Feed Phosphate Market will grow substantially through 2032 owing to its increasing use for fulfilling the high nutrient requirement in animals across the globe. Feed phosphates are vital in animal diets as they ensure optimal growth, improve gut functionality and fertility, and aid in bone development. Besides, the ingredient is also crucial in maintaining livestock health and overall food security.


Key players operating in the feed phosphate industry are incorporating strategic initiatives such as partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, and new product launches to strengthen their presence in the marketplace. To cite an instance, in August 2021, EuroChem Group AG, a leading global fertilizer company, inked an agreement to acquire the Serra do Salitre phosphate project in Brazil, reinforcing the Group’s production and distribution capabilities in one of the most important crop nutrient markets worldwide.


Overall, the feed phosphate industry is segmented in terms of product, livestock, and region.


Based on the product, the ammonium phosphates segment is anticipated to be valued at over USD 45 million by 2032. Ammonium Phosphate is a salt used prominently in fertilizers. It is rich in elemental nitrogen, which makes it suitable for certain fertilizers used in plants. It is also used in dry chemical fire extinguishers as an important ingredient and a leavening agent in baking, supporting its adoption in the coming years.


By livestock, the swine segment is anticipated to depict noticeable growth through 2032. Phosphorus is a crucial nutrient that plays crucial roles in swine’s diets and helps boost energy metabolism, other crucial metabolic processes, and structural components in bone and cell membranes.


Regionally, the Europe feed phosphate market is anticipated to register sturdy growth during 2023-2032. The regional market growth would come from the increasing consumption of feed phosphates, which is being largely influenced by increasing disease outbreaks. In addition, the region is witnessing growth in pork and poultry businesses, boosting the overall industry expansion in the coming years. As per credible sources, slaughterhouses across Germany produced more than 4.5 million tons of pork in 2022.


Besides, the policies imposed by the EU encourage pastoralists to make use of healthy and nutrient-rich food additives and stabilize the effect of their production on the environment, thereby stimulating the expansion of the feed phosphates market in Europe through 2032.
