Mexico Animal Feed Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029

The Mexico animal feed market is evaluated at US$13.47 billion for the year 2022 growing at a CAGR of 6.19% reaching the market size of US$20.511 billion by the year 2029.

Furthermore, feed consumption of wheat is expected to continue to decline, owing to the relatively higher cost of wheat than alternatives such as corn.

Market Drivers

Growing livestock production & meat consumption drive the market growth

Chicken meat and egg consumption are also increasing, due to being affordable in an increasingly price-sensitive market. Also, these sources of protein are increasingly being considered viable and healthy alternatives to beef and pork.

Additionally, the domestic pork industry also continues to grow owing to the consumer preference for more affordable animal proteins. Therefore, with such aforementioned factors that are conducive to Mexico’s animal feed market expansion, it will this market is expected to witness healthy growth during the forecast period.
