Zinc Methionine Chelates Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges

Key Zinc Methionine Chelates Market Driver

The rise in global meat consumption is the key factor driving market growth. The global per capita consumption of meat has grown at a steady rate in the past decade. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the global production of meat (beef, poultry, and pork) in 2021 was 340 million tons compared with nearly 248 million in 2018. The rise in the population also drives the global meat market and has increased production capacity and supply. 

In addition, rapid urbanization and changing consumer preferences regarding the consumption of meat have also led to an increase in the demand for zinc methionine chelates as producers aim to improve the efficiency and quality of their production processes. The majority of the global rise in meat production and consumption is from APAC and MEA. The healthy economic growth in these regions has boosted the production and consumption of meat, which, in turn, is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Significant Zinc Methionine Chelates Market Trends

Increased focus on animal health is the primary trend shaping market growth. The surging popularity and demand for zinc methionine chelate in the market are closely tied to the increasing focus on animal health and wellness, reflecting current market trends and analysis. Zinc plays a key role in the immune system of animals. A well-functioning immune system is essential for disease resistance and overall health. Zinc methionine chelate, by providing a highly absorbable form of zinc, supports better immune function in livestock. 

Furthermore, the increased focus on animal health has led to a greater demand for feed additives and supplements that support better nutrition, immunity, and overall well-being of livestock. As a result, specialized products such as zinc methionine, known for their positive impact on animal health, have seen increased demand within the feed industry, which, in turn, will drive market growth during the forecast period.

Major Zinc Methionine Chelates Market Challenge

The high cost associated with chelated minerals is a challenge that affects market growth. Chelated minerals often come at a higher cost compared with inorganic sources. This cost difference can pose a challenge for widespread adoption, especially in regions or industries with tight budget constraints. The higher cost of chelated minerals, including zinc methionine, might make them less competitive compared with cheaper alternatives such as inorganic zinc sources. This can hinder their widespread adoption, particularly in markets where cost is a significant factor in decision-making.

In addition, livestock producers and animal feed manufacturers often operate within tight budget constraints. The increased cost of zinc methionine chelates might negatively impact the economic feasibility of incorporating these supplements into animal feed formulations, especially in larger-scale operations. Hence, the high cost of producing zinc methionine chelates may impede market growth during the forecast period.

Zinc Methionine Chelates Market Segmentation by Form Factor, Type, and Geography 

Zinc Methionine Chelates Market Form Factor Analysis 

The market share growth by the powder segment will be significant during the forecast period. The demand for zinc methionine chelate powder has been increasing steadily due to its advantages over other forms of zinc supplements. Zinc methionine chelate offers improved bioavailability and absorption compared with other zinc supplements. This enhanced absorption means that a higher percentage of the supplemented zinc is utilized by the body or animals, making it a more efficient source of the mineral.
