Medicated Feed Additives Market: Growth Opportunities and Recent Developments

The report "Medicated Feed Additives Market by Type (Antioxidants, Antibiotics, Probiotics & Prebiotics, Enzymes, Amino Acids), Livestock (Ruminants, Poultry, Swine, Aquaculture), Mixture Type, Category, and Region - Global Forecast to 2022", The global medicated feed additives market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.41% from 2016 and reach USD 15.32 Billion by 2022. The market is driven by factors such as the growing consumption of meat and dairy products, shift of the livestock industry from an unorganized sector to an organized one and growing concerns about the health of livestock and industrialization of animal processed products. Moreover, the growing global population drives the meat consumption growth over the forecast period in developing countries thereby driving the growth of the medicated feed additives market. As a result, many multinational players have entered into the production of various products of medicated feed additives that protects the health of the animal and provides nutritional ingredients.


On the basis of livestock, the poultry segment is estimated to dominate the medicated feed additives market in 2016. On a global level, the poultry production has been increasing with the rise in consumption of poultry products; it has become important for meat producers to focus more on the quality of additives fed to these birds. This boosts the medicated feed additives market to provide complete nutritional feed for poultry birds.

On the basis of mixture type, the supplements segment accounted for the largest market share in 2015. Supplements include trace elements and micro feeds such as protein supplements, which are included in animal diet to overcome deficiencies.. They are a concentrated source of nutrients and therefore have higher nutritive value than fibrous fodder, making them the most preferred mixture type for medicated food additives.

The Asia Pacific region accounted for the major market share for medicated feed additives between 2016 and 2022. Asia Pacific records the maximum consumption of medicated feed additives due to the increase in population and rise in disposable income.

Herbicides are one of the major crop protection chemicals used for weed control. The herbicides market is segmented on the basis of herbicides type, mode of action, crop type, and region. On the basis of type, the herbicides market was dominated by the glyphosate segment and was followed by diquat and 2,4-D segments in 2015. With increasing use of glyphosate-based products in various forms, such as gel and powder across countries, glyphosate is projected to remain a leading segment. Diquat herbicide accounted for the second largest market share in 2015. Diquat is considered as a substitute for paraquat as both are non-selective contact herbicides and have almost similar chemical properties. Hence, the usage of diquat has increased, particularly in China and other developing economies, after declaring paraquat a restricted use pesticide (RUP) by environmental protection agencies in more than 30 countries.

The herbicides market, based on mode of action, is segmented into non-selective and selective. The non-selective herbicide segment has the largest market share in 2015. As non-selective herbicide is formulated for both, broadleaf and grass weeds, it finds application in most of the vegetation types and is a preferred alternative to selective herbicides. Additionally, with the introduction of GM crops that have herbicide tolerance, the demand for non-selective herbicides is projected to increase during the forecast period

The South American region dominated the herbicides market in 2015. This is due to the emergence of South American countries as agricultural powerhouses, growing above the global growth average. Growth in this region is significantly contributed to by the growth in Brazil and Argentina. Economic growth in South America has been supported by democratization and economic reforms. Availability of arable land and expansion of farmlands, especially in Brazil and Argentina, are driving the growth in this market.


Additionally, the regulatory framework in South America is less stringent as compared to North America and Europe. The Pesticide Action Network (South America) handles regulatory control in the region. T Herbicide products can be registered with minimum resistance from other regulatory agencies in the South American region.

This report includes a study of development strategies, along with the product portfolios of the leading companies in the herbicides market. The key companies profiled are BASF SE (Germany), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (U.S.), Monsanto Company (U.S.), and Syngenta AG (Switzerland), FMC Corporation (U.S.), Platform Specialty Products Corporation (U.S.), Nufarm Ltd.

Upcoming Growth Trends in the Glufosinate Market

The glufosinate market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.37 Billion in 2016, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.25% from 2016 to 2022. Glufosinate are widely accepted in agricultural and non-agricultural applications and play a vital role in weed controlling. Its usage is growing in recent years because it is considered as a suitable substitute for glyphosate and paraquat. The proportion of glyphosate-resistant weeds has been growing over the past few years because of its extensive usage. Farmers consider glufosinate as a better alternative in the non-selective herbicides market to protect and maintain crop yield. Furthermore, the USFDA considers glufosinate as a safer option compared to other herbicides available in the U.S. market such as paraquat. Hence, glufosinate should be viewed as a business opportunity in the next five years.
