The size of the Direct-fed Microbials Market was worth USD 1069.71 million in 2021. It is expected to be around USD 1401.64 Million in 2026 with a CAGR of 6.99%.
Microbes are described as microscopic living organisms that occur in nature as single-celled organisms or a group of cells. Some microbes can damage human and animal health, whereas some are highly advantageous for humans and animals. Therefore, microbes that are supplemented orally to provide benefits to animals are termed as Direct-Fed microbes.
Direct-fed Microbials Market Drivers:
The growing consumption of animal products like milk and meat worldwide, primarily pushing the global market. The increasing usage of Direct-Fed Microbials in animal products to improve nutrient absorption among the animals is promoting its profitability. It can work in favor of the direct-fed microbial market. Furthermore, governments across different nations are initiating several drives to encourage the use of Direct-Fed Microbials.
Furthermore, due to increased awareness among people regarding animal health, an upswing in the Direct-fed Microbials market growth. Recently, animal food processing companies have invested heavily in manufacturing healthy & nutritious processed food to feed the animals. The increase in animal disease is having a positive impact on the growth of the direct-fed Microbials market. There has been a ban in many regions regarding antibiotics as growth promoters, which is thereby lifting the market. There have been increased investments for R & D in the DFM market, which is one of the factors; likely to boost the market’s growth.
MARKET RESTRAINTS
Lack of Awareness about the market is one of the reasons inhibiting the growth of the market. Several government-imposed stringent regulations regarding these microorganisms' vigorous animal diet usage and increased production cost are the primary factors hampering the Direct-Fed Microbial market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected a large number of countries across the globe. Several measures introduced to deal with the pandemic, such as lockdowns, reduction in trade activities, and shutdown of multiple factories and workplaces in several countries, could save lives; however, these measures have wide-ranging economic effects inducing economic contagion. Along with the risk of a slowdown of global growth, the results of COVID-19 are adversely affecting various economic sectors in economies across the globe.
Key manufacturing segments have halted operations across the globe in response to the lockdown regulations issued by governments of various countries and discontinuing public transport services.
Manufacturers of Direct-Fed Microbials worldwide face concerns regarding the availability of raw materials due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has hampered the manufacture of products. The COVID-19 pandemic impact is estimated to be high on the Direct-Fed Microbials market in 2020 and 2021.

Direct-fed Microbials Market Segmentation:
Direct-fed Microbials Market - By Type:
Based on the type, the lactobacillus segment was valued for more than half the total market share in 2018 and is estimated to exhibit a prominent growth rate due to its increased livestock diet usage. Moreover, Lactobacillus class is the most extensively used probiotics in the livestock diet, as it is deemed safe and more advantageous than the other bacterial species. Besides, the added benefits offered by the bacillus Direct-Fed Microbial include enhanced normal digestion and higher nutritional value of the feed as bacillus strains secrete vitamins and essential amino acids. Other benefits include reducing total hepatic cholesterol, plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides, which foster better animals' health. Thus, all these factors are anticipated to accelerate the Direct-Fed Microbial market growth in the future.
Direct-fed Microbials Market - By Livestock:
Based on the livestock, the poultry segment is projected to have potential shares because Direct-Fed Microbials give poultry birds protein, boosting their growth rate. With the soaring demand for poultry meat across the globe due to their excellent nutrient value, the market for Direct-Fed Microbials is also expected to progress.
Direct-fed Microbials Market - By Form:
Based on the form, the dry form has a more lasting shelf life than the liquid form, which differs according to the type of Direct-Fed Microbials used in animal feed. Dry Microbials have more benefits and are used in various animal feed additive products. Farmers prefer liquid microbial as they are easy to mix and do not affect the feed's texture.
Direct-fed Microbials Market - By Region
Regionally, the Asia Pacific is the fastest developing region. North America is the largest Direct-fed Microbials Market, followed by Europe.
