Porcine Plasma Feed Global Market Report 2024

The porcine plasma feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.19 billion in 2023 to $1.25 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to increased consumer spending on pet food, a ban on the use of antibiotics in many countries, and increased investments in the porcine plasma feed industry.

The porcine plasma feed market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing consumption of meat, the rising adoption of sustainable methods in the feed industry, and overall growth across the global food sector. Key trends expected in the forecast period include a focus on product launches, new nutritional solutions, feed additives, strategic partnerships and collaborations, and technological advancements in the porcine plasma feed industry.

The prominent driver behind the growth of the porcine plasma feed market is the substantial increase in consumer spending on pet food. Over the past few years, the pet food industry has witnessed significant growth due to rising concerns about food and feed adulteration. Pet foods enriched with essential amino acids play a crucial role in the development and well-being of pets, offering vital nutrients. The incorporation of plasma feed additives into pets' diets contributes to enhanced digestive systems, improved immune systems, and better metabolism. Notably, consumer spending on pet-related products and services in Spain reached EUR 19.7 billion ($20.02 billion) in 2021. Additionally, statistics from September 2021 reveal that 11% of Americans spend an equivalent amount on their pet food as on home food, with 6% spending more on pet food than household food. This surge in consumer spending on pet food is anticipated to drive the demand for porcine plasma feed in the forecast period.

The growing adoption of sustainable practices is poised to have a positive impact on the porcine plasma feed market's growth. Achieving sustainability in animal nutrition involves optimizing feed resources, improving feed conversion, utilizing alternative ingredients, reducing environmental impact, and minimizing antibiotic use. In July 2022, Tebrio, a Spain-based biotechnology company, collaborated with key players in the swine industry to introduce a sustainable alternative for controlling piglet mortality without using zinc oxide, thereby enhancing sector efficiency and sustainability. This growing adoption of sustainable practices is expected to contribute to the expansion of the porcine plasma feed market.

A notable trend in the porcine plasma feed market is the emphasis on technological innovation. The market is witnessing advancements such as spray-dried porcine plasma, a by-product from abattoirs used in animal nutrition, particularly in livestock. Spray-dried porcine plasma offers highly digestible protein with an ideal amino acid profile, making it a valuable ingredient in post-weaning diets to enhance growth and well-being. Major companies are leveraging technological innovation to introduce products with advanced features, such as Diamond V, a US-based manufacturer of natural immune-support postbiotic feed additives. In February 2021, Diamond V introduced Dia-V, an immune health piglet feed additive used in nursery pig diets. This innovative product is designed to maintain immune strength, digestive tissue integrity, and a healthy microbial balance in piglets.

Companies in the porcine plasma feed market are actively launching new products. In 2023, Purina Animal Nutrition, a US-based company specializing in feeds for various animals, introduced Purina EnduraSow and EnduraPig, novel feed additives aimed at enhancing sow performance and piglet respiratory health. These innovative feed additives have demonstrated positive outcomes, such as increased pigs weaned per sow per year during health challenges. Additionally, companies are engaging in strategic acquisitions to strengthen their position.
