South America Feed Anti-Caking Agent Market - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)

The South America Feed Anti-caking Agent Market is projected to register a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period 2020-2025. South America is an emerging market with huge potential and strong growth rates. The increasing demand for high-quality meat from the meat processing industry is expected to exert pressure on farmers and meat manufacturers to use high-quality feed, thereby increasing demand for feed anti-caking agents. The expansion of the animal feed market is driving the growth of the market studied. Moreover, the rising need for a high-quality feed and an increase in the number of feed additives, especially in the compound feed industry, are the major growth drivers of the market studied.

Key Market Trends

Expansion of Compound Feed Industry

According to the AllTech feed survey in the year 2019, Brazil which is one of the largest feed producers accounts for more than 60% of the market share in the region. The Brazil market for feed is driven by the rise of meat consumption and exports in the country and the growing awareness regarding meat quality. The industrialization of meat production is also fueling the demand for animal feed anti-caking agents in the country. These factors are driving the market for anti-caking agents. The market is expected to grow with increasing investments from domestic and foreign players. The entry of key foreign players has given a boost to the market. But the rising costs of raw materials are hindering the growth of the market in the region. As the livestock industry registered a low growth rate, there is an increasing need for animal feed. This is expected to drive the demand for feed additives, particularly feed anti-caking agents. Moreover, silicates are widely used as anti-caking agents, as silicates can absorb, both, water and oil. Sodium and calcium products, such as sodium ferrocyanide and tricalcium phosphate are witnessing high demand, as they reduce individual adhesion of feed.

Increased Meat Consumption Among Consumer

The increased consumption of livestock products like Milk, Egg, and Meat has led to increased production of livestock which has led to increased demand of quality compound feed. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-ordination and Development (OECD), the per capita poultry meat consumption in Brazil was 39.81 kg, swine consumption was 12.33 kg and beef consumption was 24.47 kg in the year 2018. Poultry meat is the most consumed by humans with higher per capita consumption in the region. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the poultry population in 2016 was 2521754 thousand heads and increased to 2684758 thousand heads in the year 2018 whereas the ruminants population was 85703185 heads in 2016 and increased to 87284331 heads in 2018 in South America. Poultry market is growing by 10% each year and is focused on exporting as the cost of chicken meat produced in Argentina is one of the cheapest in the world. Hence all these factors together contribute towards the growth of the industry in the region studied during the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape

The feed anti-caking agent market is highly fragmented, with the presence of various small and medium-sized companies and a few major players. Thus, there is high competition in the market studied. Furthermore, in the market studied, companies are not only competing on the basis of the quality of equipment and promotion but also are focusing on strategic moves, in order to account for the largest market share.
