Asia Pacific Animal Feed Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029

The Asia Pacific animal feed market is evaluated at US$155.521 billion for the year 2022 growing at a CAGR of 6.16% reaching the market size of US$236.309 billion by the year 2029.

Rapid urbanization and rising disposable income in the region are expected to be the prime drivers behind this growth during the forecast period. In countries like India, the livestock population especially cattle, are associated with the rising human population, changing technology and growing meat industry in the region in the coming years. In addition, rising consumer health awareness is further expected to widen up growth opportunities for vendors and manufacturers in the region. According to a study by the FAO, it has been predicted that livestock production in the APAC region is expected to rise by 14% between 2021 and 2030. The development and growth of livestock production across the region are expected to lead to significant demand for highly nutritious animal feed products. The rise in the industrial production of beef, pork, mutton, and poultry overgrazing and mixed farming is projected to boost the demand for high-grade animal feed products in the Asia Pacific. 

Market Drivers

Growing focus on animal health and increase in the demand for organic meat to propel market growth.

Increased cattle farming is projected to drive demand for animal feed, due to the burgeoning demand for animal-based products by humans. Natural growth supporters are thus forecasted to be active in the market as their momentum grows further. Growing consumer awareness regarding the benefits of using feed additives to mitigate or even prevent harmful diseases has resulted in a shift from using standard animal feed to adopting functional and premium variants that would help improve enzootic disease immunity while also reducing the risk of metabolic disorders, injuries, acidosis, and infections. Furthermore, a rise in the demand for organic meat from consumers across various countries in the region, as well as the undertaking of new animal-rearing practices and the maintenance of high farming standards, has projected a positive outlook for the market in the region.
