• In the coming years, the market for animal growth promoters and performance enhancers is projected to witness a significant surge. It will expand to a whopping $20.85 billion by 2029, growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.
This anticipated growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as decreased use of antibiotics, advances in sustainable agriculture, and custom nutrition and nutritional enhancers. Major ongoing trends expected to influence the forecast period include, but are not limited to, naturally available and phytogenic additives, reduced usage of antibiotics, hormone and steroid-free meat production, and the use of nutritional additives.
The escalating demand for meat is a crucial element propelling the market of animal growth promoters and performance enhancers. These growth promoters function by encouraging weight gain and fat build-up in animals, contributing to increased meat yield and more costly livestock. As a principal protein provider, meat is essential for numerous individuals worldwide. Research from FAO states that meat production has seen a twofold increase over the preceding three decades. It is anticipated that meat production and consumption will persist in expanding. By the year 2050, the global quantity of meat consumed is expected to hit anywhere between 460 million and 570 million tons, which is likely to fuel the market for animal growth promoters and performance enhancers further.
