inc., a US-based online retailer of pet food and products, reported that approximately 977,202 pets were adopted in the US, marking the highest adoption rate of 61% in the past six years. Moreover, a national survey conducted by Animal Medicines Australia (AMA) in November 2022 revealed that around half of Australian households had at least one dog, making dogs the most common pets. In 2022, 48% of households had dogs, up from 40% in 2019. Therefore, the increasing rate of pet adoption is fueling the growth of the feed fats and proteins market.

The growth in meat consumption is expected to boost the feed fats and proteins market in the coming years. Meat consumption involves the consumption of animal flesh as food and serves as a vital source of minerals, vitamins, iron, and proteins in the human diet. Feed fats and proteins play essential roles in the diets of animals raised for meat production, leading to a heightened demand for these components due to their crucial contributions to animal nutrition. In 2023, TheWorldCounts, a Denmark-based website providing information and statistics, reported a consumption of 329 tons of meat in 2023, and this figure is projected to reach 460 million by 2050. Hence, the increasing consumption of meat is steering the growth of the feed fats and proteins market.

Product innovations stand out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the feed fats and proteins market. Leading companies in this market are actively engaged in developing novel products and solutions to bolster their market standing. For example, in December 2021, BASF SE, a chemical company based in Germany, introduced Natupulse TS, an innovative feed enzyme designed for animal feed. This product aims to enhance nutrient digestion, making animal feed more cost-effective and sustainable. Natupulse TS incorporates beta-mannanase into the feed, reducing digest viscosity, improving feed efficiency, and supporting the more sustainable production of animal protein. This innovation contributes to increased nutrient absorption and affordability of animal feed, showcasing a commitment to sustainability.

Technological advancements are also shaping the landscape of the feed fats and proteins market, with innovations such as SucculencePB gaining prominence. This technology aids plant-based product manufacturers in retaining moisture and flavor, significantly elevating the taste and nutritional profile of their offerings. Kerry Group plc, an Ireland-based food company, introduced SucculencePB in March 2023 to enhance the taste and nutritional qualities of plant-based meat alternatives such as burgers and sausages. Incorporating SucculencePB in plant-based meat production delivers notable nutritional benefits, including a substantial reduction in fat, saturated fat content, and calorie count. Such advancements enable products to achieve higher scores on local and regional front-of-pack labeling and nutrition rankings, such as the Nutri-Score and the UK traffic light system.
