Global Prebiotics in Animal Feed Market Outlook 2022

Prebiotics in Animal Feed Market Outlook - 2022

The global Prebiotics in Animal Feed market was valued at US$ 23 million in 2020 and it is expected to reach US$ 32 million by the end of 2027, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% during 2021-2027.

Key drivers of the market include the growing adoption of prebiotics in animal feed for improving livestock nutrition. The positive effects of pig feed will drive the growth of the prebiotics in animal feed market during the forecast period. The aquaculture industry will provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market in the coming years. Animal food consumption goes through strict industrial scrutiny which will surge the demand for the market in the upcoming years. 

Prebiotics in Animal Feed Market Trends

Livestock Nutrition

The increasing food consumption and huge demand for meat are escalating the need for prebiotics to enhance the performance of several livestock species. They boost the immune system and improve animal healthcare. Gut health is modulated by stimulating the growth of good bacteria leading to enhancement in feed conversion. This will drive the growth of the prebiotics in animal feed market. Pathogen colonization is blocked as the elements act as inhibitors of pathogen adhesion to intestinal cells. Prebiotics are a viable and natural alternative to antibiotics. The awareness regarding the harmful effects of prebiotics has increased significantly. Poultry and ruminants are highly responsive to prebiotic diets. Supplementation leads to better weight gain and faster nutrient absorption. They ferment in the intestinal tract to produce volatile fatty acids. Beneficial bacteria thrive on these acids and grow in number. It maintains the balance of microbes and drastically expands the body’s ability to rid itself of toxins, and waste.  

Pig feed

Several research studies have shown that prebiotics in pig diets improve growth performance and have immunomodulatory effects. They increase the production of beneficial bacterial metabolites and regulate intestinal microbiota. Pigs usually suffer from the paracellular transport of endotoxins and pathogens. This is due to an abysmal intestinal barrier function and a decrease in brush-border alkaline phosphatase activities. Overproduction of endotoxin and inflammation lead to suppressed appetite and improper channeling of nutrients. Hence immunomodulation is a necessary element of the pig diet. This will foster the growth of prebiotics in the animal feed market in the forthcoming years. Elements like insulin, fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide stimulate lactic acid bacteria growth in the colon. The prebiotic supplements are effectively designed to provide disease resistance. 

Aquaculture industry

Farm-reared fish production is rising rapidly due to booming seafood consumption. However, the overuse of antibiotic therapies and other unsustainable fishing practices have led to the destruction of wild populations and frequent disease outbreaks. Hence the focus on sustainability and certified aquaculture production is a must. Prebiotics play a central role in the growing domain of sustainability. This will bolster the demand for the prebiotics in animal feed market in the upcoming years. They are environmentally friendly feed additives that boost bacterial growth and improve host health. Commercial prebiotics involves yeast cells containing immunomodulatory substances such as mannan-sugars, chitin, nucleotides, and proteins. The growth performance and tendency for stress tolerance are high. The resultant higher lysozyme activity led to stronger resistance to bacterial infections. It also reduces lipid damage in liver tissues and promotes antioxidant properties. 

Need for maintaining high food hygiene and quality

After the disastrous consequence of the covid 19 pandemic, many food safety authorities have established strict scrutiny of food production and transport for preventing the spread of harmful zoonotic diseases. For instance, World Health Organization has set up specific food standards to maintain hygiene and safety practices. This will drive the demand for the prebiotics in animal feed market during the forecast period. Clean-label animal feed probiotic products are in huge demand for boosting animal health. 

Prebiotics in Animal Feed Market Analysis

Based on product type, the Isomaltooligosaccharide segment is expected to dominate in the prebiotics market share with 30%.

Based on application, the ruminant feed segment will witness considerable growth due to the rising use of prebiotics in cattle feed to boost good bacteria in the gut.  

Based on region, Europe is the largest market with a share of 35%. This is due to the ban on antibiotics and the growing consumption of prebiotics in animal feed. It is followed by China and Japan with a share of 50%.
