Global Animal Nutrition Organic Acids Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Animal Nutrition Organic Acids market size was valued at US$ 2347 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 3181 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.5% during review period.

Almost all the organic acids used in animal nutrition, such as formic, propionic, lactic, acetic, sorbic or citric acids have an aliphatic structure and represent a source of energy for the cells. Benzoic acid, instead, is built on an aromatic ring and has different metabolic and absorption characteristics.The main mode of action of organic acids is through their antimicrobial effects, the magnitude of which is dependent on the chemical properties of the individual acid or acid salt. Dietary organic acids act as antimicrobials in the feed and thus improve the feed’s hygienic quality.

Organic acids are capable to reduce pH in feed. In addition, organic acids have the ability to cross the cell membranes of bacteria. And once inside the cell they will dissociate and disturb metabolism.

As a result, proliferation of the bacteria is reduced, resulting in lower pathogen counts in the intestinal tract. With the combination of these two modes of action of organic acids, growth of pathogenic bacteria in the feed can be reduced, therefore reduces digestive disturbances in the intestinal tract.

Organic acids have been used in commercial compound feeds, mostly for feed preservation, and its application to diets for poultry and pigs.

The global animal nutrition organic acids market refers to the market for organic acids used in animal feed and nutrition to promote animal health, improve feed efficiency, and enhance overall animal performance. Organic acids are natural compounds derived from plant and animal sources or produced through microbial fermentation. They are used as feed additives to enhance digestion, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, improve nutrient absorption, and maintain gut health in animals. Here are some key insights into the global animal nutrition organic acids market:

Growing Demand for Animal Protein: The increasing global demand for animal protein, such as meat, milk, and eggs, is driving the need for improved animal nutrition. Organic acids play a crucial role in enhancing feed efficiency, supporting growth, and preventing diseases in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture animals. As the demand for animal protein rises, the use of organic acids in animal nutrition is expected to increase.

Feed Preservation and Pathogen Control: Organic acids, such as formic acid, propionic acid, and acetic acid, have antimicrobial properties and can effectively inhibit the growth of pathogens in animal feed, including bacteria, molds, and yeast. They help preserve the quality and shelf life of feed ingredients, thereby reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and improving animal health.

Gut Health and Digestive Function: Organic acids can improve gut health and digestive function in animals. They help maintain the optimal pH levels in the gastrointestinal tract, which supports the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibits the proliferation of harmful pathogens. Improved gut health leads to better nutrient absorption, enhanced digestion, reduced digestive upset, and improved overall animal performance.

Replacement for Antibiotics: With the increasing restrictions on the use of antibiotics in animal production due to concerns about antimicrobial resistance, organic acids are gaining popularity as alternative feed additives. They can help promote animal health, reduce the reliance on antibiotics, and comply with regulatory guidelines related to antibiotic use in animal nutrition.

Aquaculture Sector Growth: The aquaculture sector is witnessing significant growth, driven by increasing global demand for fish and seafood. Organic acids find extensive use in aquaculture to enhance water quality, control bacterial diseases, and improve the feed conversion ratio of fish and shrimp. As aquaculture production expands, the demand for organic acids in this sector is expected to rise.

Geographical Analysis: Europe and North America currently dominate the global animal nutrition organic acids market. These regions have well-established animal nutrition industries, stringent regulations on antibiotic use, and a high level of awareness about the benefits of organic acid supplementation. However, the market is witnessing substantial growth in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and other emerging regions due to the rapid expansion of animal production and increasing awareness about animal health and welfare.

The global animal nutrition organic acids market is expected to witness sustained growth as the demand for improved animal nutrition, animal health, and sustainable farming practices continues to rise. The focus on reducing antibiotic use, increasing awareness about gut health, and improving animal performance will drive the adoption of organic acids in animal nutrition worldwide.The global animal nutrition organic acids market refers to the market for organic acids used in animal feed and nutrition to promote animal health, improve feed efficiency, and enhance overall animal performance.
