The global feed additives market is segmented by type (performance additives [amino acids {lysine, methionine, threonine, and other amino acids}, minerals {macrominerals and trace minerals}, vitamins [fat-soluble vitamins {vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin D, and vitamin K}, and water-soluble vitamins {vitamin C and vitamin B complex}), specialty additives [acidifiers, probiotics {lactobacillus, bifidobacterium, and yeast and other microbes}, enzymes {phytase, carbohydrase, and protease}, antioxidants {ethoxyquin, BHT, BHA, and others}, antibiotics, and other antioxidants], animal type [poultry {broilers, layers, turkey, other poultry birds}, ruminants {beef ruminants and dairy ruminants}, swine, aquatic animals, and other animals], source [synthetic feed additives and natural feed additives], form [dry feed additives and liquid feed additives]), and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the country-level markets.

Based on type, the global feed additives market is segmented into performance additives, specialty additives, and other types. In 2023, the performance additives segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global feed additives market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing awareness among the farmers about the benefits of amino acids, minerals, and vitamins; the rising demand for compound animal feed with higher nutrient contents to improve feed intake; and the growing use of performance additives to metabolism and efficiency of feed utilization for economic and eco-friendly livestock production.

Based on animal type, the global feed additives market is segmented into poultry, ruminants, swine, aquatic animals, and other animals. In 2023, the poultry segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global feed additives market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing demand for micro-nutrients in poultry production, consumers’ preference for poultry meat & eggs, low production as well as product cost of poultry meat, and high production of compound feed for poultry.

Based on source, the global feed additives market is segmented into synthetic feed additives and natural feed additives. In 2023, the synthetic feed additives segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global feed additives market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the easier availability of synthetic raw materials, lower production costs, and stronger market penetration. However, the natural feed additives segment is projected to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Natural feed additives reduce environmental impact and are considered a safer and more sustainable alternative to synthetic additives. Furthermore, there is a growing market for natural and organic food products. These factors contribute to the growth of this segment.

Based on form, the global feed additives market is segmented into dry feed additives and liquid feed additives. In 2023, the dry feed additives segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global feed additives market. However, the liquid feed additives segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is driven by the shift towards liquid supplements due to their improved shelf life and versatility for various applications.

An in-depth geographic analysis of the industry provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights into the five major regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) and the coverage of major countries in each region. North America is slated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, mainly due to increasing awareness about the benefits of additives for animal feed, the increase in outbreaks of diseases, and the increasing focus on animal productivity.
