What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Direct-Fed Microbials (DFM) Market?
Anticipated upsurge in the consumption of meat and milk is predicted to stimulate the expansion of the direct-fed microbial (DFM) market in the foreseeable future. Meat is referred to as the edible flesh of animals, including fish and birds that can be incorporated into a healthy diet. Milk, on the other hand, is a white liquid nourishment produced by the mammary glands of mammals. The escalating consumption of meat and milk in evolving nations is attributed to population surge, urban development, and growth in income. Direct-fed microbials serve to augment milk yield and the growth progress of animals, consequently catering to the escalating demand for meat and milk. For example, according to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), a dedicated entity of the United Nations leading global initiatives to combat hunger and enhance nutrition safety, there is an expectation of a 1.7% annual increase in global meat consumption through 2022. Thus, the growing demand for meat and milk is fueling the market's growth.
