The trace minerals in feed market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent years, the market size for trace minerals in feed has experienced substantial growth. The growth projection for this market is set at an increase from $557.08 billion in 2024 to $588.92 billion in 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth during the historical period is linked to the early comprehension of animal nutrition, conventional livestock farming methods, the introduction of feed additives, scientific studies on animal health, and the expansion of the livestock industry.
The Trace Minerals in Feed market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for trace minerals in feed is anticipated to witness robust growth in the upcoming years. It is projected to escalate to $738.28 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%.
The expected growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as enhanced consumer awareness and education, the global expansion in livestock production, advancements in research and development in animal nutrition, growing environmental and sustainability concerns, and a concentrated focus on animal health and performance. Notable trends for the forecast period include a heightened focus on animal nutrition, an increase in livestock production, advancements in science, rising environmental concerns, and regulatory standards.
The surge in preference for protein sourced from animals is anticipated to stimulate the growth of the trace minerals in feed market. Protein sourced from animals includes products such as meat, offal, milk, and eggs. Implementing trace minerals in such animal-based proteins is a vital part of animal nutrition. This practice aims to tackle any potential insufficiencies and improve the health and productivity of livestock, thanks to the tactical addition of absorbable trace mineral sources in their feed. As an illustration, a study conducted by the University of Minnesota's College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) together with the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a non-profit organization in the United States, revealed in June 2022 that 80% of U.S. adult consumers primarily source their protein from animal-based products including pork, beef, poultry, and fish. Hence, the escalating demand for protein derived from animals is prompting growth in the trace minerals in feed market.
