Animal Microbiome Market size was valued at US$ 6,182.3 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at 9.1% CAGR from 2024 – 2030. The animal microbiome refers to the collection of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaea, and other microbes, that live on or inside animals these microbial communities reside in various parts of the animal's body, such as the skin, gut, respiratory tract, mouth, and reproductive organs. The key market drivers of animal microbiome market are increasing demand for feed additives that promote health and productivity, growing demand for livestock products like demand for meat, diary and other livestock products, rising gut health complications in animals and the emergence of prebiotics & probiotics as an alternative antibiotic in animals.

The restraints of the market are microbiome is hosting specificity as each individual varies with species, ethical concern is as issue as some animal models are used for microbiome research. The market have some key opportunities including biomedical research, demand for the usage of prebiotics and probiotics. The emerging trends of the market are captivity that can reduce the diversity and functionality of an animal's microbiome, which can negatively impact their health. For example, animals that are fed supplements or kept in gated conditions have more homogenized gut compositions than animals that forage freely, the market has seen a rapid increase in research and development in recent years. This has led to growing awareness of antibiotic-free animal-derived products.
