Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global medicinal feed additives market to grow at a CAGR of approximately 5% by 2020. The growing demand for organic meat is the key driver for this market. The augmented utilization of feed additives will help to improve animal growth and ensure feed efficiency. The ability of medicinal feed additives to increase immunity in animals and prevent the spread of infectious diseases will lead to its increased usage during the forecast period.
The high prevalence of zoonotic diseases is the key driver for this market. Zoonotic diseases are highly contagious and can be transmitted directly or indirectly between animals and humans. They normally spread by the consumption of infected meat products or contact with infected animals. Consequently, the demand for medicinal feed additives is increasing as it helps to prevent epizootic diseases and parasitism. These additives also provide genetic enhancements and contribute to improving the overall nutritional content in the animal feed.
The amino acids segment dominated this market in 2015 and accounted for a market share of approximately 27%. Amino acids are essential for animals as they help in the overall development of the immune system and organs in animals. Lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan are the main types of amino acids that are used in feed additives.
In 2015, the pet segment accounted for the largest market share of 40% and is envisaged to further enhance its hold over the market by 2020 owing to the rising demand for pet healthcare products among the consumers. With an increase in the disposable income, pet owners are spending more money on pet care and treatments at various pet care clinics. This increased level of spending will, in turn, aggrandize the demand for medicinal feed additives in the pet segment.
The global medicinal feed additives market is highly fragmented as it is comprised of numerous large- and small-scale suppliers. The regional players in this market typically focus on animal nutrition products for a specific range of species. Since the leading players in this market have a strong foothold in developed economies, the small-scale players will face challenges from larger corporations, not only in terms of innovative technologies but also in terms of meeting manufacturing compliances.
