As per a new Fact.MR analysis, the global animal feed probiotics market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 9.1%, increasing from its current value of US$ 5 billion to US$ 12 billion by the end of 2032.
With rising consumption of protein-rich diets across the globe, key players are improving the production of animal feed probiotics. Moreover, to prevent the outbreaks of cattle-based or poultry-based diseases, end users are increasing the adoption of these probiotics. This is resulting in increased research and development activities among leading players to capitalize on growing demand.
As per the study, animal feed probiotics help in maintaining a healthy gut and digestive tract. Consequently, livestock animals are frequently fed animal feed probiotics as vital ingredients. Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus are considered to be the two main sources used in the production of animal feed probiotics. However, rising awareness regarding the health benefits of yeast and fungi consumption will also boost the sales.
Additionally, increasing popularity of organic livestock and advancements in development of animal feed are also expected to drive demand for probiotics. Hence, key manufacturers are focusing on developing new probiotics due to their restrictive effect on digestive diseases.
However, the regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have banned the usage of antibiotics as feed supplements for poultry and livestock animals. Hence, key players such as Evonik, Novozymes, Chr. Hansen, and others are focusing on developing high quality probiotics to gain revenue. On the back of these aforementioned factors, the demand in animal feed probiotics market is expected to surpass US$ 12 Billion by the end of 2032.
