The animal derivatives market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the past few years, the animal derivatives market size has witnessed significant growth. The market, which was valued at $12.55 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $13.3 billion in 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%.
The exponential growth during the historic period is due to several factors, such as its traditional use in the food industry, increase in global population, improved disposable income, cultural and dietary choices, the nutritional value it offers, and more demand for proteins.
The animal derivatives market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the animal derivatives market, with substantial growth forecasted over the next few years. It is predicted to expand to "$17.02 billion by 2029, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.
This anticipated increase during the forecast period is due to the ongoing growth in population, increasing urbanization and westernization, a swell in middle-class consumers, a shift towards a focus on health and wellness, and a diversity in product offerings. Key trends expected within this forecast period involve the emergence of plant-based alternatives, advances in processing technologies, integration in functional foods, global regulatory developments, and the expansion of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer models.
The growth trajectory of the animal derivatives market is anticipated to be fueled by increased expenditures on pet food. Pet food, which is a commercially crafted food exclusively intended and produced for the dietary needs of domestic animals, typically incorporates animal derivatives as a primary source of proteins and diverse nutrients. In March 2023, the American Pet Products Association (APPA), a non-profit industry organization based in the US, released statistics indicating a 16.2% increase in US pet food spending in 2022 over the previous year, peaking at $58.1 billion. Hence, the surge in pet food spending is a significant driver of the animal derivatives market.
