Animal Feed Micronutrients Market Expected to Reach $3.3 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Animal Feed Micronutrients Market ," The animal feed micronutrients market size was valued at $1.7 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $3.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7% from 2022 to 2031.

The nutrients needed in trace amounts by an organism are called as micronutrients. Micronutrient is also important in animal feed. They are commonly used to increase feed consistency and to boost overall animal health. Dairy and poultry products are in higher demand as a result of the population's rapid growth. People are becoming more aware regarding the moral production of animal products, which has ultimately increased demand for high-quality animal feed nutrients.

Like humans, livestock animals also need a balanced diet containing all the necessary nutrients, fluids, minerals, and vitamins. As a result, more livestock producers and farmers are including micronutrients in animal feed as an essential component of the animal feeding program is a major factor estimated to boost the animal feed micronutrients market demand in the upcoming years.   

However, the market is likely to be constrained by the farmers' lack of knowledge regarding presence of animal feed micronutrient products in the market and the advantages related to them. This factor is anticipated restrain the animal feed micronutrients market trends.

It is anticipated that rising meat consumption in developing nations like China, India, and Brazil will drive product demand worldwide. Australia, a significant exporter of pork, is anticipated to drive product demand during the projection period. Increasing utilization of dairy product is anticipated to be driven by an increase in the use of dairy products such cheese, butter, cream, and curd in the food and beverage industry.

Furthermore, the expansion of the animal husbandry sector in emerging economies is assisting the market growth. Market expansion is also supported by government initiatives that support the livestock industry and advance animal health in response to rising concerns regarding food security. These factors are anticipated to boost the animal feed micronutrients market growth in the upcoming years.

The global animal feed micronutrients market share is segmented based on product, livestock, and region. By product, it is classified into trace mineral, vitamins, and others. By livestock, it is classified into poultry, ruminant, aquaculture, swine, and equine. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. 

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Animal Feed Micronutrients Industry

• Agriculture and food production are now acknowledged as important worldwide sectors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to feed a rising number of consumers worldwide, farmers have continued to make efforts to provide farm animals with high-quality food.
