Animal Milk Replacer Market

Animal Milk Replacer Market Research, 2030

The global animal milk replacer market was valued at $4.1 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $6.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2021 to 2030.

Trade restrictions imposed by several countries across the globe to curb the outbreak of COVID-19 have significantly affected global logistics and transportation. While the demand for animal feed has been largely consistent, the coronavirus outbreak has severely impacted the supply of animal milk replacers and other products in the market. Nations such as Romania, have banned exports to non-EU countries, causing serious demand-supply issues in the animal feed business and thus, shortage of animal milk replacers occurred in the market.

The animal milk replacer business is experiencing rapid growth, as the milk producers have started replacing the traditional animal feed with nutritionally balanced compound feed in terms of milk and other food, as they have realized the tangible benefits of nutritional feed in terms of yield improvement. Livestock production in the Asia-Pacific region has been growing faster than any other agricultural sub-sector, mainly due to substantial growth of pig, livestock, and poultry industries, as the livestock industry is the most crucial part of agricultural development. Livestock products contribute around 40% of the total agricultural output in global sales. Calf milk replacer falls under livestock product category and offer an immense potential to manufacturers to deliver innovative calf milk replacers in the animal milk replacer industry. There has been an increase in the consumption of animal products, due to population growth and increased living standards of people. The increasing concerns among people over their baby animals has encouraged them to buy milk replacers that has helped to enlarge animal milk replacer market size. This is expected to boost the growth of the animal milk replacer industry during the animal milk replacer market forecast period. 

The shift in pet ownership to parenting has been a very crucial and defining trend in the pet care market, especially in developed countries. One-third of the households in developed countries own a pet, which may include puppies, kitten, small animals and others. Pet owners traditionally fed their pets leftovers and scraps from family meals. However, now there is increasing awareness among pet owners about pet food and functional pet food, such as milk replacers, which are manufactured with the focus to improve health of these animals by offering same nutritional values as mother’s milk. In addition, there has been a rise in adoption of pets owing to various benefits associated with them such as increase in opportunities to exercise and decline in stress. American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) study shows that nine out of ten Americans, who own pets, consider them as a part of their families. According to the 2019 National Pet Owners Survey, conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 69% of households in the U.S. owned a pet. The expenditure on pets in the country increased from 41.2% in 2007 to around 71% in 2019, out of which the money spent on pet food and nutrition occupied over 40% to 45%. Collectively, it shows that increasing pet humanization is expected to increase the demand for functional pet food along with animal milk replacer during the forecast period.

However, traditionally, owners fed their cats, dogs, calf and other pet animals with milk and home-made food, which included leftovers and scraps from family meals. In most developing countries, including India and Indonesia, people are not aware about animal nutrition and supplements, and they do not consider that feeding animal milk replacers is important to take care of their animal’s health. Traditional ways of feeding animals are expected to hinder the growth of the animal milk replacer market size.
