Market Restraints

• Stringent rules and regulations

The growth of the corn gluten feed market is restrained by several factors such as the presence of alternatives to local feed, sensitivity to gluten, and changes in regulations for feed safety in the European Union regarding the rising imports of Genetically Modified (GM) bacteria in gluten feed.

Market Trends

The production of compound feed as well as commercial feed is rapidly increasing which is expected to boost the corn gluten feed market. Corn gluten feed is a protein and fiber rich ingredient containing significant amount of nutrients for better growth and improved health.

Corn Gluten Feed (CGF) is equivalent to soybean meal as a protein source and high in digestible energy, protein, and phosphorus. The dry corn gluten feed market is predicted to increase significantly in the worldwide corn gluten feed industry due to the fact that dry CGF is generally pleasant and easily digested by cattle. Therefore, the global corn gluten feed market is expected to witness significant growth in the near future.

Market Opportunities

• Escalating need to replace more expensive, chemically processed regular feed

A rising number of people are choosing corn gluten meal over conventional livestock and aquatic feed. This is because, when compared to other chemically processed feeds, the feed offers a superior non-toxic feed products. Because it is less expensive than aquaculture meal, it is quickly gaining appeal as a alternative.

Key Developments

• In 2020, more than 40.6% of the overall meat production belonged to the poultry group, according to the FAO. Globally, the vast majority of consumers are looking to boost their protein intake, which has led to the increased consumption of meat and eggs. These factors along with the growing consumption of processed meat in the fast-food sector will propel the gluten product demand significantly.
• In February 2022Feed millers could employ a NIR-based technology to maximize the usage of high-value raw materials, Si-Ware. FT-NIR spectral scanning technology would make it possible to measure the protein and nutrient content of raw materials, enabling real-time decisions to maximize feed production and lower input costs. According to the business, the cost of input raw materials like soybean meals and corn gluten meals is rising, which will eventually result in cost savings.
• In February 2022, Gujarat Ambuja Exports, an manufacture and distributer announced to build a brand-new corn wet milling facility in Uttarakhand, India. The corn wet milling plant is being built for the production of sorbitol, maltitol, and mannitol, as well as starch and starch derivatives.
