Global Compound Feed Market Drivers:

Shifting consumer preferences towards animal-sourced food is primarily fueling growth of the compound feed market. Moreover, increasing consumption of meat, eggs, and milk due to growing awareness regarding health benefits of animal sourced protein is again contributing to market growth. Additionally, growing disposable income, especially in the developing countries, such as India and Brazil is also fostering market growth.

Increasing consumption of seafood such as fish is projected to uplift the market growth over the forecast period. According to the Coherent Market Insights analysis, Fish is sought out as a major source of protein worldwide, accounting for <10% of animal protein source in North America and Europe, and up to 26% of animal protein source in Asia and Africa, thus, processed products are being driven by high accessibility of fish protein internationally.

Global Compound Feed Market Opportunities:

The growing demand for animal products and processed meat is creating an opportunity for feed manufacturers to increase animal productivity. A rise in demand for various animal products, such as dairy products, milk, meat products, eggs, fish, and other non-food items, has led to the growth in the use of feed additives, thus, propelling growth of compound feed in the animal feed market.

The Indian feed industry is projected to expand at a prosperous growth rate, particularly due to the growing demand for animal-based protein and dairy products in the country. Despite the expanding supply-demand gap in the corn trade, the market is expected to be viewed as a potential investment hub, especially, due to the surging demand from the domestic poultry sector.

Global Compound Feed Market Trends:

The worldwide growing demand for meat, due to the high- quality protein it offer has led to the rising production of sheep meat, which increased drastically from 15,045.41 metric ton in 2018 to 15,343.43 metric ton in 2019 (OECD). Thus, to meet the feed requirement of the increasing cattle, the demand for compound feed has also rise. This is augmenting the overall compound feed revenue.

Global Compound Feed Market Restraints:

Growing demand for organically sourced meat, egg, and dairy products is expected to restrict the market growth. According to the Organic Trade Association, the sales of the US organic food market accounted for USD 45 billion in 2017, which is a 6% increase over the previous year and more than double the sales a decade ago.

Fluctuating price of raw materials such as seed and plant leaves is another key factor anticipated to curb the market growth over the forecast period. Also, cost of cereals such as barley, corn, and oats has been increasing which is again expected to negatively impact the market growth.
