The growing demand for animal feed is expected to drive the expansion of the feed taste enhancers market in the coming years. Animal feed includes food given to domestic or farm animals, such as grains, corn, soybeans, hay, and forage. Feed taste enhancers improve the palatability of feed, making it more appealing to livestock while supporting animal health. For example, in March 2024, according to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, a UK-based levy board funded by farmers and growers, total animal feed production in Great Britain for the current season-to-date (July to January), including integrated poultry units (IPU), reached 7.81 million tonnes (Mt), up 1.3% from 7.71 Mt in the same period the previous year. Therefore, the rising demand for animal feed is significantly supporting the growth of the feed taste enhancers market.

Key companies in the feed taste enhancers market are focusing on advanced technologies such as flavor enhancement solutions. Flavor enhancement technology involves adding compounds to feed to improve or amplify its natural taste. For instance, in June 2023, T. HASEGAWA, a Japan-based chemical company, launched HASEAROM and ChefAroma flavor enhancement technologies in North America. HASEAROM features patented processes that deliver authentic sweet and savory sensations, replicating the ‘first bite’ experience of a new meal with nuanced flavor. ChefAroma offers rich, complex flavors inspired by culinary recipes, producing chef-quality taste in less time. These proprietary technologies provide greater specificity and authenticity compared to conventional compounded flavors.
