Animal Derivatives Global Market Report 2024

The animal derivatives market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.85 billion in 2023 to $12.66 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the traditional utilization within the food industry, the increasing global population, a rise in disposable income, cultural and dietary preferences, nutritional content, and the growing demand for protein.

The animal derivatives market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.04 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by ongoing population expansion, increasing urbanization and westernization, the growth of the middle-class consumer base, a shift towards health and wellness, and diversification in product offerings. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass the proliferation of plant-based alternatives, advancements in processing technologies, integration into functional foods, global regulatory developments, and the surge of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer models.

The surge in expenditure on pet food is anticipated to drive the expansion of the animal derivatives market in the foreseeable future. Pet food constitutes commercially prepared nutrition tailored and produced for the dietary requirements and consumption of domesticated animals. In the realm of pet foods, animal derivatives serve as fundamental sources of proteins and assorted nutrients. As an illustration, figures from March 2023, sourced from the American Pet Products Association (APPA), a non-profit industry association in the US, disclosed a 16.2% surge in pet food spending in 2022, escalating to $58.1 billion compared to the preceding year. Consequently, the increased investment in pet foods significantly influences the demand for animal derivatives.

The advancing trend of urbanization is projected to propel the growth of the animal derivatives market in the foreseeable future. Urbanization encompasses the escalating concentration of populations in urban locales, encompassing the expansion and development of urban territories. This surge in urbanization invariably correlates with amplified requisites for animal-based proteins such as meat, eggs, and dairy produce. The burgeoning urban populace exhibits heightened consumption of protein sourced from animals, driven by factors such as augmented income levels and wider access to diverse food items. For instance, as per April 2023 data released by the World Bank, a US-based international financial institution supporting low- and middle-income nations, in 2023, 56% of the global populace, totaling 4.4 billion individuals, resided in urban precincts. This figure is anticipated to more than double by 2050, accentuating the role of rising urbanization in stimulating demand within the animal derivatives market.

Growing demand from the pharmaceutical industry is expected to propel the growth of the animal derivatives market going forward. The pharmaceutical industry refers to a sector of the healthcare industry dedicated to the research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of drugs and medications. Animal derivatives play a role as both active and inactive ingredients in pharmaceuticals, and they are used in the production of drugs, including as binders, carriers, stabilizers, fillers, and colorants. For instance, according to the Livemint, a India-based business and financial daily newspaper, the Indian pharma industry is expected to see a growth of around 7% to 8% over FY24-FY25. Therefore, growing demand from the pharmaceutical industry is driving the growth of the animal derivatives market .

Innovation in products emerges as a prominent trend gaining traction within the animal derivatives sector. Leading market entities are introducing inventive offerings such as PureeX to fortify their market standing.

This novel product, extracted freshly from insects, stands as a highly nutritious and enticing ingredient tailored for usage in pet foods. Additionally, it boasts a reduced carbon footprint, elevated antioxidant content, and exhibits antimicrobial properties, catering to the growing demand for sustainable and beneficial animal derivative-based products.
