Asia-Pacific is the dominating region during the forecast period

Worldwide, livestock production and demand have seen a surge over the past few decades specifically, due to the increasing market share of the Asia-Pacific countries. Production and consumption of cattle products have increased significantly in nations like China, India, and Japan. Consumer demand has shifted increasingly toward meat- and animal-based products as a result of developing nations' ongoing economic expansion. High growth and demand are caused, in part, by changing consumer lifestyles, their high purchasing power, and their shifting spending habits. Both the production and consumption of animal-based goods are expected to increase significantly in the Asia-Pacific area during the next several years. The use of feed probiotics will undoubtedly rise as the industry becomes more industrialized. Asia's growing nations are anticipated to provide the gluten-feed business with significant growth potential.

Gluten Feed Market Dynamics and Trends

Increasing demand for animal-based protein sources

The livestock sector has come under increasing pressure in recent years to supply the rising demand for meat and high-quality animal protein. Global livestock consumption has increased as a result of urbanization, rising incomes in developing countries, and population growth. The consumption of milk, meat, and eggs, which are rising at the expense of staple foods, has been proven to be directly connected with income levels and animal protein consumption. Developing nations are starting to consume significant amounts of meat at considerably lower levels of the gross domestic product than developed nations as a result of the drop in the price of meat and meat-related items. As a result of increased demand for meat and dairy products in urban regions relative to rural ones as a result of urbanization, per capita consumption increased from 42.13 kg in 2010 to 43.53 kg in 2014. The market for global gluten feed is being driven by factors such as rising life expectancy, a shortage of land and water resources for the production of animal feed, and a strong need for sources of animal-based protein.

COVID-19 Impact on Gluten Feed Market Growth

Positive impact on the global gluten feed market

The global market for gluten feed has been considerably impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the introduction of COVID-19, interest in vegetarian and gluten-free diets has increased. According to survey results published in the BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health, diets high in plants and fish have been proven to lower the risk of serious infections by 73 and 59 percent, respectively. Because more individuals are concerned about their eating choices and have stacked up fish sauces in grocery stores, the worldwide gluten feed market has experienced increased demand during the shutdown.

Gluten Feed Market Segmentation Analysis

Corn accounts for the highest share of the global gluten-feed market

Corn, or maize, is among the most popular gluten-free cereal grains consumed around the world. In addition to being high in fiber, corn is a rich source of the carotenoid lutein and zeaxanthin, which are plant pigments that act as antioxidants. Studies show that lutein and zeaxanthin can benefit eye health by decreasing the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, two common causes of vision loss in older adults (37Trusted Source). One study found that those with a high intake of carotenoids had a 43% lower risk of age-related macular degeneration compared with those with a low intake. One cup (149 grams) of sweet corn contains 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. It’s also high in pantothenic acid and a good source of vitamin B6, thiamine, and manganese. Corn can be boiled, grilled, or roasted for a healthy side dish to a well-balanced meal.

Gluten Feed Companies and Competitive Landscape

Despite having wide and expanding product portfolios, the results of the market share research show a fragmented market with significant companies holding high market share. The market is dominated by three types of players: brand owners, manufacturing and sales organizations, and research and development corporations. A handful of integrated firms, or those involved in the whole B2B value chain, are also present in the market. Cargill, Roquette, Agrana, and Tate & Lyle are some of the prominent companies in the gluten feed production and supply business. Manufacturers are expanding their production capacities and business operations to meet the global product demand. In November 2020, for example, Cargill invested USD 100 million in Sorini Agro Asia Corporindo, its Indonesian subsidiary. The company had also announced plans to set up a corn wet mill factory and a starch dryer to meet the increasing demand for animal feed ingredients and other areas. With this expansion, Cargill aimed to add new products including corn gluten feed to its portfolio.
