세계의 사료용 미량 미네랄 시장 : 유형별, 소스별, 형태별, 동물 유형별, 용도별, 지역별 분석 및 예측(-2032년)

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Trace Minerals in Feed Market is accounted for $622 million in 2025 and is expected to reach $918 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. The growth, reproduction, and general health of livestock depend on trace minerals, which are vital micronutrients needed in trace amounts in feed. Zinc, copper, selenium, iron, iodine, and manganese are among these minerals. They are essential for metabolic processes, immunological response, and enzyme activity, although they are required in trace levels. In livestock systems, proper trace mineral supplementation in animal feed guarantees maximum output, resistance to disease, and enhanced feed efficiency.

According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), China's meat production rose from 25.2 million metric tons in 2022 to 26.4 million metric tons in 2023.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increased awareness of animal health and productivity

Animal productivity and health are becoming increasingly important, which is fueling the trace mineral market in feed. A large number of farmers and livestock producers are realizing how crucial trace minerals like zinc, iron, and selenium are for enhancing animal immune systems, reproductive health, and general health. Additionally, the increased demand for premium animal protein has made effective livestock production more crucial, which has prompted the use of diets high in minerals. This awareness helps the market grow by ensuring animals thrive.

Restraint:

High cost of certain trace minerals

The high price of several trace minerals hinders market growth. Minerals such as cobalt and selenium frequently demand sophisticated extraction and processing methods, which raises their cost. Supply chain interruptions and variable raw material prices further compound this problem. Additionally, gaining market share is difficult because of this financial barrier, especially in developing nations. The inability of smaller livestock producers to purchase high-quality mineral supplements may restrict broader adoption.

Opportunity:

Increasing use of precision feeding technologies

The feed market for trace minerals has a big opportunity due to precision feeding technologies. These cutting-edge devices improve feed efficiency and cut waste by enabling optimal nutrition delivery catered to the needs of each individual animal. Additionally, new mineral formulations that improve nutritional absorption in animals include chelated minerals for increased bioavailability. Precision feeding technology presents a profitable growth path since it improves cattle productivity and health while also supporting sustainability objectives.

Threat:

Stringent and changing regulatory landscape

The strict and changing regulatory environment threatens trace minerals in the feed market. To avoid overuse and environmental damage, governments around the world place stringent restrictions on the amount of mineral inclusion. Furthermore, adhering to disparate international standards presents challenges for multinational producers. These difficulties raise the cost of production and might stifle creativity in novel formulations. Regulations moving toward plant-based protein substitutes may also lessen the need for conventional animal feed additives.

Covid-19 Impact:

The trace mineral market in feed was severely impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to restaurant closures and decreased meat consumption, lockdowns had an effect on feed demand and livestock production. Delays in the supply chain made problems worse by postponing the fabrication and acquisition of minerals. Numerous feed companies had short-term closures, which led to losses. But the market started to recover gradually as regulations relaxed and customer preferences became more common.

The iron segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The iron segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Iron is essential for preventing anemia and improving oxygen transport in livestock, especially swine and ruminants. Its affordability and broad availability in inorganic forms, such as ferrous sulfate, influence feed producers' preferences. Furthermore, growing hog production in Asia Pacific and the increasing prevalence of iron deficiency in high-growth breeds support demand. New developments in encapsulated iron formulations that enhance absorption and lessen gastrointestinal problems reinforce its market dominance. The approval of iron fortification in feed by regulatory bodies highlights how essential it is to contemporary animal husbandry.

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

Over the forecast period, the poultry segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. This is due to the increasing global demand for reasonably priced protein and eggs. Trace elements like zinc and manganese, which complement intensive farming methods, improve poultry growth rates, feather quality, and disease resistance. Antibiotic reduction measures in places like North America and Europe further increase the demand for mineral-based health supplements. For large-scale poultry farms, premix methods have advanced to assure consistent mineral distribution in feed. The market is also growing due to rising investments in broiler and layer production in emerging economies.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Europe region is expected to hold the largest market share due to strict EU laws governing animal care and feed safety. Increased consumer knowledge of sustainable techniques and meat quality promotes the use of organic trace minerals. Strong R&D investments in France and Germany also produce advanced mineral formulations for the dairy and poultry industries. The region's focus on reducing antibiotic usage in cattle increases demand for minerals that strengthen the immune system. To become carbon neutral, governments and feed producers are working together to further solidify Europe's leadership.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR due to growing cattle numbers in China, India, and Vietnam. Mineral-enriched diets are required as the demand for meat, dairy, and aquaculture products rises due to urbanization and rising disposable incomes. Government initiatives that support modern farming methods and animal nutrition hasten adoption. Increasing livestock product exports also forces producers to fulfill global quality requirements, which encourages the use of premium minerals. Furthermore, local firms and international feed giants form strategic alliances that increase market penetration and set up the area for rapid expansion.
