USAgNet - 08/20/2018

According to a new market research report "Feed Acidifiers Market by Type (Propionic Acid, Formic Acid, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Sorbic Acid, Malic Acid), Form (Dry, Liquid), Compound (Blended, Single), Livestock (Poultry, Swine, Ruminants, Aquaculture), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023", published by MarketsandMarkets, the market is estimated to be valued at $2.73 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $3.50 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.1%. The market is driven by the rising consumption of meat and dairy products, the high threat of diseases in livestock, and the ban of antibiotics in the European Union (EU).

The Feed Acidifiers Market, by type, is estimated to be dominated by the propionic acid segment. Propionic acid is widely used as a dietary supplement and as a source of nutrition. Propionic acid is also used in the ensiling process for poultry feed, as it improves silage production and provides aerobic stability in silage. It also helps curb bacterial growth in molds, and hence, can also be used as a preservative in animal feed. The preservative effect of propionic acid thereby aids the prevention of feed nutrient losses and mycotoxin formation.

The dry segment, by from, is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Most companies in the Feed Acidifiers Market offer their products in the dry form, due to its ease of usage, storage, and transportability. These products are widely used in feed formulations due to their free-flowing structure and their ability to provide consistency. Such factors are expected to drive the market for the dry form of feed acidifiers during the forecast period.

The blended market, by compound, is projected to be dominated by the blended segment and is also projected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period. Blended acidifier compounds help reduce the presence of harmful microorganisms in feed in addition to promoting beneficial microbial growth in the gut. Conversely, the addition of antibiotics inhibits the growth of any microorganisms, even if they are beneficial to livestock.

The South American market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2023. This growth is attributable to the development of the animal husbandry sector in the region that has promoted an increase in the consumption of feed additives such as acidifiers, rising income levels in emerging economies such as Brazil and Argentina which is supporting consumer inclination to better quality meat and other livestock products, rising demand for South American meat.
