Therefore, the anticipated demand for the food product will drive the demand for the swine feed acidulants market during the projected period.

Growing the Demand for Swine Feed Acidulants

The rising awareness regarding the benefits of swine feed acidulants, the increased prevalence of animal illnesses and disorders, the ban on the use of growth-promoting antibiotics in animal feed, and the increase in the number of the global pig population will emerge as the primary growth of the livestock sector expansion which will be demanded for swine feed acidulants.

As per the data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority, it is anticipated that the overall pig population in the nation will reach 10.07 million by June 30, 2023, indicating a 1.4% rise from the preceding year's count of 9.94 million. The small-scale farms contribute to approximately 67.5% of the total pig population, while the commercial and semi-commercial farms account for 29.2% and 3.2%, respectively.

Furthermore, the growing concern about the safety of the ingredients used in the production of animal feed, the increasing shift to natural growth factors, the increasing rate of industrialization increased awareness of animal health, increased demand for dairy products, and increased spending on research and product development in the field associated with new product launches are other important factors driving the growth of the market. The increase in government initiatives to promote the feed industry and the growing popularity of meat and meat products will create more lucrative and exponential growth in the swine feed acidulants market.

Higher Prices of Raw Materials With Low Supply

Feed acidulants are compounds that lower the pH of the feed, thereby improving nutrient digestibility and reducing the risk of bacterial contamination. Citric acid, lactic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, and fumaric acid are common raw materials used in the production of feed acidulants for pigs.

The citric acid market in the United States has been gradually expanding since the beginning of 2023, following a period of persistent price declines in the prior months. Furthermore, prices are likely to grow during the month due to a lack of Citric Acid imports from key exporting countries, mainly China. While the price of Citric Acid in China is currently increasing, the product's cost on the domestic market is increasing.

Manufacturers are currently limiting orders owing to fluctuating and increasing pricing, which is lowering imports and promoting price rises in the United States. As a result, rising prices will hamper the expansion of the swine feed acidulants market.

Segment Analysis

The global swine feed acidulants market is segmented based on type, fruit, form, compound, nature, distribution channel, packaging, function and region.

Controlling the pH of the Swine Digestive Tract

The segment responsible for pH control function holds a significant portion of the global market for swine feed acidulants. The increasing demand for pH control functions in swine feed acidulants can be attributed to the crucial role of maintaining appropriate pH levels in a swine's digestive tract for efficient nutrient absorption and digestion. This is essential for optimizing the health, performance, and overall well-being of swine in modern livestock farming. Additionally, swine require various nutrients for proper growth and development, and controlling pH levels in their digestive systems helps maximize the utilization of these nutrients, leading to better growth rates, improved feed efficiency, and reduced feed wastage.

Furthermore, as regulations on the use of antibiotics and other additives in livestock feed become more stringent, acidulants are gaining popularity as a safe and compliant option for promoting swine health and performance. For instance, on July 21, 2022, the United States and the Philippines launched a new project aimed at strengthening local veterinary services for safe pork and pork products. This project was launched as part of the USDA Agribusiness Trade Mission to the Philippines from July 18 to 21. Administrator Whitley is leading a delegation of 16 U.S. companies, 10 State Departments of Agriculture, and 11 trade associations to strengthen U.S.-Philippine economic and agricultural partnerships and boost food security.

Geographical Penetration

Increasing The Swine Population In Asia Pacific

Asia-Pacific dominates the swine feed acidulants market and will continue to thrive its dominance during the forecast period owing to the readily available microbial products, increasing research and development activities, growing consumption and production of pigs especially in India and China, rise in government initiatives to promote the growth of agricultural industry, escalating product innovations and expanding personal disposable income.

According to the Phillippine Statistics Authority, As of 30 June 2023, the country's total pig inventory was estimated at 10.07 million heads. This was 1.4 percent higher than the previous year's same-period count of 9.94 million heads. About 67.5 percent of the country's pig population came from smallholder farms, while the remaining 29.2 percent and 3.2 percent were from commercial and semi-commercial farms, respectively.

The USDA reported that In 2023, pork imports are expected to increase by nearly 4 percent YOY to 2.2 MMT on stronger consumer demand following the end of COVID restrictions, but further growth will be limited by higher domestic production.
