Key Market Trends

Increasing Demand for High Value Animal Protein

The rising demand for high-value meat and dairy protein from health-conscious consumers is driving the feed premix industry. Livestock production is one of the fastest growing segments in the agriculture industry. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation, the demand for poultry meat in South Asia is projected to increase by 725 percent to 2030, with India contributing to an expected 850 percent increase in demand. India also has the largest cattle inventory in the world, followed by Brazil and China. As per the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook published in 2018, worldwide meat production has increased from 317.1 million metric tons in 2016 to 330.5 million metric tons in 2018. Moreover, the surging demand for environmentally safe and chemical-residue-free meat, meat products, milk & milk products, is emphasizing the need for increased productivity through feed premixes.

Growth in Asia-Pacific Projected to be Robust

There has been consistent growth in the animal husbandry industry in the Asia-Pacific region. Countries in the region are increasingly moving towards a systematic and industrialized production of livestock. Average herd sizes are increasing and so also the productivity of animals. However, the farmers in the region are also dependent on home-grown feed, especially for ruminants and swine. With an increase in awareness about providing optimum nutrition to animals for increasing productivity as well as animal health, premixes are increasingly finding their way into these traditional markets. The region is also characterized by the typical usage of both compound feed and home-grown feed for smaller herd-size farms. This phenomenon is expected to continue well into the forecast period and the region is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing geographical segment of the Global Feed Premix Market over the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape

The market for feed premix is concentrated with the dominance of a few international players accounting for a major share in the global market. Some of the major players are Cargill Incorporated, Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab A.M.B.A. (DLG), BASF SE, Land O’Lakes, Inc., Godrej Agrovet, Koninklijke DSM N.V., and others. These companies are targeting countries in the developing countries for business expansion, either by investing in a new production unit or acquiring established small players in the region. For instance, Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM) has acquired Neovia in 2019, to expand the global reach and its diverse range of product portfolio in animal nutrition and feed premixes. Land O’Lakes Inc. has entered into a partnership with the Netherlands-based Royal Agrifirm Group, for setting up a dairy animal feed joint venture in China. This partnership will enable the unified company "Agrilakes" to capture the untapped dairy feed market in China including feed premixes.
