Direct-fed Microbials Market Projected to Garner Significant Revenues by 2022

The direct-fed microbials market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.96% to reach USD 1,399.6 Million by 2022. The market is driven by factors such as increase in awareness about feed quality and safety, rising demand for manufactured animal feed, growth in demand for animal protein, changes in farming practices and technology, and replacing antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) with direct-fed microbials. The continuous rise in the population has also resulted in an increase in the demand for food and the necessity for direct-fed microbials, to increase meat and milk production in a sustainable manner.

The consumption of direct-fed microbials is increasing significantly with various government regulations being adopted to improve animal health. The ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in the European Union has created massive demand for direct-fed microbials. On the basis of type, the lactic acid bacteria segment is expected to be the fastest-growing, as these direct-fed microbials are highly effective. 


On the basis of livestock type, the direct-fed microbials (DFM) market has been segmented into swine, poultry, ruminants, aquatic animals, and others, which include equine and pets. The poultry segment is projected to be the fastest-growing, because direct-fed microbials provide poultry birds with protein and this increases their growth rate. With the high demand for poultry meat across the world due to their high nutrient value, the demand for direct-fed microbials is also expected to increase. 

Direct-fed microbials are available in dry and liquid forms. The dry form has a longer shelf life compared to the liquid form, which varies according to the type of direct-fed microbials used in animal feed. Dry microbials have more advantages and are used in various animal feed additive products. Liquid microbials are preferred by farmers as they are easily mixable and do not affect the texture of the feed. 

In 2015, North America accounted for the largest share in the direct-fed microbials (DFM) market, followed by Europe, and the Asian-Pacific region. France and Germany constituted the largest country-level markets in the European region in 2015. Increase in awareness about the benefits of direct-fed microbials, among livestock producers and a rise in population is leading to the growth of the market in this region. The direct-fed microbials market in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow with investments from several multinational manufacturers. The market is also projected to grow due to the increase in advanced agricultural technologies and export of key products in animal feed. Extensive R&D initiatives are also being undertaken to explore new varieties of direct-fed microbials to be used in animal feed. 


Stringent international quality standards and government regulations for direct-fed microbial products act as a restraint for the market. The key players identified in this market include Archer Daniels Midland Company (U.S.), E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (U.S.), Koninklijke DSM N. V. (Netherlands), Novozymes (Denmark), Chr.

The report Oryzenin Market by Type (Isolates, Concentrates), Application (Bakery & Confectionery, Meat Analogs & Extenders, Sports & Energy Nutrition, Dairy Alternatives, Beverages), Form (Dry, Liquid), and Region – Global Forecast to 2022″, is estimated at USD 88.2 Million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 198.2 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 14.5% during the forecast period. The market is driven by factors such as the increasing demand for rice protein due to its functional properties, growth in consumption of plant protein, cost-effectiveness of plant protein as compared to animal protein, and the increasing awareness among consumers towards the importance of protein.

On the basis of application, the oryzenin market was led by sports & energy nutrition, followed by beverages, in 2015. Sports & energy nutrition was the leading segment, owing to the increase in the consumption of sports & energy drinks due to the trend of healthy living among consumers. The application of oryzenin in sports & energy nutrition is attributed to its high amino acid profile and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are essential for athletes and bodybuilders for muscle recovery. Oryzenin increased lean body mass skeletal muscle hypertrophy, power, and strength similar to whey protein. This segment has potential for growth in the near future, with increasing application of oryzenin as a nutrition enhancer in food products.


On the basis of form, the dry segment accounted for a larger market share in 2015. The dry form dominated the oryzenin market as it is easy to handle and can be transported easily with lower expenses, which has increased the demand for dry oryzenin powder. In addition, the liquid form needs further processing to be extracted from the dry form, thus increasing the investment.

The rapid growth of economies in Europe has led to the increase in demand for protein. This factor has resulted in the growth of low-cost protein sources such as vegetable proteins that can be used as substitutes for other protein ingredients. European consumers are emphasizing more on healthier lifestyles; hence, protein product manufacturers need to focus on reducing consumer fears concerning its allergies and safety issues. Gluten is found to cause allergies and it has been estimated that up to 90% of protein in wheat is gluten. Amongst northern European consumers, 30% carry genes for gluten intolerance. This creates tremendous opportunity for other sources of proteins which are free from gluten such as rice protein.
