Feed Organic Acids Market Report 2025

The feed organic acids market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.62 billion in 2024 to $12.43 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for meat and dairy products, heightened awareness of animal health, bans on antibiotic growth promoters, expansion of livestock farming, enhancements in feed efficiency, and growth in compound feed production.

The feed organic acids market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be attributed to an increasing focus on antibiotic-free animal production, rising demand for high-quality meat and dairy products, expansion of commercial livestock farming, growing awareness of animal gut health, and supportive government regulations on feed additives. Key trends during this period include advancements in green chemistry, integration of bio-refinery technologies, blockchain for traceability, digital twin technology, and next-generation enzyme engineering innovations.

The increasing meat consumption is expected to drive the growth of the feed organic acids market in the coming years. Meat consumption refers to the quantity of meat and poultry consumed by individuals or populations over a given time frame. This rise is fueled by growing global incomes, enabling more people to afford protein-rich diets. Feed organic acids are utilized in meat production to improve animal gut health, enhance nutrient absorption, and boost growth performance, resulting in higher-quality meat. For example, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government agency, Australians increased their meat and poultry consumption by 2.3% in 2023-24 compared to the previous financial year, averaging 145 grams per person per day. Thus, the rising meat consumption is propelling the feed organic acids market growth.

Key players in the feed organic acids market are developing innovative products such as pathogen-targeted acid blends aimed at inhibiting harmful microbes in the gut, reducing disease outbreaks, and promoting healthier livestock growth without the use of antibiotics. Pathogen-targeted acid blends are formulated acids designed to combat harmful pathogens and support animal gut health. For instance, in March 2025, Kemin Industries, a US-based biotechnology firm, launched PROSIDIUM, a novel feed pathogen control solution. This product, based on peroxy acids and developed over several years, helps feed producers combat pathogens such as Salmonella and certain viruses, thereby enhancing feed and food safety worldwide. PROSIDIUM provides a unique antimicrobial approach combining the benefits of organic acids and formaldehyde-based treatments, offering both immediate and lasting protection.

In February 2023, Adisseo, a France-based animal nutrition company, acquired Nor-Feed for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to expand Adisseo’s feed additive portfolio and strengthen its expertise in animal nutrition solutions. Nor-Feed, also based in France, specializes in manufacturing plant-based feed additives for animal nutrition.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The accelerated imposition of U.S. tariffs and the emerging trade conflicts in spring 2025 are significantly influencing the agriculture sector by increasing input costs for seeds, fertilizers, and machinery parts sourced from abroad. Tariffs on imported agrochemicals and farm equipment have raised production expenses for growers, while retaliatory measures from key trading partners have reduced export opportunities for U.S. crops such as corn, wheat, and dairy products. As a result, many farmers are experiencing shrinking profit margins and heightened financial stress. In response, agricultural producers are diversifying crop portfolios, adopting precision farming technologies to reduce input waste, and advocating for government subsidies and market access relief.

Feed organic acids are naturally occurring or synthetic acids added to animal feed to enhance gut health and nutrient absorption. They work by lowering the pH in the digestive tract, thereby creating an environment that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. These acids include formic, acetic, propionic, and lactic acids.

The primary types of feed organic acids include acetic acid, formic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, propionic acid, gluconic acid, and others. Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH), is a commonly used organic acid in animal feed, valued for its ability to regulate pH levels, maintain feed quality, and suppress harmful bacteria and mold growth. It has diverse applications across the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and animal feed. It is widely used by various end users, including feed manufacturers, livestock farmers, aquaculture operations, veterinary clinics, and research institutions.
