Global Feed Additives Market Size (2023 to 2028) 

The global feed additives market is expected to reach USD 55.9 billion by 2028 from USD 42.4 billion in 2023, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2028.  

Feed additives are the additional nutritional elements like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, and fungal components to enhance the health of livestock.

MARKET DRIVERS: 

The primary factor contributing to the demand in the global feed additives market is the rising population and its demand for meat products as a part of daily protein requirements. There was a huge spike in the elderly population's demand for products like milk, eggs, and meat, which is also driving the need for feed additives. Also, the consumer shift towards organic food products is pushing farm owners to employ healthy practices like natural feed additives for the growth of poultry animals. In addition, the strict government standards related to the safety of food products and the welfare of animals are supporting growth in the feed additives market.

The recent technological developments have resulted in improved feed additives with more efficiency, quality, and nutrient intake. Besides, to control the spread of diseases in livestock, farmers are turning towards feed additives with antioxidants, antimicrobial features, and immunity boosters. The surge in concerns related to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution created more demand for sustainable and eco-friendly feed additives. Also, with the globalization trend, livestock exports have skyrocketed in recent years, which indirectly promoted the feed additives market as the exported products should follow stringent national and international standards for food safety. Moreover, the boom in the adoption of advanced food processing technologies is supposed to create lucrative opportunities for the food additives market in the coming years. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS: 

The concerns related to antibiotic leftovers that can affect the health of people while consuming meat products is majorly hampering the global market growth. The environmental damages as a result of extracting feed additives from animal sources are creating a negative influence on the rapid development of this business. In addition, the volatility in the international markets for the prices of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and others used in the production of feed additives is causing a spike in the expenses for the manufacturers and high prices for the end users.

Although globalization opened doors to new markets, the stringent trade and export regulations are acting as a barrier for multinational companies. Besides, the consumer perceptions related to the use of synthetic additives and emphasis on animal welfare are also pulling the feed additives market down. Also, the economic uncertainties in several parts of the world are affecting the purchasing power of individuals and decreased investments in research and development activities. The geopolitical conditions leading to the supply chain challenges coupled with the intense business competition are acting as a serious threat to the global feed additives market. 

Impact of COVID-19 on the Feed Additives Market: 

The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge negative impact on the feed additives market due to disruptions to the supply chain and restricted logistics across the globe. The lockdown situation globally changed consumer priorities towards essentials, limiting feed additives production. In addition, the temporary shutdown of industries and social distancing measures led to the shortage of workforce in the manufacturing and distribution of feed additives. The market instability, along with the uncertainty in the adoption of new processes, limited most of the companies to slow down their investments, which affected the feed additives market. In addition, several governments have shifted funds towards essentials during COVID-19, which impacted additional investments and developments in the agriculture sector.

Moreover, the strict lockdown conditions and safety protocols resulted in the closure of end-user industries like hotels and restaurants, which impacted the demand for meat products. Also, the travel restrictions and closure of international borders to control the spread of the pandemic created a huge challenge in exports and imports of livestock. However, COVID-19 also highlighted the need for increased intake of proteins and new market strategies to build resilience in case of natural or man-made calamities.
