United States Animal Feed Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Fodder, Forage, Compound Feed), By Livestock (Swine, Aquatic Animals, Cattle, Poultry, Others), By Raw Materials (Soya, Corn, Rendered Meal, Others), And By Production Systems (Integrated, Commercial Mills) - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

United States Animal Feed Market Size:

The United States Animal Feed market will grow at a CAGR of 5.97% from USD 63.351 billion in 2025 to USD 84.672 billion in 2030.

United States Animal Feed Market Trends:

The United States harbours one of the major animal feed markets globally, and over the years, with the growing animal protein demand, feed production has witnessed positive growth. According to the American Feed Industry Association, the United States has more than 5,800 animal food production facilities that hold an annual production capacity of 284 million tons of finished feed as well as pet food.

Moreover, as per data from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), livestock and poultry account for more than half of US agricultural cash receipts, often exceeding a sum of $100 billion per year.

According to the UN FAO(Food and Agriculture Organization), global food production will increase by more than 60% by 2050, and in sync with it, animal-based protein production is also expected to show significant growth. Also, according to the FAO, between the time 2020 and 2050, this rise will be around 1.7 percent annually. This factor is thus projected to show an effect in the region of the US as well.

United States Animal Feed Market Growth Drivers:

• Rising livestock product demand stimulates market growth.

It is expected that the market growth for livestock as well as livestock products, like meat, dairy, and eggs, has helped in fueling the expansion of the US animal feed market. Major market players, namely Cargill, BASF, Archer Daniels Midland, and Alltech, are emphasizing providing comprehensive feed offerings that fulfill necessary requirements of livestock farmers in the United States. For instance, BASF’s “Diamond V”, “EWOS”, “Nutrena”, “Provimi”, and “Purina” deliver solutions covering various species such as beef, swine, dairy, poultry, and aquaculture.

Chicken meat production in the United States is also experiencing positive growth, which is further acting as an additional driving factor. For instance, according to the USDA, till April 2024, chicken meat production stood at 21,395 million tons, which signified a 1.5% increase over 2023’s production scale.

• Booming meat production is projected to drive the market growth.

Animal protein provides various health benefits, such as lowering the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and pancreatic and prostate cancer. With growing health awareness and investment in self-care activities, the demand for meat products, which constitutes a major part of nutritious diets, is also expected to increase, thereby increasing the United States' overall meat production volume.

For instance, meat production is projected to rise by almost 70%, seafood products by about 90%, and dairy products by approximately 55%. The IFIF further predicted that poultry, pig, and beef production will almost double by 2050, while dairy and fish production will triple. As feed accounts for major raw materials in animal diets, the substantial increase in their production will mark a simultaneous increase in overall market growth.

Additionally, the adoption of new approaches to further enhance meat quality and improve overall livestock health will further propel the overall market expansion. 

United States Animal Feed Market Key Developments:

• In June 2023: Evonik Industries launched a new formulation of its “Biolys” product, which contains valuable components such as lysin. The product serves as an energy component in livestock feed, especially for poultry and swine.
• In March 2023: International Flavors & Fragrances launched the feed solution “Axtra® PRIME” for piglets in the United States. It contains a mixture of beta-glucanase, alpha-amylase, and beta-glucanase, and alpha-amylase, which enable swine to tackle digestibility challenges at an early age.
• In January 2023: Cargill and BASF announced the extension of their partnership and added the US to their feed enzymes development & distribution agreement so as to increase the access of US-based animal feed customers to the company’s animal nutrition product offerings.
