What Are The Drivers Of The Blood Meal Market?

The growing demand for animal meat is expected to boost the growth of the blood meal market going forward. Animal meat refers to the flesh or other edible parts of domesticated or edible animals, such as cattle, swine, sheep, fish, and birds, which are used for food. A blood meal is a by-product of animal slaughter that is used as a dietary supplement for livestock such as cattle, fish, and poultry, which is high in protein and contains low levels of phosphorus and potassium, used as a feed additive for animals. For instance, in July 2024, according to Carlisle Technology, a US-based company providing software and hardware solutions for the food industry, chicken consumption, currently at 98.90 pounds per person, is projected to increase to 107.50 pounds by 2033, driven by its affordability and health benefits. In 2022, Americans consumed 98.90 pounds of broiler chicken per capita, with this figure set to rise significantly by 2033. Furthermore, poultry meat consumption is expected to rise to 154 metric tons globally throughout the forecast period, accounting for roughly half of the increased meat consumed. Therefore, the growing demand for animal meat is driving the growth of the blood meal industry. The increase in livestock population is expected to propel the growth of the blood meal market going forward. Livestock refers to domesticated animals that are raised on farms or in various agricultural settings for various purposes, such as food production, labor, and other products. Common types of livestock include cattle (such as cows and bulls), sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, and horses, among others. Blood meals are known for their high protein content and essential nutrients, making them a valuable ingredient in formulating nutritionally balanced feeds for a growing and diverse livestock population. Additionally, the efficient utilization of blood meal in optimizing feed formulations supports the health, growth, and overall productivity of livestock and aquaculture species. For instance, in August 2024, according to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, a UK-based government department, the pig population in England grew by 1.3%, reaching 3.7 million, largely due to a 1.5% increase in the number of fattening pigs. Therefore, the increase in livestock population is driving the growth of the feed pigment market.
