Market Trends of South America Swine Feed Premix Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the South America Swine Feed Premix Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Swine Production Drives the Market
Pork is one of the most popular meats consumed in South American countries. The increased consumption and export demand caused a boom in the South American swine production industry. According to FAO, the region produced 65.1 million heads of pigs in 2016 increasing to 67.1 million in 2018. Brazil and Argentina are the leading producers of pigs on the continent. Therefore increasing swine production along with the large consumption demand is anticipated to fuel the swine feed premix market further.
Brazil Dominates the Market
Brazil is the third-largest producer of Swine in the world and the largest in South America. According to FAO, the country produced 41.4 million heads of pigs in 2018, which is 1.35 million more than the pigs in 2016. The recent swine fever and flu outbreak caused a significant loss of pigs in China fulling pig farming in Brazil as Brazil is one of the major suppliers of pork meat. Thereby, the rise in domestic consumption of pork meat along with the increased export demand has been acting as a prime driver of the market studied.
