Demographic expansion and technological advancements have meant changes in the traditional roles of livestock and have led to accelerated consumption of livestock and related products. According to the Alltech feed survey, in the year 2019, the country’s commercial feed production stood at 20.2 million metric tons. Poultry is the largest contributor to domestic feed production garnering around 11.4 million metric tons in the same year. Charoen Pokphand Food PCL, Cargill, Incorporated, Altech Inc. and Archer Daniels Midland are some of the major companies in the studied market.

Key Market Trends

Growing Inclination Towards Animal Sourced Products

The per capita consumption of red meat and poultry products around the world has increased rapidly, as it is actively considered as an important source of nutrition/protein by the consumers under different demographics, thus, resulting in increased production of meat products. According to a survey conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in 2019 per capita, pork meat consumption was 10 Kg which was 10.1Kg in 2016. Also, in 2019 per capita, poultry meat consumption was 8 Kg.? In response to globalization and the rising demand for animal-sourced foods, the global livestock sector attained a strong growth in the past couple of years. In January 2020, the Thailand government has allocated a budget of USD 5.03 million under the Free Trade Agreement Fund for the Department of Livestock Development to help the beef cattle farmers increase their product quality and compete globally. This is boosting the growth of compound feed to the production of quality products.

Industrialization of Livestock Sector

Growing meat consumption has led to the commercial production of livestock in the country. According to FAO, in 2016 cattle and buffaloes population was 5.66 million heads which increased to 5.91 million heads in 2018. The rising demand for animal products and commercial animal production has created an opportunity for feed manufacturers to enhance animal productivity. Thailand government has sanctioned a loan of USD 1.61 million to the Dairy Farming Promotion Organization of Thailand (DPO) from the agricultural products’ restructuring fund in 2019 to establish the Thai-Denmark Smart Dairy Farm and increase production capacity to compete with other countries. This, in turn, has paved a significant opportunity for the manufacturers to use compound feed, to optimize their livestock production sustainably and meet the burgeoning demand from both the meat and dairy industries. ?

Competitive Landscape

Some of the players have been expanding their geographical presence by acquiring or merging with the manufacturers in the foreign market. The leading companies focused on the expansion of the business across regions and setting up a new plant for increasing production capacity as well as a product line. The companies are also increasing production capacities of their existing plants. Charoen Pokphand Food PCL, Cargill, Incorporated, Altech Inc. and Archer Daniels Midland are some of the major companies in the studied market.
