Growing consumer shift for organic meat is expected to be a key challenge for the market over the next few years. The increase in global energy costs is fast becoming a major factor in feed production, impacting upon the costs of feed ingredients and manufacturing as well as delivery.

Based on Type, polyester segment accounted for the largest share of the Animal Feed Additives Market 

The growing demand for meat, especially in developing regions, is expected to be a key driving factor for the growth of the amino acids market in the near future. Lysine, a major amino acid consumed worldwide as a feed additive, is essential for the growth of animals, especially swine and Farms. 

Based on End use, Veterinarians segment holds largest revenue share for Animal Feed Additives Market 

Veterinary Services assumes a significant job in perception, early recognition and treatment of infections in creatures so as to limit foodborne pathogens from entering the natural way of life. Developed countries such as in the United States, more than 66% of veterinarians work in private or corporate clinical work on, giving veterinary consideration to a changed scope of animal types.  This would, in turn, establish healthy platform for the growth of this market segment

Drivers: Growing meat consumption around the globe will support the industry growth

Growing meat consumption around the world has been a major driver for animal feed additive demand. In addition, growing awareness regarding the benefits of feed additives coupled with recent outbreak of diseases has prompted increased consumption of additives in animal feed

Growing life expectancy, scarce availability of land and water resources for animal feed production and growing grain demand for food and ethanol production has resulted in the meat industry looking to optimize feed utilization. In addition, due to recent epidemic outbreaks, the quality of food has become an important issue in countries worldwide, especially in North America and Europe. The awareness among consumers preferring extrinsic quality attributes of meat has increased, affecting the meat market globally

Challenges: Strict regulations towards animal welfare and consumer safety

Due to the development of strict regulations towards animal welfare and consumer safety, the use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) has been banned in countries within the European Union since 2006 and in the U.S. since 2009. On the other hand, countries like Brazil and China do not yet have this ban completely enforced against the use of antibiotics as feed additives. Such disparities in regulations have an adverse effect on global meat trade, especially between developed and developing economies.

Global Animal Feed Additives Market Restraints

Government regulations and policies regarding use of antibiotics in animal feed is the major restraining factor which is expected to hinder the growth of global animal feed additives market growth. Also, volatile raw material prices as well as increase in veganism will affect the growth of global animal feed additives market growth. Also ban on antibiotics in Europe and in the U.S. is expected to open up the market for replacement products such as enzymes, acidifiers and amino acids. Moreover, overlapping demand for major grains such as wheat, maize and barley from other commercial applications of food and biofuel is also expected to hamper market growth over the forecast period
