There has been a significant increase in demand for poultry meat and other byproducts across the globe. People are therefore engaging in animal rearing and animal husbandry to fulfil this global demand.  The most effective way to achieve the highest production is to supply these birds with trace minerals, such as zinc, copper, and manganese, to increase their performance, which has led to an increase in demand for trace minerals.  Trace minerals are indispensable components in poultry diets. They are required for the growth, bone and feather development, and enzyme structure. The immune functions of all poultry species depend on trace minerals. This drives the growth of trace minerals in feed market across the globe.  

Amino acids, by chelate type, is estimated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period

Amino acids are considered an ideal chelator due to their ability to be easily absorbed in the animal body. This is due to the attachment of amino acids to the mineral molecules that create a more stable structure, which helps the minerals survive in the acidic environment of the stomach. Furthermore, trace minerals are protected from various bacteria present in the body of animals, and enzymes are unable to degrade it. It also inhibits the antagonistic action between metal ions and decreases the breaking down of vitamins in the feed. This is due to their ability to be easily absorbed in the body for the normal functioning of protein synthesis. This increases the absorption of minerals directly in the intestinal wall, along with amino acid ligands, to which they are bonded.

Dry, by form, is estimated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period

The dry segment accounted for the largest share in 2019, as trace mineral products in the dry form enable the hygienic supply of these ingredients, and the feeding system is comparatively easy to manage. Furthermore, the ease of mixing dry form of trace minerals into the total feed, relative cost-effectiveness as compared to the liquid form, and its long shelf life are some of the other key factors encouraging its use in dry form. Trace minerals are mostly available in the dry form, as they are easy to mix with feed products in the appropriate quantity. For instance, the powdered copper and zinc could be mixed in the ratio of a billion parts of copper or just one part of zinc. Additionally, other minerals and trace minerals in powdered form could be mixed in similar ratios, without causing a reaction. Furthermore, chelated trace minerals in the dry form find application in various livestock. In addition, when mixed with dry feed, they are often absorbed more efficiently by the body, if supplied rather than used as supplements.
