This Feed and Animal Nutrition market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.
The feed and animal nutrition market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $533.73 billion in 2024 to $572.31 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a rise in livestock farming, growth of meat and dairy consumption, rise in incomes especially in developing countries, increased migration to urban areas, favorable subsidies, and supportive policies for the agricultural sector, and global population.
The feed and animal nutrition market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $745.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing consumer awareness about animal health and food safety, increased focus on sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices, growing aquaculture industry, rising pet ownership and the humanization of pets, and enhanced regulatory frameworks promoting animal welfare and food safety standards. Major trends in the forecast period include the use of advanced data analytics and AI to create tailored feed formulations, the use of alternative and sustainable feed ingredients, the development of feeds with added health benefits, such as probiotics, prebiotics, and immune-boosting ingredients, integration of automation and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in feed production and distribution, and application of genetic research to improve feed conversion ratios.
The increased consumption of meat, dairy, and poultry products is anticipated to drive the growth of the feed and animal nutrition market in the coming years. These products, which include beef, pork, chicken, eggs, milk, and cheese, are seeing higher demand due to the rising global population, changing dietary habits, and the growing need for protein-rich foods. The development of feed and animal nutrition solutions enhances the quality and productivity of these products, supporting sustainable farming practices, animal welfare, and overall food safety standards. For instance, in June 2023, a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) projected global meat production to increase from 356.9 million metric tons in 2021 to 363.9 million metric tons in 2023, a 1.96% rise. Specifically, global bovine meat production is expected to grow from 74.9 million metric tons in 2021 to 76.1 million metric tons in 2023, while global poultry meat output is forecast to increase from 138.2 million metric tons in 2021 to 142.7 million metric tons in 2023. Additionally, global ovine meat output is predicted to reach 16.8 million metric tons in 2023, reflecting a 1% year-on-year increase. Consequently, the increased consumption of meat, dairy, and poultry products is driving the feed and animal nutrition market forward.
Major companies in the feed and animal nutrition markets are focusing on developing innovative products, such as in-feed sweetening solutions designed to improve feed palatability and encourage feed intake during critical growth stages. These additives enhance the taste of animal feed, encouraging consumption. For instance, in November 2022, The Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM), a US-based food processing company, launched its SUCRAM range, an in-feed sweetening solution for livestock. The range includes two products, SUCRAM M’I Sweet and SUCRAM Specifeek, which are designed to improve feed palatability for young animals, particularly weanling pigs. These sweeteners, which are saccharin-free, have been tested in an in-vitro swine sweet taste receptor model and aim to enhance feed intake during the transition from liquid to solid feed. The products are also intended to optimize nutrient absorption, support gut health, and promote growth and performance in pigs during this stressful period.
In December 2023, The Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM) acquired PT Trouw Nutrition Indonesia for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to enhance ADM's capabilities and position in the animal nutrition industry, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. PT Trouw Nutrition Indonesia, a subsidiary of Nutreco, provides functional and nutritional solutions for livestock farming.
