The global animal feed market size is projected to reach USD 816.78 billion by 2030, as per a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2023 to 2030. The growth is majorly driven by the rising demand for higher-quality food products like meat, eggs, and milk, which has led to an increased usage of animal feed in the region.

The market growth is faced with challenges such as the price volatility of raw materials and additives used in feed preparations. For example, a sudden increase in corn prices can affect small and medium-sized pig farm owners as it is less affordable for them. In addition, the growing trend of people adopting vegan and vegetarian diets and reducing meat consumption could reduce the demand for meat, negatively impacting the product demand. Furthermore, outbreaks of animal diseases like African Swine Fever (ASF) and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) can also limit market growth.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the worldwide average per capita demand for meat will rise by 2% between 2020 and 2032. This increase is mainly due to the growing consumption of meat in middle-income countries, which will play a vital role in driving this overall market growth. As middle-income countries experience urbanization, economic growth, and the expansion of the fast-food industry, substantial shifts in consumer meat preferences are expected. On the other hand, in low-income countries, higher meat consumption is primarily driven by the growth in population.
