Animal Feed Market size is estimated to be valued at around USD 500 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 3.5% over 2022–2028. In recent years, the global demand for meat and dairy products has propelled the animal feed market.

Animal protein production is expected to increase by 1.6% per year between 2010 and 2050, with meat production expected to increase by nearly 72%, aquaculture by 91%, and dairy by 54%. During the projected period, rapid urbanization and rising consumption of meat and other end products such as milk and eggs will drive the animal feed market growth. By combining enriched nutrients with the feedstuff, the feed aids in improving the animal’s capacities, accelerating development and weight increase, and developing immunity.
