The feed carbohydrase market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In the past few years, there has been a notable increase in the size of the feed carbohydrase market. Its growth is projected to advance from $3.62 billion in 2024 to $3.85 billion in 2025, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.
The historical period's growth can be credited to factors such as enhanced attention on feed efficiency, regulatory authorizations, increased awareness and education, demand for economical solutions, and an expansion in livestock production.
The feed carbohydrase market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the coming years, a substantial surge is anticipated in the feed carbohydrase market size. By 2029, the market is projected to expand up to "$5.11 billion, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.
The predicted upturn during the projected period could be due to an increased demand for animal protein, the push for more eco-friendly farming, emphasis on animal health and welfare, regulatory backing for feed additives, and growth in the livestock and poultry sectors. The forecasted period is likely to see trends such as precision nutrition solutions, personalized enzyme mixtures, technological advancement in enzyme development, proliferation in the aquaculture industry, and use in unconventional feed sources.
Increased consumption of meat is anticipated to spur the growth of the feed carbohydrase market in the future. The term meat consumption indicates the quantity of meat ingested by humans as food, which could come from various sources like beef, pork, poultry, and fish. Feed carbohydrases are utilized in meat production to enhance the nutritive content and digestibility of animal feed. They achieve this by breaking down the complex carbohydrates present in the feed into simpler sugars that the animal can absorb and digest more easily. As such, these factors give a push to the feed carbohydrase market. For example, reports published by the United States Department of Agriculture in April 2024 showed that the total production of cattle, calves, hogs, and pigs hit 86.6 billion pounds in 2023, a slight rise from 2022 levels. Hence, the upward trend in meat consumption is fueling the feed carbohydrase market.
