The non-protein nitrogen market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.36 billion in 2023 to $1.44 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the supplementation of livestock feed, a rise in meat consumption, the adoption of cost-effective protein alternatives, advancements in nitrogen fixation research, and efforts aimed at improving feed efficiency. These elements collectively contributed to the expansion and development of the relevant sectors during the specified timeframe.
The non-protein nitrogen market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.74 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including population growth and increased food demand, a heightened focus on sustainable agriculture practices, the expansion of the livestock industry, a rise in aquaculture activities, and an increased demand for high-quality animal protein. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass efforts to balance ration nutrition for optimal animal health, advancements in microbial protein utilization, a growing emphasis on sustainable livestock production methods, the incorporation of functional additives in animal feed, and the adoption of innovative feed technologies to enhance overall efficiency and productivity in the sector.
The anticipated growth in the non-protein nitrogen market is expected to be propelled by the increasing consumption of meat. Meat, which refers to the edible muscular tissue of animals consumed as food, is a key component of human diets. The incorporation of non-protein nitrogen in feed consumption can enhance the overall protein content and nutritional value of meat products. This enhancement is achieved through the conversion of components such as urea, biuret, and ammonium phosphate to proteins by microbes in the ruminant stomach. For example, in March 2023, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, beef production in Australia increased by 11.3% to reach 524,335 tons, and mutton production increased by 31.8% to 58,662 tons. This surge in meat consumption contributes to the growth of the non-protein nitrogen market.
The growing population of livestock is expected to drive the expansion of the non-protein nitrogen market. Livestock, which includes domesticated animals raised by humans for various purposes, benefits from non-protein nitrogen supplements such as urea. These supplements provide an economical alternative to traditional protein sources, enhance feed efficiency, and support increased production demands associated with a larger livestock population. For instance, a report by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics in September 2022 indicated a 3.2% growth in the hog and pig population in 2021, reaching a total of 42.25 million animals. This increase in the livestock population contributes to the overall growth of the non-protein nitrogen market.
Product innovation is a prominent and influential trend in the non-protein nitrogen market, with major companies actively engaged in the development of inventive products to fortify their positions. An illustrative example is the initiative by DSM-Novozymes Alliance, a US-based biotechnology company specializing in industrial enzymes and microorganisms. In June 2021, they introduced ProAct 360, a second-generation protease feed solution. This innovative feed solution is designed to enhance protein digestibility, ensuring excellent nitrogen retention in metabolism. By reducing nitrogen emissions to the environment, ProAct 360 contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach. The product aims to deliver consistent improvements in growth performance for vital amino acids, providing faster action and showcasing the commitment of major companies to advancing feed solutions within the non-protein nitrogen market.
Major companies in the non-protein nitrogen market are exploring nanotechnology-based solutions as part of their innovative product offerings. An instance is the Nano Urea Liquid introduced by the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative in May 2021. This nanotechnology-based solution enhances plant nutrition, increases crop yields, and contributes to sustainable development by reducing environmental impact and promoting balanced nutrition. Its small size offers convenience for farmers and significantly reduces logistics costs. The solution is designed to substitute traditional urea, with a minimum 50% reduction in its necessity, delivering nitrogen nutrient content equivalent to one bag of conventional urea in a 500 ml bottle.
In May 2023, Alltech, a US-based nutrition company, partnered with Agolin, a Switzerland-based feed additives company. This strategic partnership aims to provide eco-friendly nutrition solutions to support cattle production and sustainability goals. The collaboration leverages nutritional technology to enhance animal welfare, increase feed efficiency and conversion, improve milk and meat production quality, boost profitability, and reduce environmental impact, including increased nitrogen efficiency. This partnership reflects the industry's commitment to innovation and sustainable practices in the non-protein nitrogen market.
