The demand for dietary supplements is increasing significantly owing to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and changing dietary habits of consumers. Increasing consumer health awareness and rising disposable income across regions are factors that have encouraged people to shift to dietary supplements. The elderly population is focusing on adapting to nutritional supplements specifically tailored to their needs to maintain their good health and quality of life.


Drivers: Aging population to drive the market growth

Consumers across regions have become more health-conscious, which is driving the growth of the dietary supplements market. The aging population of some countries, such as Japan, Italy, Portugal, and Germany, is another key factor that is projected to drive the overall market.

The elderly population is focusing on adapting to nutritional supplements specifically tailored to their needs to maintain their good health and quality of life. The process of aging results in various changes in an individual, including psychological, physiological, and social, which affect their dietary and food choices. ging population increasingly relies on habitual food choices and tailored dietary consumption patterns. The rising aging population in some countries, over the years, has increased the demand for developing age-friendly food alternatives with enhanced nutritional value to support their overall health, which has led to an increased demand for dietary supplements that further support the market growth. With increasing bone health and mobility concerns, consumers have become more aware of healthy aging and disease prevention. Thus, there is an increased demand for supplemental nutrition solutions that align with the nutritional needs of aging consumers.

Restraints: High cost of dietary supplements

Science and technology are helping people identify foods that will help people manage their weight and overall health. Dietary supplements involve significantly high costs, which could act as a restraint for the growth of the market.

These supplements being less economic might restrict the growth of the dietary supplements market, particularly in price-sensitive countries such as South Africa and India. Asian countries are yet to adapt to the growing trend of nutrition-specific supplements.

With the increasing concerns of poor health and changes in lifestyle, consumers have shifted to dietary supplements to build their core strength and for biological benefits. Although these dietary supplements are comparatively less economical, which, in turn, is projected to restrict the market growth.

Nematicides Market to Witness Unprecedented Growth in Coming Years

The report Nematicides Market by Type (Fumigants, Carbamates, Organophosphates, Bionematicides), Mode of Application (Fumigation, Drenching, Soil Dressing, Seed Treatment), Nematode Type (Root Knot, Cyst), Crop Type, Form, and Region - Global Forecast to 2025 " The global nematicides market size is estimated to be valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach a value of USD 1.6 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period. Factors such as the growing demand for biological products and increasing number of product launches catering to the requirement of crop-specific nematodes drive the growth of the market.   

Nematicides infestation is difficult to detect, is often attributed to other causes and its damage is often underestimated. Massive phase-out of active ingredients used to control nematodes such as methyl bromide and aldicarb would also drive for the adoption of new innovative control measures. Growing environmental concerns associated with the use of chemicals to control nematodes have paved way for the adoption of biological control. New farming practices such as no-tillage, and reduced tillage farming, along with increased soil degradation leading to decreased efficacy have resulted in an increase in the infesatation of nematodes. These trends are expected to increase the demand for nematicides, globally.

These factors have paved the way for the high growth rate in the bionematicides market.

By crop type, vegetables are projected to dominate the nematicides market.

The vegetables segment is projected to hold the largest market share owing to the increasing cases of infestation on vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, peas, cauliflower, and carrots, by nematode species such as root-knot, lesion, and cyst nematodes. The increasing acreage being brought under vegetable cultivation and the growing demand for organic vegetables drive the growth of this segment.

Growth Opportunities in the Feed Premix Market

The global Feed Premix Market size is estimated to be valued at USD 24.3 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach a value of USD 32.9 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is attributed to the increasing demand for meat and meat products across the globe.

COVID-19 Impact on the Feed premix:

COVID-19 impact on the feed premix is low to moderately affected.  However, the rising health concerns and fears associated with the consumption of animal meat due to the COVID-19 outbreak are projected to increase market prospects. The feed premixes aid in boosting the immunity of animals; hence, the addition of such nutritional additives in the feed will lead to an increase in demand for feed premixes. Countries across regions are coping with the impacts of COVID-19, which thus causes the feed premixes market to be projected to grow at a much lower rate in the coming years.

Restraint: Ban on antibiotics in different countries


Antibiotics have been used in feed for decades; however, in 2006, the European Union (EU) banned the use of antibiotics in feed as growth promoters, as microbes developed resistance to antibiotics, which are used to treat human and animal infections. Following the ban by the EU, the use of antibiotics declined in many countries around the globe, especially in countries such as China, India, and the US, due to their overexploitation or misuse.

Restriction on the use of antibiotics, as a growth promoter in feed, in many countries, forced companies to stop using antibiotics in feed premixes. This acts as a major restraint for manufacturers that offer antibiotic-based feed premixes.

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market during the forecast period in the global Feed premix


The key markets in the Asia Pacific region include China, India, Japan, Australia & New Zealand, Thailand, Vietnam, others, and the Rest of Asia Pacific.

The Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest share of 35.6% of the global feed premix market in 2020, in terms of value. The market in the region is driven by the presence of a large livestock population

(FAO 2016) and their growth rate. Furthermore, the region has witnessed an increase in the number of feed mills and feed production, particularly in India and Japan. This increase in the number of feed mills in the region reflects the growth in feed production. According to the Alltech Feed Survey of 2018, the region experienced a 7% increase in its feed production, from 356.5 million tons in 2012 to 381.1 million tons in 2017. The largest feed producer, China, contributes significantly to the region’s leading position, with Thailand and Indonesia being the emerging feed-producing countries, while India and Japan are demonstrating constant growth in feed production. According to the same source, among the top 20 feed companies in the world, 16 of them are based in the Asia Pacific region, which makes this a highly competitive market.
