Poultry Feed Market Growth Factors

The factors such as the surge in demand for organic feed and growing production of livestock production are driving the growth of global poultry feed market. As per the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, poultry requires 13% fat, 60% protein, and 3% calcium. Therefore, poultry by products and fish food are used to meet the nutrient requirements. The by-product accounts for about 50% and the live market weight of ruminants and 30% of the live market weight of poultry. These by products are processed, pulverized, and used as chicken feed. Poultry meat is becoming more popular around the world, with consumption rising from 45,033 metric tons in 2018 to 45,938 metric tons in 2020.

Poultry chicken is regarded as one of the most cost-effective sources of protein and as a result, the demand for poultry goods such as eggs and meat is continually increasing. As per the United States Department of Agriculture, worldwide chicken meat production will likely to exceed 97.8 million tons in 2019, up 2% from 2018. The market for poultry feed is also growing due to favorable government regulations. By 2019, the integration of insect protein in poultry feed will have high requirement for poultry feed, thus projecting the growth of global poultry feed market. In February 2018, the European Commission’s Health and Food Safety Commissioner allowed the incorporation of insect protein in poultry feed.

Report Scope of the Poultry Feed Market

Livestock Insights

The broilers segment dominated the poultry feed market in 2023 with revenue share of 71%. The broilers are chickens or birds raised purely for the purpose of producing meat. They have genes that allow them to grow more quickly than native chickens and layers. Broilers can gain a lot of weight in a short amount of time, which might cause their vents to expand or make them paralyzed and unable to walk as a result of their extreme weight increase. Broiler meals are designed to provide extra energy to help them gain weight.

The layers segment is expected to witness strong growth over the forecast period. The primary purpose of layer farming is to produce eggs. As the world’s population grows, so does the demand for food and energy, resulting in an increase in layer production around the world. The key factors driving the demand for the layers segment are rising per capita egg consumption and worldwide population increase.

Additive Insights

The amino acid segment dominated the poultry feed market in 2023. The amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The amino acids are left over after proteins are broken down or digested properly. The amino acid segment is growing due to benefits provided by it. It is one of the good sources of proteins and nutrition. In addition, the amino acids help in digestion of animal bodies. That’s the fact, amino acids are added to the poultry feed.

The vitamins segment is projected to grow at a strong growth during the forecast period. Vitamins are a collection of chemical molecules that must be consumed in modest amounts. Vitamins are vital additives because they govern regular bodily processes, reproduction, and growth. Water soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins are two types of vitamins that can be found in the body.
