The organic feed market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.45% to reach a market size of US$9.983 billion in 2027 from US$5.658 billion in 2020.

The increasing focus among the market players to improve the product quality to meet the rising demand for poultry and meat products boost the organic feed market.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the consumption of meat and poultry products in the regions like the Middle East and African regions and the Asia Pacific region. As the disposable income of the individuals is increasing, they are demanding better quality produce. This is encouraging the livestock owners to opt for more nutritional and organic feed for their animals to maintain their overall health and is thereby leading to a surge in demand for organic feed and fuelling the market growth over the forecast period.

Different varieties of organic feed are available by the market players with additives and new formulations to boost the health of different livestock and improve product quality.

The market players are increasingly involved in offering different varieties of organic animal feed to effectively cater to the different and rising concerns among the livestock owners, such as improving the productivity of the livestock, improving the health of the animals, protecting them from infections among others by preferring the products that containing antibiotics, additives and enzymes. For example, ADM Animal Nutrition offers “Fortress Certified organic Dairy Materials,” specially designed and developed for dairy cows, which produce milk and are made using organic products and are certified with organic manufacturing certification. This way, they can provide the dairy cows with optimum nutrition, aiding them in maintaining the desired levels of production, reproduction, and health and increasing the profits for the producers. The product line consists of three products called “Fortress Organic Lactation Mineral PL´, which is for lactating cows. “Fortress Organic Dry Cow Mineral PL” for the dry cows and “Fortress™ Organic Heifer Mineral” for the needs of the dairy heifers.

The presence of stringent produce quality restrictions, which the market players have to strictly and must adhere to avoid the imposition of penalties

The prevalence of common flu diseases such as H5N1 (bird flu) and avian influenza that are spreading due to the unhealthy and livestock ridden with bacterial disease and birds are putting the consumers at risk of infection, and this is turning into an epidemic like in the year 2003-2009 when a total of 161 human cases of influenza were registered from the Western Pacific Region out of which 112 cases were from Vietnam, and 38 cases in China. This has now increased to a total of 238 cases as of March 26, 2020, according to the World Health Organization, which has prompted livestock owners to opt for top-quality organic feed products to combat this risk and also to adhere to regulations by the FDA and the certifications such as the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). Thus, this leads to a further increase in market growth.

The launches of better-equipped and new and enhanced varieties of organic feed to cater to the increased cases of serious diseases and rare diseases by existing and new players in different markets is expected to propel the growth of this market in the forecast period.

 Some of the examples of the product offerings are as follows:

• In October 2019, Avril, of the leading companies involved in agribusiness and based in France, announced that it had entered into a partnership agreement with Terreana, of the companies involved in the farming business. This agreement was to launch their joint venture called the “Oleosyn Bio:” to produce an organic meal for layer and broiler production. The feed will be made using 100% pure French rapeseed and sunflower seeds, and even soybean in some cases. In addition, the joint venture will be fully operational by the end of next year, according to the announcement, and the production unit will be based in Thouars, Brittany. It will have the capacity to effectively crush 30,000 tonnes of oilseeds (rapeseed and sunflower seeds mainly) per year.
• In March 2019, BernAqua, one of the companies that deal in the provision of feed for aquaculture, mainly for fish and shrimp, announced that they had received the Naturland Organic Certification for their fish and shrimp feed that they produced in 2018 under the certification number (EC) 8334/2007 and (EC) 889/2008. After this certification, BernAqua has become one of the key players in the organic segment in producing fish and shrimp feeds that is increasingly suitable for use in organic hatcheries.

The Asia Pacific region holds a considerable share over the forecast period and increases investments in the agricultural and livestock industry, and North America shows notable growth.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to hold a considerable market share over the forecast period since there are increasing investments in the agricultural and livestock industry to accelerate the development of these sectors further. In addition, the increasingly concerned farmers, to improve the health of their livestock, use plant-based or organic animal feed. Moreover, countries such as India are among the largest exporters of cattle meat in the world, which makes them, take exceptional care of the meat quality to meet the burgeoning demand from different cattle meat-consuming countries.

Moreover, the North American region is expected to show notable growth over the forecast period since there are increasing efforts by the market players to offer better organic products to livestock owners and to improve and enhance the products by investing the R&D activities.

Poultry and Meat to increase their share over the forecast period.

Poultry and meat are expected to hold a considerable share and increase their share over the forecast period, which is attributable to the fact that the consumption of poultry meat is increasing because it is the most widely consumed type of animal-based food. In addition, more individuals in the lower and middle-income populations can afford it due to the increase in their disposable incomes. In addition, according to the OECD data, the world consumption of poultry meat stood at 27.8 kilograms per capita in 2018.  Thus, the demand for organic feed is increasing among livestock owners.

COVID-19 Impact on Organic Feed Market

The organic feed industry was initially predicted to witness strong demand in 2020, primarily on the expectation of the recovery from the African Swine Fever (ASF), with strong and lucrative growth originally projected for China, one of the largest swine meat producers and consumers in the world. However, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed the economic landscape as the global economy plummeted in 2020. The lockdown condition imposed by the government to contain the spread of the virus significantly reduced meat consumption which translated into lower production, and hence the lower feed demand. The estimated improvement in the swine sector in 2020 did not offset the deficit demand for feeds in the poultry and cattle industry. However, the re-opening of the economic activities is expected to drive the demand, for instance, ForFarmers debuted its new line of organic layer feeds in June 2020 with its new line of organic feeds, and revolutionized the organic layer diets.
