Report overview

Scope note

Segments covered: type, animal type, source, form. Regions: Asia-Pacific, Europe.

The growth of this market is driven by the consistent growth in the compound feed sector, rising demand for meat and dairy products, and increasing disease outbreaks in livestock. In addition, factors such as the growing industrialization of the livestock sector and increasing utilization of feed additives in developing countries provide a significant opportunity for manufacturers in the global feed additives market. However, the ban on the use of antibiotics in animal feed hinders the growth of the feed additives market.

Increasing Disease Outbreaks in Livestock Boosting the Utilization of Feed Additives

Animal health and food safety have become major challenges for the livestock sector due to the increasing complexity of supply chains attributed to globalization and trade liberalization. At the same time, there is an increasing risk of livestock diseases affecting humans, especially due to their pandemic potential, which was recently highlighted by the outbreak of a new strain of influenza, A (H1N1), containing genetic material from humans, swine, and poultry viruses. Furthermore, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified processed meat as a carcinogen (something that causes cancer) and red meat as a probable carcinogen (something that probably causes cancer).

Moreover, various disease outbreaks in livestock animals (swine flu and foot and mouth disease) during the last decade have raised concerns over meat quality and safety. Additionally, countries such as South Korea and Slovakia banned pork imports from Germany due to the health risks involved. Furthermore, according to the FAO, global pig meat output in 2020 was 109.2 million tonnes, down by 0.8% from 2019, due to the impact of African Swine Fever (ASF) on swine herds in several major pork-producing countries such as China, the Philippines and Vietnam. The impact of these diseases on animals is significant and may lead to direct economic losses due to high morbidity and mortality. These instances have accelerated the usage of feed additives, which help ensure optimal health in animals and the quality of animal-derived products as per the highest standards. During a disease outbreak, animals may become more susceptible to illness due to weakened immune systems, stress, or other factors.

Furthermore, making certain feed additives a part of animal diets can help boost their immune function, support digestive health, and improve their overall well-being. Enhancing animal feed with various nutrients can thus help prevent the occurrence of diseases. For instance, Pipestone Applied Research Institute found that the spread of viral diseases in pigs can be stopped using commercially available feed additives. Some feed additives, such as antibiotics that are added to feed to prevent bacterial infections are specifically designed to prevent or mitigate the effects of certain diseases. Additionally, probiotics, prebiotics, and other additives can help promote gut health, strengthen animals' immune function, and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Thus, increasing disease outbreaks in livestock animals are boosting the need for feed enhanced with feed additives to ensure good health and the quality and safety of animal-derived products, driving the demand for feed additives among feed manufacturers.
