Key Takeaways of the Graph:
By animal type, the poultry animal type held dominant position in the market and accounted for 65% share in the global feed acid market in 2020. The segment is expected to reach US$ 1,887.47 million in 2028. Poultry livestock has been significantly contributing to the demand witnessed in the feed acid market over the last few years. It is expected to remain a popular animal type through the course of the forecast period.
Global Feed Acid Market: Restraints
Factors such as volatility and strong odor limit the use of feed acids. Also, some feed acids are corrosive to intestines of animal which are again limiting the use of feed acid. Such factors are hindering the market growth of the feed acids.
The availability of alternative protein sources is declining the consumption of the meat. Also, strict rules and regulations associated with the use of feed acid in the animal diet are expected to hinder the market growth of the feed acid.
Global Feed Acid Market: Competitive Landscape
Major players operating in the global feed acid market include, ADDCON GmbH, BASF SE, Biomin GmbH, Perstorp AB, Kemin Industries Inc., Impextraco, Jefo Nutrition Inc., Novus International, Corbion Purac, and Trouw Nutrition International B.V.
The animal feed industry has been severely affected by the emergence of Covid-19 and decline in demand for various products in poultry, pork, and dairy sectors. The sudden change in the consumer's behavior in the face of the pandemic has forced manufacturers to re-evaluate their strategies and policies. The animal feed industry is also a complex sector due to the fact that its processing and distribution involve multiple entities such as the livestock supplier, meatpackers and processors. The animal feed industry is one of the few sectors that has been able to maintain strong growth despite the downward trend in agricultural exports as a result of the pandemic.
Market Dynamics:
Availability of registration facilities for feed additives is expected to propel growth of the global feed acid market over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2021, The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine approved a registration dossier, which offers the procedure for state registration of feed additives in Ukraine.
The global feed acid market is witnessing ban on feed additives with GMO residues. For instance, in May 2021, Rosselhoznadzor, the Russian veterinary watchdog, barred feed additives import from Germany, the U.K, and Canada after a routine inspection revealed GMO residues in supplied products. Earlier this year, Rosselhoznadzor banned the feed additives import from Spain and the US, as well as from the Netherlands in late 2020, in each case also citing GMO fears.
