Restraint: Ban on antibiotics in different countries

Antibiotics have been used in feed for decades; however, in 2006, the European Union (EU) banned the use of antibiotics in feed as growth promoters, as microbes developed resistance to antibiotics, which are used to treat human and animal infections. Following the ban by the EU, the use of antibiotics declined in many countries around the globe, especially in countries such as China, India, and the US, due to their overexploitation or misuse.

Restriction on the use of antibiotics, as a growth promoter in feed, in many countries, forced companies to stop using antibiotics in feed premixes. This acts as a major restraint for manufacturers that offer antibiotic-based feed premixes.

The market for the dry segment is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period, by form

By form, the dry segment accounted for the highest market share as well as the highest growth rate in the feed premix market due to the factors such as easy handling and storability, usage in a wide range of livestock applications, and lower manufacturing costs. Feed premixes in the dry form are easier to mix with feed and provide a longer shelf life than in the liquid form, due to which they witness high preference among feed manufacturers.

The poultry segment dominated the market for feed premix by livestock.

The poultry industry consists of four main areas of production—broiler, eggs, pullets, and breeders. It is a fast-evolving industry due to the rapid increase in demand for poultry meat, particularly in India and many Islamic countries. In these countries, the consumption of porcine and livestock meat (India) is projected to be low due to religious beliefs, which, in turn, increases the demand for poultry meat. In addition, the global demand for poultry meat is further set to rise in the coming years due to the increased cost and reduced availability due to the rise in demand for beef and pig meat. Poultry, the most traded meat category, accounts for over 40% of the total meat trade. According to the FAO, global poultry meat production was nearly 111.8 million tons in 2015. Furthermore, the demand for poultry meat is projected to remain high in developing economies.

Asia pacific is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period

Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing segment. Increased awareness among consumers about quality meat and increased meat consumption across the region is expected to provide more scope for market expansion. Livestock is an important constituent of agriculture in the Asia Pacific region. The region widely rears and consumes pork and poultry. With the rising demand for animal products, increased livestock productivity is necessary. Quality feed is the primary determinant of the performance and productivity of livestock.
