Feed Premix Market TrendsIncreasing Demand for High-value Animal Protein

The rising demand for high-value meat and dairy protein from health-conscious consumers is driving the feed premix industry. Livestock production is one of the fastest-growing segments in the agriculture industry. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation, the demand for poultry meat in South Asia is projected to increase by 725% by 2030, with India contributing to an expected 850% increase in demand. India also has the largest cattle inventory in the world, followed by Brazil and China.

According to FAO, demand for meat declined due to the pandemic-induced supply chain issues but is expected to normalize and grow after economic activities come back to a normal level. World meat production remained stable in 2020 at 325.2 million metric tons, as output increases in poultry and ovine meats offset contractions in pig and bovine meat production. Total poultry meat production in 2020 was at 132 million metric tons, which has moved up around 5 % from 2019, supported by a sharp rise in demand in China.

Moreover, the surging demand for environmentally safe and chemical-residue-free meat, meat products, and milk and milk products is emphasizing the need for increased productivity through feed premixes.

Growth in Asia-Pacific Projected to be Robust

There has been consistent growth in the animal husbandry industry in the Asia-Pacific region. Countries in the region are increasingly moving toward a systematic and industrialized production of livestock. Average herd sizes are increasing, as well as the productivity of animals. However, the farmers in the region are also dependent on home-grown feed, especially ruminants and swine. With an increase in awareness about providing optimum nutrition to animals for increasing productivity as well as animal health, premixes are increasingly finding their way into these traditional markets. The region is also characterized by the typical usage of both compound feed and home-grown feed for smaller herd-size farms. This phenomenon is expected to continue well into the forecast period, and the region is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing geographical segment of the feed premix market over the forecast period.
