Feed Acidifiers Market

Feed Acidifier Market Size (2022 – 2027)

The Global Feed Acidifiers Market was worth US$ 2.58 billion in 2022, and it is estimated to reach a valuation of US$ 4.09 billion by the end of 2027, expanding at an annual growth rate of 6.1% between 2022 and 2027. The feed acidifiers are the acidifiers which are added to the animal feed. The acidifiers are inorganic chemicals that put into livestock body either produce or become acid. These acidifiers help in increasing the gastric level and improve digestion and also helpful in marinating the pH of the stomach, stimulates feed consumption and improve metabolism of the livestock. The feed acidifier helps in improving animal health and reduces pathogenic bacterial growth in the livestock thus prevent outbreak of harmful animal diseases like avian flu, swine flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathy etc. Acidifiers are also known as substitutes to effect of certain antibiotic. The end users of feed acidifiers are compounded feed manufacturers, farmers, home-mixes, livestock and aquaculture industry.

The dry form with blended compound of feed acidifier is highly used by the livestock farmers. The livestock growers are very much concerned about the health of their livestock has becoming more focused on providing more nutrient rich feed to the animal’s increases the demand of feed acidifier market. Asia Pacific is the largest market and will sustain its position of largest market of the feed acidifiers during the forecast period between 2022 and 2027.

Market Drivers

The driving force of the Feed Acidifiers Market is the increasing demand of protein rich food including meat and dairy products. People become more health conscious and including nutrients rich food products into their diet that increases the demand of meat, eggs and dairy products is increasing which in turn increase the growth of feed acidifiers in the market.

The increasing animal diseases like swine flu, avian flu, bovine spongiform encephalopathy etc pose a threat to animal health as well human health. The swine diarrhea has caused significant impact on U.S and addition to it, countries like China, India and Indonesia are facing constantly outbreaks of the swine flu and avian flu because of hot and humid climatic condition. Meat vendors and livestock farmers have suffered with a significant financial loss due to these diseases. Thus the growing concern about the livestock health is increasing the demand of feed acidifier in the market in order to keep livestock safe and healthy as feed acidifier is an effective medium to minimize animal disease thus reduce the animal disease outbreaks. Additionally, the feed acidifier helps in balancing pH inside the body of the livestock and prevent microbial and other pathogens growth thus improve animal health. Owing to benefits of feed acidifier over animal diseases drives the growth of feed acidifiers market in forecast period.

Moreover, the government of several countries has imposed strict regulations and awareness programs related to animal health which encourages livestock growers to take of their animal by providing them nutrient balanced feed by adding feed acidifier into it. Owing to this reason, the demand of feed acidifier is increasing which in turn boost the growth of feed acidifiers market in forecast period between 2022 and 2027.

Market Restraints

The growing trend of price increase in the feed acidifiers is hindering the market growth. The demand of acids are increasing as due to wide applications such as crop protect agent, solvent, as a food preservative, wide use in pharmaceuticals apart from being used as a feed acidifier. Due to their wide range of applications the price of acids is increasing which in turn increase the price of feed acidifiers in the market. Additionally, due to the corrosive property of the feed acidifier results in significant damage while handling them that hampers feed acidifiers market growth.
