The North American feed ingredients market was valued at USD 46.46 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 49.16 billion in 2025 from USD 77.30 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.82% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033. 

A feed ingredient is a single component or a mixture of different components added to the feed. The ingredients are selected for their nutritional value, non-toxic effects, and also based on their cost. The primary nutrients that are essential for animals and will be a part of the feed are proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Along with these sources of starch and fiber content are also added.

The ingredients generally include cereals, by-products from mills, and any other nutritional sources. Byproducts from plants and animals, and those that are not suitable for human consumption, also find their way into animal feed. Ingredients that make the animals consume more feed or those that make them take food voluntarily are also included in the feed. Micronutrients required for the animals have also been manufactured in recent years.

Increasing food safety concerns, especially regarding the quality of meat and animal products, are the major factor driving the growth of feed ingredients markets. Increasing demand for nutritional feed for animals, rising number of animal infections, the thriving trend of nurturing companion animals, and the requirements of farmers to increase the production, as well as the rate of production of meat, are expected to propel the market. However, stringent regulations on meat and its products by international agencies and a lack of awareness among many farmers regarding the feed requirements of the animals are restraining the market growth.
