Animal Nutrition Organic Acids Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Benzoic Acid, Butyric Acid), Species (Aqua, Poultry), Delivery System (Protected, Unprotected) and By Geography

Animal Nutrition Organic Acids Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Benzoic Acid, Butyric Acid), Species (Aqua, Poultry), Delivery System (Protected, Unprotected) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Animal Nutrition Organic Acids Market is accounted for $125.23 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $221.69 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Animal nutrition organic acids are being gradually used for feed preservation in commercial compound feeds and applications related to diets in pigs and poultry. These acids have proven to be greatly effective in conserving the growth performance of animals. Among the existing antibiotic growth promoters, organic acids are proven to be the most reliable product group.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Progressively Used in Feed Preservation

Organic acids are being increasingly used for feed preservation in commercial compound feeds and applications related to diets in pigs and poultry. These acids have proven to be highly effective in maintaining the growth performance of animals. Among the available antibiotic growth promoters, organic acids are proven to be the most reliable product group. The primary mode of action of these acids is through the antimicrobial effects and its intensity is dependent on the chemical composition of its salts and derivatives. Recently, a number of antibiotics have been withdrawn from poultry diets majorly in regions such as Europe, North America, and others, which led to an increased risk of occurrence of dysbacteriosis and other diseases among the birds. Deaths resulting from these diseases contributed to about 20% of poultry production costs in developed countries such as Europe.

Restraint:

Increasing Safety Concerns

Due to the increasing safety concerns about the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance in the environment, and the presence of chemical residues in animal products, using organic acids (OAs) to replace antibiotic in the diet of farm animals has increased considerably. Many countries have enforced a ban on the use of all antibiotics in animal feed as growth promoters due to public health concerns about the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. There are a variety of candidates for the replacement of antibiotic growth promoters like probiotic, prebiotics, herbs, or essential oil. Organic acids have been suggested as alternatives to replace antibiotics in the diets of animals.

Opportunity:

Industrialization of Meat Products

Increase in global meat consumption, industrialization of meat products, and rise in awareness of the quality of dairy and meat products consumed motivates the animal acid nutrition market growth. Addition of acids improves the hygiene status of animal feed. Acids have a positive effect on the digestive tract, improve the flavor of the animal feed, and can be supplemented with nutrients. Acids act as highly effective alternatives to conventional performance enhancers when mixed in correct proportions. Usage of organic acids in animal nutrition has gained significant importance in the feed industry.

Threat:

Highly Competitive

Most of the players in the market are focusing on differentiating themselves from other players as the market is highly competitive and fragmented in nature. Manufacturers of organic acids such as Butyric Acid, sorbic acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, lactylates, and myristic acid are continuously engaged in partnerships along with collaborations. Through these operational integrations, manufacturers are trying to reach out to potential consumers of organic acid who are involved in manufacturing a variety of animal nutrition products.

Unprotected segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The unprotected segment is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. The growth is attributable to its ability to enhance the growth performance and digestibility in animals as it offers direct and high-level transfer of acid, certainly impacting animal health while preventing cross-contamination. Innovative products, such as protected acid, can be used to improve performance in animals. For instance, sodium butyrate feed additives, in both partially unprotected and protected forms; prevent Salmonella migration in Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) organs, whereas only the protected source of the sodium butyrate reduces its migration to internal organs (liver). Enhancing gut health is a key to improve animal performance. Particularly animals need support to maintain and develop healthy microflora in their intestinal tract.

The Antimicrobial Capacity segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Antimicrobial capacity application dominated the market. This high CAGR is attributable to the high antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of organic acids. Organic acids, particularly fatty acids such as butyric acid, increase the growth of the gastrointestinal mucosa in animals, thereby enhancing their health. The usage of butyric acid as a medium for antimicrobial capacity is growing for the swine market as it improves the performance of young pigs with the help of nutrient digestion, maintains the jejunal morphology in young pigs, and improves jejunal antioxidant capacity.

Region with highest share:

The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market shareowing to the growing consumption of meat and meat products in populated economies of India. Vietnam and Thailand are among the most prominent markets for animal nutrition products in the Asia Pacific province due to the large-scale farming in these countries. Asia Pacific, which is led by economies including India, China, Japan, Vietnam, and Thailand, emerged as a prominent market globally. Pork and poultry emerged as the prominent livestock segment in the developing countries owing to the growing preference for meat in local food. The demand for animal nutrition products in these countries is projected to witness growth over the forecast period owing to the presence of an abundant livestock population.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR, owing to growing population, high purchasing power, and increasing awareness as well as changing perception towards healthy features of products are propelling the demand and consumption of across Europe. Government regulations and restrictions on the use of chemicals as preservatives in food, feed, and agriculture industries are some of the major factors boosting the demand in Europe. The number of population has increased in the European region, which further increases the demand. Hence, creating a potential market growth for the market studied during the forecast period. Organic acids have been used for decades in commercial compound feeds, mostly for feed preservation, for which formic and propionic acids are particularly effective. In the European Union, these two organic acids and several others (lactic, citric, fumaric and sorbic acids) and their salts (e.g., calcium formate, calcium propionate) are used under the classification ""feed preservatives"". One such organic acid salt is also approved for use as a zootechnical additive (products that formerly included antibiotics and other growth promoters) for enhancing performance in pigs. To achieve this status for each lifestage of a species, evidence of significant performance enhancement (feed conversion ratio, live weight gain) must be shown in three separate trials for each recommended dosage.

Key players in the market:

Some of the key players profiled in the Animal Nutrition Organic Acids Market include Carboic, Thyssenkrupp AG, ADM, Croda International Plc, Cargill, Incorporated, Eastman Chemical Company, BASF SE, Dow.
