The feed additives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.84 billion in 2025 to $20.15 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising global demand for animal protein, increasing livestock population, introduction of fortified feed products, growth of intensive farming practices, advancements in feed formulation technologies.
The feed additives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising focus on gut health and immunity in animals, increasing investment in sustainable feed solutions, expansion of aquaculture industry, innovations in enzyme and probiotic feed additives, adoption of precision nutrition and feed optimization technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of probiotics and prebiotics in feed, rising use of natural feed additives over synthetic alternatives, increasing demand for livestock performance optimization, expansion of aquaculture and specialty livestock feed, development of multi-functional feed additives combining health and nutrition benefits.
The anticipated increase in feed production is expected to drive the growth of the feed additives market in the coming years. In the context of agriculture and animal husbandry, 'feed' refers to the food supplied to domesticated animals, particularly cattle, which is specifically formulated to meet the nutritional needs of various animals, thereby supporting their health, growth, and overall well-being. Feed additives are substances incorporated into animal feed to enhance its quality and nutritional value, as well as to improve the health and performance of the animals that consume it. For example, in March 2024, data from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, a UK-based levy board supported by farmers and growers, indicated that 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). This marks a 1.3% increase compared to the same period last year, when production was 7.71 Mt. Thus, the rising growth in feed production is fueling the demand for feed additives.
Leading companies in the feed additives market are concentrating on developing innovative products, including plant-based feed additives aimed at enhancing animal health, improving feed efficiency, and fostering sustainable farming practices. These plant-based feed additives can elevate the overall quality of animal products, such as meat and dairy, by boosting flavor and nutritional content. For example, in February 2023, Evonik, a Germany-based chemicals firm, introduced the PhytriCare IM feed additive. This product is formulated with carefully selected plant extracts rich in flavonoids, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. PhytriCare IM is specifically designed to mitigate excessive inflammatory responses in sows, laying hens, and dairy cows, and is widely available throughout the EU.
In April 2024, Phibro Animal Health Corporation, a US-based provider of animal health and nutrition solutions, including medicated feed additives, mineral nutrition products, and other specialty animal nutrition ingredients, acquired Zoetis Inc.’s medicated feed additive product portfolio along with certain water-soluble products for $350 million. Through this acquisition, Phibro expanded its feed additives portfolio, extended its global species coverage, and reinforced its position in the animal nutrition market by integrating a high-volume, commercially established set of products and associated manufacturing capabilities. Zoetis Inc. is a US-based provider of animal health products, including vaccines, parasiticides, and therapeutic and medicated feed additives for livestock and companion animals worldwide.

Feed additives are products in animal nutrition designed to enhance the quality of animal food, as well as improve animal performance and health. They encompass a variety of chemicals, substances, or organisms aimed at increasing nutritional intake, absorption, and assimilation.
The primary types of feed additives include amino acids, phosphates, vitamins, acidifiers, carotenoids, enzymes, mycotoxin detoxifiers, flavors and sweeteners, antibiotics, and others. Amino acids are fundamental molecules that combine to form proteins. These additives are utilized in various livestock, such as poultry, ruminants, swine, aquatic animals, and others, and are available in both liquid and dry forms, derived from synthetic and natural sources.
The feed additives market consists of sales of sensory feed additives, nutritional feed additives, zootechnical feed additives, and coccidiostats and histomonostats feed additives. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
