Feed Enzymes Market Report 2026

The feed enzymes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.98 billion in 2025 to $2.13 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in industrial livestock farming, rising feed costs driving efficiency focus, expansion of compound feed production, increasing use of enzyme supplementation, regulatory pressure to reduce feed waste.

The feed enzymes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of precision nutrition strategies, rising demand for sustainable animal feed solutions, expansion of aquaculture production, growing investments in enzyme innovation, increasing focus on reducing environmental impact of livestock farming. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of multi-enzyme feed solutions, rising use of phytase to improve nutrient absorption, growing demand for heat-stable enzyme formulations, expansion of enzyme use in aquafeed, enhanced focus on feed efficiency optimization.

The growing consumption of meat is expected to propel the growth of the feed enzymes market going forward. Meat refers to the flesh of animals consumed as a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals in the human diet. Enzymes are widely used in animal feed to minimize the adverse effects of antinutritional factors present in feed raw materials and to enhance animal performance. This enables producers to obtain higher meat yields per animal at lower costs while supporting improved long-term animal health and productivity. For instance, in August 2024, according to reports shared by Carlisle Technology, a Canada-based software company, per capita turkey consumption in the United States stood at 14.6 pounds in 2022 and is projected to increase to 15.4 pounds by 2033, reflecting a 0.35% rise. Similarly, per capita consumption of broiler chicken was 98.9 pounds in 2022 and is expected to grow to 107.5 pounds by 2033. Therefore, the rising consumption of meat is driving the feed enzymes market.

Major companies operating in the feed enzymes market are adopting advanced technologies, such as enzymatic solutions for corn separation, to maintain their competitive position. Enzymatic corn separation is a biotechnological process that uses specific enzymes to break down corn components, enabling more efficient extraction of starch and other valuable materials during processing. For example, in September 2023, Huvepharma Inc., a Bulgaria-based pharmaceutical company, launched the Enzymatic Digestibility Enhancer Huvezym neXo in the European Union. This product forms part of Huvepharma’s strategy to expand its feed enzyme offerings, which play a critical role in improving the efficiency of animal feed utilization. Huvezym neXo is designed to enhance feed digestibility, thereby supporting better animal health and productivity. By improving nutrient absorption, the product helps livestock producers lower feed costs while achieving improved growth performance and feed conversion ratios.

In January 2023, Novus International Inc., a US-based animal health and nutrition company, acquired Agrivida Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Novus International gained access to Agrivida’s proprietary INTERIUS technology, which embeds feed additives within grain to strengthen its feed enzyme portfolio. Agrivida Inc. is a US-based biotechnology company specializing in the development and commercialization of enzyme solutions for livestock feed.

Major companies operating in the feed enzymes market are BASF SE, Koninklijke DSM N.V., Adisseo France SAS, Associated British Foods plc, Alltech Inc., E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Novozymes A/S, Novus International Inc., Kemin Industries Inc., BioResource International Inc., Rossari Biotech Limited, Bioproton Pty. Ltd., Chr.
