The global silage inoculant market size is expected to reach USD 350.56 million in 2024 and reach USD 428.5 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2024 to 2029.
Silage inoculants are microbial inoculants. They improve silage quality and control the preservation process of forage, ensuring maximum nutrient retention at the time of feeding. Silage improves the animal performance and health; subsequently improving the yield and quality of food from animal origin. Silage Inoculants are used in treating crops with sufficient water-soluble carbohydrates and moisture content. Fermentation of silage is a very uncontrollable process that leads to nutritional losses in the silage. Silage inoculant products are slowly gaining the attention of consumers as they are cost-effective solutions. The silage inoculant market is developing at a significant rate due to the increase in the livestock population.
The growth of the global silage inoculant market is majorly driven by factors such as the growth in global meat consumption, increase in mass production of meat, and improvement in the quality of silage. Globally increasing population is also supporting the growth of the world meat market, ultimately increasing demand for silage inoculants.
Factors such as lack of awareness about silage inoculants among livestock farmers and improper fermentation of forage due to less efficiency of silage inoculants in the fermentation process of silage crops are restraining the growth of the market. Increasing demand for compound feed & feed additives is another major factor restricting the growth of this market.
