Nutritional Ingredients in Animal Feed Market grows with rising demand for animal products and increasing focus on food quality and safety during 2026–2030.

According to the TechSci Research report titled “Nutritional Ingredients in Animal Feed Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2030,” the global Nutritional Ingredients in Animal Feed Market was valued at USD 110.01 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.91% through 2030. The market's expansion is driven by multiple converging factors, including increasing global demand for animal-based protein, growing awareness of animal nutrition, and the rising popularity of protein supplements in consumer diets.

As global consumers become more health-conscious, there is a growing emphasis on nutrition-rich, high-protein diets. This shift has not only spurred demand for dietary supplements and fortified foods but has also indirectly impacted the animal feed industry. Many working individuals are now seeking convenient sources of protein, leading to greater consumption of animal-based products like milk, eggs, and meat. Consequently, farmers and producers are under pressure to enhance the nutritional value and yield of animal products, creating a strong demand for high-quality feed formulations rich in essential nutrients.

A key factor fueling this market growth is the surging popularity of animal-based protein powders such as whey protein, casein, egg white protein, collagen, and beef protein. These supplements are preferred over plant-based alternatives for their superior amino acid profiles, better flavor, and enhanced mixability. As consumer demand for these products continues to grow, the need to ensure optimal animal health and nutrition becomes increasingly important, making high-performance feed ingredients a top priority for livestock producers.

The market is also benefiting from the booming cosmetic and personal care industries, particularly with the rising popularity of collagen-based beauty and skincare products. Collagen, which is derived from animal sources, is gaining traction for its role in enhancing skin health, promoting elasticity, and reducing signs of aging. This, in turn, is pushing livestock producers to adopt nutritional strategies that enhance the collagen content in animals, further boosting demand for specific feed additives and formulations.

Another major contributor to market growth is the rapidly expanding food and beverage sector, which relies heavily on consistent and high-quality animal protein ingredients. As consumption patterns shift toward ready-to-eat meals, packaged meat, and dairy products, producers are turning to nutritionally enriched animal feed to ensure reliable production volumes and premium-quality output. The emphasis on food safety, traceability, and sustainability is also prompting the adoption of science-backed feeding practices and ingredient transparency.

The rising global demand for meat and dairy products is perhaps the most dominant force driving the growth of the Nutritional Ingredients in Animal Feed Market. In developing regions, rising disposable incomes and expanding middle-class populations are fueling increased consumption of chicken, beef, pork, and milk. Urbanization and lifestyle changes have led to a growing reliance on processed and packaged protein sources, requiring a stable and nutritious animal feed supply to maintain quality standards across production lines.

To meet this growing demand, livestock and dairy farmers are intensifying their operations and turning to more scientifically formulated feed options. Nutritional ingredients such as proteins, amino acids, probiotics, vitamins, and enzymes are being used to improve feed efficiency, promote faster animal growth, enhance reproductive performance, and increase milk and egg yields. This push toward higher productivity and better-quality output is accelerating the global shift from traditional feeding methods to nutrient-optimized feed strategies.

Market Segmentation Overview

The Global Nutritional Ingredients in Animal Feed Market is segmented based on nutrition type, animal type, source, regional distribution, and company.

Among these, enzymes are anticipated to register the fastest growth rate throughout the forecast period. Enzymes play a vital role in breaking down complex feed ingredients—such as starches, fibers, and proteins—into digestible components, thereby improving nutrient absorption and feed conversion ratios. They help reduce feed wastage and make animal farming more cost-effective, especially as raw material prices continue to rise. Moreover, the growing preference for antibiotic-free livestock production and the increased focus on gut health and sustainability are accelerating the adoption of enzymes as feed additives.

Innovation in enzyme technology is another factor contributing to this growth. Feed producers are developing species-specific enzyme blends tailored to the digestive systems and nutritional needs of poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture. These customized solutions help optimize performance while minimizing environmental impact, aligning with global efforts toward eco-friendly farming.

Regional Outlook

Regionally, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market is experiencing exponential growth in the Nutritional Ingredients in Animal Feed sector. Several countries across the region—including China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia—are seeing rapid expansion in their livestock and dairy industries, driven by population growth, urbanization, and changing dietary preferences toward animal proteins.

Government support in the form of subsidies, technical assistance, and infrastructure development is further encouraging the adoption of advanced feeding solutions. Food security initiatives and sustainability programs are also prompting the use of more efficient and nutrient-dense animal feed to increase productivity while minimizing environmental degradation.

Furthermore, Asia-Pacific is home to a robust network of local and international feed manufacturers that are investing heavily in research and development. These companies are focused on delivering innovative, cost-effective, and regionally adapted nutritional ingredients to meet the specific needs of livestock farmers across diverse climatic and economic conditions. This dynamic ecosystem is significantly contributing to the region's leadership position in the global market.

Conclusion

The Global Nutritional Ingredients in Animal Feed Market is poised for strong and sustained growth through 2030, driven by rising consumer demand for protein-rich foods, increasing health consciousness, and the expanding role of functional animal nutrition. While cost pressures and supply chain complexities remain challenges, ongoing innovation in enzyme technologies, growing preference for antibiotic-free livestock production, and strong regional momentum in Asia-Pacific are expected to propel the market forward. As the world continues to demand more from its food systems, nutritional ingredients in animal feed will remain at the heart of sustainable and efficient animal farming practices.
