Market Trends of feed minerals Industry
High demand for animal protein and poultry products such as eggs with increasing investment in poultry sector is increasing poultry population
- The poultry population has significantly increased in recent years due to the growing demand for chicken meat and eggs in daily diets. The growing shift toward poultry products has been driven by the increasing prices of other meat, such as pig meat, in the United States. For instance, the consumption of eggs in Europe increased by 4.6% between 2017 and 2021, accounting for 6,135 metric ton in 2021.
- Asia-Pacific is the largest producer of poultry birds, with production increasing by 6.6% in 2022 compared to 2017. The rise in poultry production is due to the growing demand for animal protein following the outbreak of African Swine Fever, which reduced the pork meat supply. China, which accounts for 40% of global production, has more than 900 million stock-laying hens, and the country's largest layer poultry farming center can hatch 60 million chicks annually.
- The Middle Eastern region is also expected to witness growth in poultry production in the forecast period (2023-2029). Companies such as Almarai in Saudi Arabia have invested heavily in the sector, with USD 1.12 billion spent on establishing new farms to expand production.
- The increasing demand for poultry products, coupled with rising investments in the poultry sector, is expected to result in increased feed production. This, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for feed additives in the global market during the forecast period. The global poultry industry is poised for significant growth over the coming years, driven by the shift toward poultry products and increasing investments in the industry.

The growing demand for seafood consumption in Asia-Pacific and South America, and government initiatives is increasing the feed production for aquaculture species
- The demand for feed is rapidly increasing due to the expansion of aquaculture, which is driving the growth of compound feed production. In 2022, compound feed production increased by 13.1% from the previous year, and fish feed production increased by 46.3% between 2017 and 2022. The rise in consumption of fish feed is driven by the need to maintain and improve the performance of aquatic animals and increase productivity to meet the growing demand for seafood.
- Fish feed accounted for 73.2% of the global market in 2022, as fish is highly consumed and produced in the Asia-Pacific region. It is followed in global popularity by shrimp and other aquatic species, with shrimp being highly imported by European countries and the United States from other regions. Countries are focusing on expanding aquaculture production to meet the growing demand for seafood. For instance, India increased its budget allocation for the Department of Fisheries from USD 114.1 million in 2020 to USD 168.8 million in 2021 to increase production, which is expected to boost the demand for feed during the forecast period.
- South America is also experiencing an increase in feed production, which rose by 46.4% in 2022 from 2017 to reach 5.1 million metric ton due to the expansion of aquaculture farming. The region is one of the major seafood-consuming regions, and the increasing demand for seafood is driving the growth of aquaculture production.
- As aquaculture continues to expand to meet the growing demand, the development of the industry and a focus on its expansion are expected to fuel the growth of feed production. This increase in feed production for aquatic species is expected to aid in the growth of the aquatic segment during the forecast period.
