Under oilseed meals, the market from soymeal sub-segment is slated to depict over 9.8% CAGR through 2032, backed by the growing inclination towards genetically modified (GM) crops due to high yields and improved quality for livestock and fish feeds. In May 2022, the Indian government approved the import of around 0.55 million tons of GM soymeal. Furthermore, as soybean harvesting is concentrated in some regions, particularly those with uncertain weather conditions, key countries such as China are focusing on improving their domestic yields to reduce their reliance on imports.
In terms of livestock, the animal feed protein ingredients market from the poultry segment will be achieved approximately USD 243.2 billion with 9.5% CAGR during the forecast timeline. Over the last two decades, poultry has emerged as the world's most consumed livestock product, particularly in developing and emerging nations where production possibilities are limited. Many countries have increased domestic poultry production to fulfill expanding demand while the U.S., Brazil, EU, and Thailand have become prominent poultry exporters contributing to the rising requirement for protein-rich animal feed and fueling the market revenue.
Under livestock, the broiler sub-segment is expected to cross USD 155.3 billion by 2032. Broiler production requires less capital investment and has a shorter production life cycle than other meat-producing animals, which is bolstering profitability and facilitating the global expansion of commercial broiler farming. The high need for protein among broilers to improve performance and output is likely to significantly contribute to market expansion.
Asia Pacific animal feed protein ingredients market is forecast to exceed a valuation of USD 209 billion by 2032, owing to the high regional population, rising incomes, and changing diets, which are propelling livestock production. To cite an instance, the Indian government is promoting the livestock and poultry sectors’ expansion through several favorable policies to raise farmers' earnings and increase off-farm employment. Similarly, in December 2022, the Asian Development Bank approved a USD 62.9 million package to assist Cambodia in strengthening its food security and promoting inclusive economic growth by boosting animal healthcare and value chains.
