What Is Covered Under Animal Growth Promoters And Performance Enhancers Market?

Animal growth promoters and performance enhancers refer to the substances that are added to feeds as supplements or injections to increase feed utilization and growth in farm animals, as well as veterinary medicinal products that are administered to healthy animals in order to favourably influence the yield, quality, and/or growth of animal products. The main types of animal growth promoters and performance enhancers are antibiotic growth promoters and non-antibiotic growth promoters. Antibiotic growth promoters refer to the promoters that will enhance the health of the animal and increase productivity. These include natural chemicals such as microbial products, prebiotics, and probiotics, yeast products, enzymes and herbs, oils, and spices. The different types of animals that use animal growth promoters and performance enhancers include poultry, swine, livestock, aquaculture, and other animals.

What Are The Drivers Of The Animal Growth Promoters And Performance Enhancers Market?

The growing demand for meat is expected to propel the growth of the animal growth promoters and performance enhancers market going forward. Meat demand refers to the consumer and industrial need for animal protein products derived from livestock such as poultry, cattle, and swine. The rising demand for meat is largely driven by population growth and increasing per capita income in developing nations, as higher disposable incomes enable greater consumption of protein-rich foods and shift dietary preferences toward meat-based products. The growing demand for meat boosts the need for growth promoters and performance enhancers as livestock producers seek to improve feed conversion efficiency and accelerate animal growth rates to meet rising protein requirements. For instance, in July 2024, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a US-based federal executive department, in 2025, per capita beef disappearance is projected to decline to 56.3 pounds, down from 58.2 pounds in 2024. Per capita pork disappearance is also expected to decrease slightly in 2025 after rising to 51 pounds in 2024. Broilers continue to account for the largest share of per capita meat disappearance, with consumption projected to increase from 101.3 pounds in 2024 to 102.0 pounds in 2025. Therefore, the growing demand for meat is driving the growth of the animal growth promoters and performance enhancers industry. The increasing demand for high-quality protein feeds is expected to propel the growth of animal growth promoters and performance enhancers going forward. High-quality protein feeds are feeds that are rich in protein and provide essential amino acids that are necessary for the growth and development of animals. These premium protein feeds are frequently employed as agents for promoting animal growth and enhancing performance within the livestock sector. For instance, in April 2024, according to the American Pet Products Association, a US-based trade association, provides insights and statistics about the pet care industry, in 2023, U.S. pet care expenditure reached $147 billion, with $64.4 billion spent on pet food and treats, $32 billion on supplies, live animals, and OTC medicine, $38.3 billion on vet care and product sales, and $12.3 billion on other services like boarding, grooming, and training. Therefore, the increasing demand for high-quality protein feeds is driving the growth of the animal growth promoters and performance enhancers industry.
