Animal Feed Organic Trace Minerals Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Zinc, Iron, Copper, Selenium), By Application (Dairy Cattle, Poultry, Horses, Pigs), And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2025

Industry Insights

The global animal feed organic trace minerals market size was estimated at USD 536.5 million in 2018 and anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 8.4% over the forecast period. Rising demand from end-users owing to rising awareness regarding the harmful effects of consuming inorganic trace minerals containing heavy metal contaminants, is anticipated to drive the growth. Organic trace minerals are essential nutrients used in tiny quantities in animal feed.

Moreover, rising use of water-soluble natural feed-added substances, increasing meat consumption, and developing animal feed industry across the globe are factors encouraging the consumption of organic trace minerals. For instance, a shift in food consumption pattern, which comprise favoring proteins from animal sources, is playing a major role in the growth of meat consumption sector globally.

However, increasing outbreak of animal diseases such as Avian Influenza (AI) is estimated to hamper overall growth in near future. Poultry is one of the most vulnerable sectors to disease outbreaks. For instance, in 2015, over 48 million poultry birds, such as turkey and chicken, were hit by the AI outbreaks in U.S.

In addition, minimizing the after effects of such outbreaks is a major challenge faced by manufacturers and governing bodies worldwide. Increasing R&D activities to maximize specific functions of organic trace minerals are creating new opportunities for industrial development. For instance, using zinc to strengthen egg shells in poultry and copper for improving fertility of eggs.

Product Insights

On the basis of product, the animal feed organic trace minerals market is classified into zinc, copper, iron, and others. Other minerals comprise manganese and cobalt. Zinc accounted for the largest market share over 32% in 2018 and is estimated to continue leading during the forecast period. Rising demand for animal feed as it enhances the immunity and metabolism of animals, is projected to fuel the growth.

Iron is the second largest product segment estimated to expand at above average CAGR in the years to come. Rising awareness regarding side effects caused due to iron deficiency is estimated to boost its demand. Iron deficiency results in imbalance in tissue metabolism and can also lead to anemia.

Moreover, copper is estimated to register the fastest CAGR over the projected period owing to rising awareness regarding its importance in strengthening animal bones. In 2018, Europe witnessed the highest demand for copper owing to the presence of developed poultry and swine industries in the region.

Application Insights

On the basis of application, the market is divided into dairy cattle, poultry, horses, and pigs. Poultry sector accounted for over 40% of the total market share and is estimated to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Rising demand for animal protein sources, technological developments, and better vaccinations to animals are anticipated to drive the segment growth.

Pork is considered as a rich source of protein and is the second-highest consumed meat across the globe. Rising demand for high quality pork and growth in consumption of pork is anticipated to propel the segment expansion over the forecast period. Dairy cattle sector is estimated to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for several milk products such as butter, yogurt, ice cream, and cheese.

North America is estimated to be a major consumer in dairy cattle feed and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. Availability of ample land, technological resources, and infrastructure have been major drivers of the dairy cattle industry.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share of around 35% in 2018 and is estimated to expand at a healthy CAGR over the forecast period. APAC witnessed the highest demand for organic trace minerals in animal feed owing to growing meat industry along with an increase in demand from countries such as China and India and presence of key manufacturers in the region. China is a major consumer and led the Asia Pacific region in 2018.

Europe and North America are also expected to have a positive impact on future growth owing to steady demand from application sector. In this region, Germany and Spain are the major markets for animal feed organic trace minerals. Iron sector led Europe market in 2018 and is estimated to register a healthy CAGR over the projected period.

North America is estimated to witness the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The reason being, rising demand for meat from the rapidly growing food industry in this region. U.S. led the North America region owing to high demand from poultry and dairy cattle sectors.

Central and South America is estimated to register high demand for zinc. The regional market is expected to be driven by growing demand for poultry and eggs as well as pork. Middle East and Africa is estimated to grow at lucrative pace over the forecast period owing to the presence of a developing poultry sector.
