The global animal feed market is entering a phase of sustained growth, with the latest insight from Future Market Insights projecting the industry to surge from USD 605.3 billion in 2025 to USD 1,224.6 billion by 2035, representing a robust CAGR of 7.3%.

This remarkable expansion is underpinned by several converging drivers: rising global demand for animal-derived proteins, intensification of poultry and aquaculture operations in emerging economies, and heightened regulatory pressures promoting antibiotic-free feed. As farms scale up production, feed costs—which typically represent 60–70% of total production expenses—are compelling manufacturers to innovate in formulation, processing and supply chain efficiency.

The industry is characterized by key trends shaping its trajectory. The plant-based feed source segment is projected to dominate with a 68.2% share by 2035, thanks to broad availability of cereals and oilseeds and growing sustainability mandates. Future Market Insights The commercial poultry segment leads by species, accounting for 37.4% of the market in 2025, driven by its high feed conversion efficiency and global protein-demand dynamics.

Technological advancements are playing a pivotal role. Manufacturers are adopting precision-nutrition platforms, real-time data analytics, and integrated mill automation to optimise feed conversion ratios, reduce waste and improve animal health. Alternative protein sources – including insect meals, single-cell biomass and algal proteins – are also being explored to mitigate reliance on traditional soy and fishmeal.

Regionally, the Asia-Pacific region emerges as the fastest-growing market, with India projected to expand at an 8.5% CAGR between 2025–2035. China follows closely at 7.9%, benefitting from integrated poultry and aquaculture operations. Developed markets such as the U.S. and Germany are registering growth slightly below the global average, reflecting their maturation and focus on feed-efficiency upgrades.

Key players shaping the competitive landscape include DSM N.V., BASF SE, Fuji Chemical Industries Co., Divi’s Laboratories, Piveg Inc. and FenchemBiotek Ltd. – all of whom are actively investing in novel feed additives, digital solutions and supply-chain innovation.

Despite the strong outlook, challenges persist. Raw-material volatility, environmental constraints, and stringent regulatory standards around antibiotic usage and feed traceability remain key hurdles. Feed manufacturers must remain agile and invest in innovation to optimise margins and comply with shifting global frameworks.
