스타터 사료 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형별, 동물 유형별, 원료별, 유통 채널별, 용도별, 최종사용자별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Starter Feed Market is accounted for $33.04 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $48.24 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Starter feed is a specially formulated feed designed for young animals, such as poultry, piglets, or calves, during the early stages of growth. It is rich in essential nutrients, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals, to support rapid development, immune function, and overall health. Typically offered within the first few days or weeks after birth, starter feed has a fine texture to promote easy digestion. Its composition is tailored to meet the unique dietary needs of young animals, ensuring optimal growth and laying the foundation for future health and productivity.

According to the USDA, global meat production, covering beef, poultry, and pork, surged to 340 billion Kilo Tons in 2021 from 248 billion in 2018.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for animal protein

As consumers seek higher-quality, protein-rich foods, livestock farmers focus on improving production efficiency and ensuring healthy, high-yielding animals. Starter feed, rich in essential nutrients, plays a vital role in early-stage animal growth, enhancing feed conversion and promoting rapid development. This growing demand for protein encourages farmers to invest in quality starter feeds to optimize animal health and productivity. Consequently, the need for effective starter feed solutions continues to rise, driving market expansion globally.

Restraint:

Strict regulatory frameworks

Strict regulatory frameworks in the starter feed market are in place to ensure the safety, quality, and nutritional standards of animal feeds. Such stringent standards increases production costs, limits ingredient choices, and delays product approvals. Compliance with these regulations may be challenging, especially for small-scale producers, reducing the availability of affordable feed options and slowing the introduction of innovative feed formulations to the market.

Opportunity:

Innovations in feed formulations

Advances in ingredient sourcing, such as incorporating alternative protein sources like insects or plant-based proteins, provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. Additionally, the use of precision nutrition and fortified feed formulations ensures that starter feeds are tailored to meet the specific needs of young livestock, improving their health, growth, and immune function. These innovations help address challenges like disease prevention and feed efficiency, thus attracting more farmers and breeders to adopt advanced starter feed solutions, boosting market expansion.

Threat:

High cost of premium feeds

The high cost of premium starter feeds is driven by the use of high-quality ingredients, advanced formulations, and specialized additives to ensure optimal growth and health in young animals. These ingredients, such as animal proteins, vitamins, and minerals, are often expensive to source. Additionally, the need for research and development to create tailored solutions further increases costs. Consequently, it hampers market growth by reducing overall adoption, particularly in cost-sensitive regions or for smaller livestock operations.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the starter feed market. Disruptions in global supply chains, including the availability of raw materials and transportation, led to increased production costs and delays in feed deliveries. Additionally, labor shortages and changes in consumer demand affected the livestock sector. However, the pandemic highlighted the importance of maintaining animal health. As the industry recovers, the market is expected to regain momentum with increasing demand for sustainable and efficient feed solutions.

The growth promotion segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The growth promotion segment is predicted to secure the largest market share throughout the forecast period. Starter feed plays a crucial role in growth promotion for young livestock by providing essential nutrients that support rapid development during the early stages of life. It is specially formulated with high-quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals to ensure optimal growth, strong immune function, and improved overall health. As a result, starter feed is integral to ensuring healthy and productive animals in the long term.

The livestock breeders segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The livestock breeders segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In livestock breeding, starter feed is essential for ensuring the healthy development of newborn animals. It is formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of young livestock, including poultry, calves, and piglets, during their critical early growth stages. For breeders, providing high-quality starter feed is a key practice in improving breeding outcomes, boosting fertility, and ensuring the overall health of the herd, resulting in higher-quality offspring.
