The feed fats and proteins market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.35 billion in 2024 to $9.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the industrialization of livestock farming, animal health, and productivity, fluctuations in feed ingredient prices, globalization of livestock production, nutritional awareness, and regulatory support.
The feed fats and proteins market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for aquaculture feed, alternative protein sources, biosecurity concerns, the impact of climate change, and growing demand for animal protein. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in feed formulation, traceability and transparency, integration of digital technologies, innovations in feed additives, and sustainable sourcing.
The increasing rate of pet adoption is anticipated to drive the growth of the feed fats and proteins market in the coming years. Pet adoption, the process of providing a permanent home for animals, often through shelters or rescue organizations, has surged due to heightened awareness of animal welfare, easier access to available pets via online platforms, and the emotional benefits of pet companionship. High-quality feed fats and proteins are essential for pet health, enhancing their appeal to potential adopters. For example, in January 2024, Shelter Animals Count, a U.S.-based nonprofit, reported that 6.5 million cats and dogs entered shelters and rescues across America, reflecting a 0.2% increase from 2022 and a 4% increase from 2021. Adoption rates also rose, with 4.8 million animals finding homes in 2023, underscoring a growing commitment to animal rescue and adoption efforts. Consequently, the rise in pet adoption is fueling growth in 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.
Leading companies in the alternative protein market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as plant-based foods, to lessen environmental impact. Plant-based foods, derived from sources like fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, are designed to serve as substitutes for animal-based products. For example, in March 2023, Shiru, a U.S.-based ingredient innovation company, launched OleoPro. This product utilizes a patent-pending technology from Shiru's Flourish platform, which employs artificial intelligence to analyze plant proteins. OleoPro blends plant proteins with unsaturated plant oils, achieving a 90% reduction in saturated fat and enhancing the technical performance of alternative meat products, offering a healthier alternative to conventional fats.
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.
In October 2022, United Petfood, a pet food manufacturer based in Belgium, acquired Gold Line Feeds in a deal of undisclosed value. This strategic acquisition is expected to reinforce United Petfood's position in the UK pet food market, providing access to Gold Line Feeds' facility, brands, and customer base. Gold Line Feeds Ltd., the acquired company, is a UK-based animal feed manufacturer.
