Animal Feed Ingredients Market Poised for Substantial Growth, Projecting a Rising Factor to USD 60.2 Billion by 2035

The global animal feed ingredients market is on a robust growth trajectory, forecast to expand from an estimated USD 42.7 billion in 2025 to a significant USD 60.2 billion by 2035, exhibiting a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. This compelling outlook underscores the critical and expanding role of feed ingredients, particularly protein-based components, in fulfilling the escalating nutritional demands of livestock, poultry, and aquaculture systems worldwide.

The increasing global demand for high-quality protein from meat, eggs, and dairy products is the primary catalyst driving this market expansion. As populations grow and dietary preferences evolve, especially in emerging economies, the necessity for efficient and nutritious animal feed becomes paramount to ensure optimal animal health, growth, and reproduction.

Key Market Insights and Trends:

Dominance of Plant-Based Proteins: In 2025, plant-based proteins commanded a remarkable 75% share of the market, driven by their cost-effectiveness, widespread availability, and growing emphasis on sustainable feed solutions. This segment, including ingredients like soy, wheat gluten, and corn gluten meal, is expected to maintain its leading position throughout the forecast period due to its lower environmental impact compared to animal-based alternatives.

Compound Feed Leads the Way: The compound feed segment holds the largest share, over 65% in 2025, in the animal feed ingredients market. This dominance is attributed to its crucial role in providing balanced and nutritionally complete diets for large-scale livestock and poultry operations, enhancing feed efficiency and overall animal health.

Poultry Sector Fuels Demand: The poultry segment accounts for approximately 45% of the total market share in 2025, driven by the consistently high global demand for poultry meat and eggs. The intensive nature of poultry farming necessitates high-quality, protein-rich feed ingredients, further propelling this segment's growth.

Asia Pacific: A Hotbed of Growth: The Asia Pacific region is identified as the key growth region, with India emerging as the fastest-growing market within it, boasting an impressive 4.5% CAGR. China also demonstrates strong growth potential with a projected 3.9% CAGR, fueled by large-scale livestock sectors and supportive national policies.

Global Shift to Intensive Animal Husbandry: A major driver for market expansion is the global transition towards more intensive animal husbandry practices. This shift is particularly pronounced in emerging economies, where rising middle-class populations are driving increased consumption of meat and dairy products, thereby escalating the demand for efficient animal feed.

Cost Efficiency and Sustainability Driving Innovation: The industry is increasingly focused on developing cost-efficient and sustainable feed options. This includes a growing interest in novel protein sources such as insect meal and algae, driven by the need to reduce environmental impact and manage the volatility of raw material prices. Regulatory support, such as the APHIS' NADPRP providing up to USD 16.5 million in FY 2025 funding for disease preparedness, further underscores the industry's commitment to animal health and sustainable practices.

Competitor Benchmarks and Industry Landscape:

The animal feed ingredients market is characterized by the presence of both established giants and innovative disruptors. Leading players like DuPont, Mosaic Company, BurconNutrascience Corporation, ADM, Alltech, Hamlet Proteins, DSM, CHS, J.R. Simplot Co., and BRF are continually investing in research and development to enhance feed quality, efficiency, and sustainability.

Recent strategic moves by key players highlight industry trends:

Mosaic's "Runs for Food" Partnership: In May 2025, Mosaic launched a four-year partnership with the Tampa Bay Rays, "Runs for Food," demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility and addressing food insecurity, indirectly showcasing the company's broader engagement beyond core operations.

DSM-Firmenich Merger: The 2024 merger of DSM and Firmenich to form DSM-Firmenich underscores a strategic move to boost innovation and sustainable development across both animal and human nutrition markets, including animal feed ingredients. This reflects a trend towards consolidating expertise and resources to address evolving market demands.

While developed economies like the USA (3.7% CAGR), Japan (3.6% CAGR), and the UK (3.3% CAGR) continue to show stable demand, the robust growth in emerging markets like India and China signifies a global shift in consumption patterns and production capabilities.

The animal feed ingredients market is foundational to global food security, ensuring the sustainable and efficient production of animal protein. With ongoing innovation in feed formulations, increasing demand for plant-based proteins, and a strong focus on sustainability, the market is well-positioned for continued expansion, contributing significantly to the broader agricultural and food industries worldwide.
