Africa Compound Feed Market Size Summary

The African compound feed market is poised for significant growth over the forecast period, driven by increasing meat consumption and urbanization. South Africa stands out as a dominant player in the market, largely due to its rising demand for meat and animal products. The availability of raw materials, particularly maize, supports the feed industry, while the rapid urbanization and globalization trends contribute to higher disposable incomes and a shift towards protein-rich diets. This shift is particularly evident in the growing consumption of poultry meat, which is favored for its affordability compared to other meats. The intensive livestock production systems, bolstered by abundant labor and limited land, further propel the demand for compound feed, ensuring a steady expansion of the market.

The South African compound feed industry is characterized by its diverse categories, including pig, broiler, beef and sheep, dairy, and layers, with local production of soybeans and oil enhancing the availability of economical raw materials. Despite a slight decrease in feed tonnage across some African countries, South Africa has experienced an increase in feed production, supported by rising middle-class spending and a recovering tourism sector. The market is highly concentrated, with major companies like Cargill Inc., Nutreco NV, and Alltech Inc. leading the charge. These companies are actively expanding their geographical presence and production capacities through acquisitions and partnerships, such as Nutreco's collaboration with Unga Group Plc, to meet the growing demand for high-quality protein in the region.
