Asia-Pacific Direct fed Microbials Market

Asia-Pacific Direct-Fed Microbials Market Size

The Asia-Pacific Direct fed Microbials Market was worth USD 120.11 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 129.48 million in 2024 from USD 236.13 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.80%, from 2025 to 2033.

Direct-fed microbial-based feed plays a crucial role in providing medicinal and health benefits to livestock, such as prevention and cure of diseases. Lactic acid bacteria are broadly utilized to feed poultry and ruminants for healthy development.

Market Drivers

The market is driven by factors such as an increase in awareness about sustained quality and safety, rising demand for fabricated animal nourish, growth in demand for animal protein, changes in farming practices and technology, and replacing anti-toxin growth promoters (AGPs) with direct-fed microbials. The continuous rise in the population has also resulted in an increase in the demand for food and the necessity for direct-fed microbials to increase meat and milk production in a sustainable manner. A decline in the usage of anti-infection growth promoters across the globe is driving the sales of direct-fed microbials. Factors such as, high cost of direct-feed microbials and low shelf life are prompting an ascent in the cost of production and limiting the development of the market.
