What Is The Driver Of The Feed And Animal Nutrition Market?

The increased consumption of meat, dairy, and poultry products is expected to propel the growth of the feed and animal nutrition market going forward. Meat, dairy, and poultry products refer to animal-derived food items, including beef, pork, chicken, eggs, milk, and cheese. The increased consumption of meat, dairy, and poultry products is rising due to higher income levels and changing dietary habits. Feed and animal nutrition support the consumption of meat, dairy, and poultry products by enhancing animal growth rates, feed efficiency, reproductive performance, and disease resistance, which together improve product quality, ensure consistent supply, reduce production costs, and enable producers to meet rising consumer demand for safe, nutritious, and affordable animal-derived foods. For instance, in July 2024, according to the INAPORC (Interprofession Nationale Porcine), a France-based national pork association, in 2023, pork was still the most consumed meat in France, with about 30.6 kg per person per year. Therefore, increased consumption of meat, dairy, and poultry products is driving the feed and animal nutrition industry.

Global Feed And Animal Nutrition Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the feed and animal nutrition market are focusing on developing innovative products such as next-generation amino acid feed supplements to support efficient protein utilization, sustainable livestock production, and improved feed efficiency. Next-generation amino acid feed supplements are advanced nutritional additives produced using fermentation or biochemical processes that deliver precise concentrations of essential amino acids with high bioavailability, enhanced stability, and a lower environmental footprint compared to conventional protein-rich feed ingredients such as soybean meal. For instance, in June 2023, Evonik Industries AG, a Germany-based specialty chemicals and animal nutrition company, launched an updated version of its Biolys product, a widely used lysine supplement for animal feed. The updated Biolys features L-lysine sulfate produced through fermentation, along with naturally occurring co-products that offer additional nutritional benefits. This formulation supports optimized amino acid balance in animal diets, enhances growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, and nitrogen utilization in poultry and swine, and enables feed formulators to reduce crude protein levels. Additionally, the improved product provides greater consistency, easier handling, and increased formulation flexibility, aligning with precision nutrition and sustainability goals in modern animal production systems.
