Growth in the Consumption of Animal-Based Products Drives the Trace Minerals (Chelated) in Feed Market

The chelated feed trace minerals market was valued at USD 408.3 Million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 570.8 Million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.8 % from 2017, in terms of value. In terms of volume, the market is projected to reach 128.0 KT by 2022. The objectives of this study are to define, segment, and project the size of the chelated feed trace minerals based on type, livestock, chelate type, form, and key regions.


Standardization of meat products owing to disease outbreaks and increasing awareness about precision nutrition techniques to improve meat quality have led to the increased consumption of chelated trace minerals. Furthermore, growth in livestock production followed by an increase in the number of animal-based products and continuous rise in meat consumption are other factors driving the global chelated feed trace minerals feed market.

The zinc segment dominated the chelated feed trace minerals market in 2016, globally, followed by copper. Zinc and copper are known as gut conditioners. Zinc is important for protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism and enzyme synthesis. Increasing bioavailability and absorption of zinc due to chelation has increased the demand for chelated zinc. Furthermore, several key players are engaged in the production of agricultural zinc chelated, which also drives its growth in the global market. Zinc is required in small but critical concentrations to allow physiological pathways of animals to function normally. Zinc deficiency is the most common problem witnessed around the globe, especially in pets, which helps drive the market for zinc chelated trace minerals. The European region accounted for the largest market share for the zinc segment in 2016, and this trend is expected to continue over the next five years.


North America is one of the largest producers of livestock and animal-based products in the world, with the US being a major producer. Growing production, as well as consumption of livestock and livestock-based products in this region, have enabled livestock producers to utilize feed with chelated trace minerals, as they are highly effective in promoting the healthier growth of animals and in improving the fertility rate. The US was the largest market for chelated feed trace minerals in North America in 2016. Furthermore, the presence of leading chelated trace minerals companies such as Cargill, ADM, DSM, BASF, and Nutreco in North America, and their continuous efforts for promoting their business in the chelated trace minerals segment through various strategies such as acquisitions and expansions are expected to drive the market for chelated feed trace minerals in this region.

Feed Yeast Market Growth, Trends, Analysis, Forecast to 2022

The global feed yeast market is projected to grow from USD 375.5 million in 2016 to USD 602.8 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 8.21% from 2016 to 2022. Increasing demand for quality animal produce, improved feed efficiency and animal productivity, and growing awareness about animal health and feed quality are some of the key factors driving the growth of this market.

Request for Free Sample Pages: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestsampleNew.asp?id=108142106

The feed yeast market is mainly impacted by the increasing consumer demand for quality animal produce. The significant increase in demand for various animal products, such as milk, dairy products, meat products, eggs, and other non-food items has fueled the growth of the feed yeast market.

The feed yeast market in the Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing usage and awareness about the positive effects of feed yeast are projected to contribute significantly to the market growth. Feed yeast is added to cattle, dairy, poultry, equine, and pet feed to help animals digest fiber-dense products and increase their feed intake efficiency. In the developing countries of Asia-Pacific with low per capita income, the inclusion of feed yeast in the diet of livestock helps lower the overall production cost of animal-based products.

Speak to Analyst: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/speaktoanalystNew.asp?id=108142106

Strict government regulations have hindered the growth of the feed yeast market. Spent yeast is mainly derived as an industrial fermentation by-product and is a rich source of protein, particularly for poultry, swine, and ruminants. Since decades, brewers have been selling their leftover grains to farmers for feeding their livestock. However, in April 2014, the US government imposed a regulation that spent grain should be used for pet food. The imposition of this regulation is projected to be expensive for manufacturers as well as farmers, and hamper the market growth.

Key players in the market include Archer Daniels Midland Company (US), AngelYeast Co., Ltd (China), LALLEMAND Inc (Canada), Alltech (US), and Cargill, Incorporated (US), Associated British Foods plc (UK), Nutreco N.V. (Netherlands), Lesaffre (France), Leiber GmbH (Germany), and Diamond V (US). These players are focusing on undertaking mergers & acquisitions, expansions, new product launches, partnerships, agreements, joint ventures, and collaborations to improve their presence in the market.

Target Audience:

  • Feed yeast manufacturers
  • Feed yeast importers and exporters
  • Feed yeast traders, distributors, and suppliers
  • Government and research organizations
  • Associations and industry bodies such as The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA), The Compound Feed Manufacturers Association (CLFMA), The Animal Feed Manufacturers Association (AFMA), and The European Feed Manufacturers’ Federation (FEFAC)
