What are the top economic and technological drivers pushing feed acidulants market growth?
The increasing consumption of animal-based products is anticipated to propel the growth of the feed acidulants market in the coming years. Animal-based products are materials or goods derived from animals, including their meat, milk, eggs, skin, or other body parts, used for food, clothing, or various industrial purposes. Consumption of animal-based products is rising due to increasing income levels, which allow more people, especially in developing countries, to include protein-rich foods such as meat and dairy in their diets as symbols of improved living standards. The growing consumption of animal-based products supports the demand for feed acidulants, as higher livestock production necessitates improved animal health and feed efficiency, with acidulants playing a critical role in optimizing digestion and gut health. For instance, in January 2025, according to the Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal executive department, the poultry industry’s overall sales in 2022 were $76.9 billion, a 67% increase over 2021. Within the sector, sales of eggs increased significantly by 122%, broiler sales increased by 60%, and turkey sales increased by 21%. Therefore, the increasing consumption of animal-based products will drive the growth of the feed acidulants market.

What are the most notable trends influencing investment in the feed acidulants sector?
Major companies operating in the feed acidulants market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as feed pathogen control solutions, to enhance feed efficiency and improve digestion. Feed pathogen control solutions are specialized interventions used in animal feed to inhibit or destroy harmful pathogens, thereby promoting feed hygiene and protecting livestock health. For instance, in March 2025, Kemin Industries, a US-based biotechnology company, launched PROSIDIUM, a feed pathogen control solution. It is an innovative feed pathogen control solution developed through extensive research and designed to help raw material and animal feed producers ensure the safety of animal feed. Based on powerful peroxy acids, it effectively disrupts the cell membrane of pathogens, reducing the risk of salmonella and viral transmission in animal feed. The residual acids provide continued protection, maintaining feed safety. This patent-pending solution not only mitigates pathogen risks but also elevates industry standards, promoting improved biosecurity, healthier livestock, and safer animal protein production.
