 The report "Probiotics in Animal Feed Market by Livestock (Poultry, Ruminants, Swine, Aquaculture, Pets), Source (Bacteria [Lactobacilli, Streptococcus Thermophilus, Bifidobacteria] and Yeast & Fungi), Form (Dry and Liquid), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025", The global probiotics in animal feed market is estimated to be valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach about USD 7.0 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 7.4%. The growth of this market is attributed to the rise in demand for functional animal feed products in emerging economies such as Asia Pacific and RoW.

Driver: Growth in consumption of animal-based products

Several changes have been witnessed regarding the dietary habits and consumption patterns of the population, wherein a shift has been observed toward the increased consumption of meat and dairy products. This increase in the demand for various animal products such as milk, dairy products, meat products, eggs, and other non-food items has led to the growth in the usage of feed additives, thereby boosting the probiotics in animal feed market growth. The rapid growth in population has also increased the demand for food all over the world.

The livestock sector is under significant pressure to meet the growing global demand for high-value animal products. Consumers are becoming health-conscious and are focusing on nutrition-rich diets, which are provided by enriched feed products offered to the livestock. Livestock products such as meat, milk, and eggs are rich sources of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamins. The demand for probiotics in animal feed has increased due to the health benefits associated with the consumption of probiotics. They help in maintaining the microbial flora in the intestinal tract of animals and in enhancing the resistance against pathogens by improving their immune system. They also aid in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, infectious diarrhea, and antibiotic-related diarrhea. This helps animals to derive maximum nutrition from the feed, which in turn increases the quality of animal products.
