Feed Minerals Market Dynamics

Increase in Demand for High-quality Meat

The increasing demand for high-quality meat products is indeed a significant driver for the animal feed minerals market. As the awareness about food safety and sustainability increases among consumers the demand for high-quality meat in terms of taste, texture, and nutritional content is increasing which shows an impact on animals' diets. The proper mineral in animal diet can contribute to the optimal growth, muscle development, and overall performance of livestock, leading to improved meat quality. Hence, it leads to an increase in the adoption rate.

Furthermore, many manufacturing companies are launching products to help farmers to obtain high-quality products. For instance, in February 2023, the Sher-E-Kashmir Institute of Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship Centre (SKIIE) of SKUAST-Kashmir launched a KashMin. It is a research-based product containing specifically the mineral elements deficient in locally grown fodder, grass and other feed ingredients in proper proportions. It aims to boost milk, meat production and animal fertility that largely depends upon the proper mineral supplementation.

Increase in demand for alternatives to traditional supplements

The increasing demand for alternatives to traditional supplements is driving the animal feed minerals market. The Chelated and complexed minerals are highly preferred as alternatives sourced for traditional inorganic mineral sources. These forms can help in enhancing bioavailability in animals and making it easier to absorb and utilize the minerals. Also, they help in improving the immune system and support gut health. Hence, it leads to an increase in the market.

Furthermore, many manufacturing companies are producing high-quality products in order to expand their market size. For instance, Yara International ASA has produced Bolifor MCP-F which is a feed-grade monocalcium phosphate recommended for use in concentrates, compound feed, mineral feed and other feeds for cattle, pigs, poultry and all animals also including pet food. Such products can help in increasing market growth.

Government Regulations

As consumers are awarness of the food safety is increasing. The governments of different countries often establish maximum permitted levels of specific minerals in animal feed to prevent over-supplementation and potential negative health effects. These limits in feeds can cause in declination of adoption rate for feed minerals in animal farming.

Furthemore, government regulations have shown an impact on the growth of the global feed vitamins market. For instance, Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying of Government of India report of 2022, the government of India has imposed some regulations on the import of animal feed additives/premix/supplements into India be regulated strictly. Which had reduced the imports 21 million from 2021- 22, has shown a decline in market size. 

Feed Minerals Market Segmentation

The global feed minerals market is segmented based on type, animal, function, form, distribution channel, source and region.

Increase in Demand for Effective Feed Additives

The microminerals segment holds the largest share of the global feed minerals market. Animal farming manufacturers and farmers are adopting mineral feeds in animal diets as they provide numerous benefits such as zinc, copper, and selenium help to enhance immune system function. They also help to improve animals' resistance to some infections and diseases and improve overall health, hence it leads to an increase in the market for feed minerals.

Furthermore, many manufacturers are launching innovative products in order to attract larger consumer bases. For instance, in July 2020, Avitech Nutrition launched a PERFORMINS an organic mineral glycinate blend with the specifications distinct 4S advantage of Size, Specificity, Solubility and Stability and is designed for enhanced bio-availability, absorption, and animal performance. Performins has been launched in 4 variants – Performins Broiler, Performins Layer, Performins Breeder and Performins Dairy CMZ. Such product launches can help in driving the market.
