The surge in demand for organic meat is a key driver behind the growth of amino acids and proteins in the animal nutrition market. Meat, which encompasses the flesh of animals consumed as food and contains various proteins such as myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins, is in high demand globally. The increasing preference for organic meat, fueled by a growing world population, emphasizes the need to provide animals with nutritionally rich diets containing amino acids and proteins. This enhances muscle development and weight in animals, contributing to the delivery of high-quality organic meat. An illustration of this trend is evident in the report published by the Forschungsinstitut für biologischen Landbau (FiBL) in February 2023. The report highlights a significant increase in organic meat imports in the EU, such as bovine meat, which rose from 275 metric tons in 2020 to 1062 metric tons in 2021, organic sheep and goat meat increasing from 18 metric tons in 2020 to 92 metric tons in 2021, and organic pig meat going from none in 2020 to 83 metric tons in 2021. Consequently, the rising demand for organic meat is a driving force for the growth of amino acids and proteins in the animal nutrition market.

Anticipated growth in animal feed production is poised to drive the expansion of amino acids and proteins in the animal nutrition market. Animal feed production involves creating nutritionally balanced diets for animals, including livestock, poultry, and fish, to support their growth, health, and productivity. Amino acids and proteins are integral components of animal feed, providing essential building blocks for muscle and tissue growth, as well as supporting vital functions in animals. An example of this growth is highlighted in the 11th annual Alltech feed survey conducted by Alltech in January 2022. The survey indicates a global increase in feed production to 1.235 billion tons, up from 1.187 billion tons in 2020, representing a 2.3% growth in 2021 compared to 2020. This increase underscores the importance of amino acids and proteins in animal nutrition as part of the larger animal feed production process. Therefore, the upsurge in animal feed production is a significant factor propelling the growth of amino acids and proteins in the animal nutrition market.

A key trend gaining prominence in the amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market is product innovation. Major companies operating in this sector are actively focusing on the development of new technological and innovative solutions to enhance their market positions. A notable example is METEX NØØVISTAGO, a France-based producer of amino acid-based solutions for farm animals, which launched the INNEUS range of animal nutrition solutions in May 2022. Specifically designed for piglets and poultry and based on amino acids, the INNEUS range aims to influence intestinal health, addressing physiological and sanitary challenges such as weaning for piglets or coccidiosis for chickens. The product targets key aspects of gut health, including gut barrier function, immunological fitness, oxidative state homeostasis, and microbial balance.

Major players in the amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market are also focused on introducing advanced solutions, such as new sources of lysine for livestock feeds, to gain a competitive edge. Lysine, an essential amino acid for livestock, plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, optimizing animal growth, increasing milk production, and strengthening animals' immunity. For instance, in May 2023, Evonik Industries AG, a Germany-based specialty chemicals company, launched an updated Biolys with a higher concentration of the amino acid L-lysine. The new formulation contains 62.4% L-lysine, compared to the present version with 60% L-lysine. The fermentation process of the product yields additional nutrients and energy beneficial to livestock such as pigs and poultry. This aligns with Evonik's commitment to using minimal natural resources to meet the increasing demand for premium animal protein in human nutrition.

In a strategic move in January 2023, Novus International Inc., a US-based animal health and nutrition company, acquired Agrivida Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition provides Novus International Inc. with ownership of the INTERIUS technology, focused on developing embedded feed additives inside the grain. This strategic acquisition enhances Novus International Inc.'s capabilities in providing innovative solutions to optimize efficiency and address food production challenges in a sustainable manner. Agrivida Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, specializes in creating and commercializing a new generation of nutrition and enzyme solutions for livestock feeding.
