The market experiences high competition with well-established and long-term operating players enjoying major market share. Companies are heavily investing in R&D activities to develop sustainable technologies for manufacturing cost-effective and affordable products. The lack of an adequate number of players in several countries specifically in the Middle East opens ample opportunities for new players to enter and gain a strong foothold in the market.

Eubiotics are manufactured and are distributed either through feed mills, pre-mixers, or specific distributors. The companies involved in manufacturing eubiotics either sell their products directly to their consumers or sell them to integrated feed producers. Either way, the eubiotic products reach the livestock producers. Eubiotics, such as organic acids, are manufactured by processes such as fermentation and chemical synthesis. Mostly, the chemical synthesis process is preferred for animal feed applications such as silage and feed additives.

Eubiotics prices are majorly influenced by raw material availability, agro-climatic conditions, regional jurisdictions, etc. The manufacturers compete based on competitive pricing owing to the presence of price-sensitive buyers. The manufacturers are focused on process innovation and low-cost raw material procurement to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Furthermore, the fast growth of end-use applications such as feed, and pharmaceutical among others along with increasing production of eubiotics which is inclined to bridge the gap between supply and demand is further projected to moderately increase the prices over the forecast period.

Eubiotic products such as prebiotics, and probiotics are an important part of the value chain of the nutraceuticals industry. Developing economies, including India and China, are well-positioned in the market, owing to technological advancement, low-cost labor, and abundant availability of raw materials due to upscale production. Key players in developing economies are, thus, creating an optimized process and a robust supply chain for cost-effective product manufacturing, thereby offering products at comparatively lower prices.

Product Insights

Probiotics products dominated the market with a high revenue share of over 39% in 2021. This is attributed to the rising awareness regarding the usage of probiotics in animal feed, ongoing R&D activities to develop efficient products, and broad product offerings by major industry participants. Also, the multiple usages in animal applications such as immunity development and gut health maintenance is expected to have a positive impact on the market demand.

Furthermore, organic acids were the second dominant product type in the global markets. These acids are used as forage and grain preservatives in animal nutrition. They discourage the growth of bacterial as well as mold pathogens, thus contributing to better utilization of feed resources. They can be used for applications such as pigs, aquaculture, and poultry. Organic acids prove to be an effective solution in addressing feed quality and hygiene issues. All these attributes are expected to drive the organic acids segment growth over the forecast period.

Additionally, Propionic acid witnessed high growth in demand and consumption among other organic acids. Most of the propionic acid produced is used as a preservative for both food for human consumption and animal feed and is most effectively used as a feed additive as well as growth promoter in food animals, especially in poultry and pig.

Form Insights

Solid form dominated the eubiotics market with a revenue share of more than 60% in 2021. This high share is attributed to its advantages like enhanced protection against exposure to light and moisture. Solid forms include flakes, beadlet, and cross-linked beadlet. The use of beadlet technology reliably protects the active ingredients from mechanical as well as heat stress, to make them more stable and bioavailable in feed production.

The liquid form is gaining popularity among the feed formulators as it contributes to good health and enhanced performance of the animals at a greater rate as compared to solid forms as well as exhibits a lower price. In addition, the liquid form of these feed additives is being preferred owing to their ability to reduce enteric pathogens and gastric pH, and their cost-effectiveness.

Application Insights

Gut health applications dominated the market with a high revenue share of more than 35% in 2021. Its high share is attributable to the prevalence of gut health issues among animals along with an increasing inclination towards preventive health care. Eubiotic products help to aggregate the production of microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal, thereby enhancing digestion and the immune system. Products such as probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, and essential oils among others are effective for gut integrity. These products can be used individually as well as in combination to achieve better results.

Eubiotics are used to boost performance as well as health status improvement in domesticated animals. The efficacy of the product is mainly dependent on the antimicrobial effects as well as their ability to alter the gut flora. Gut health enhancers include fructo-oligosaccharide, beta-glucan, probiotics, mannan-oligosaccharide, and prebiotics.

Eubiotics help in improving the immune system in animals. The immune system accounts for a relatively minor portion of total nutritional requirements in the animal, however, its activation is a major challenge and has a significant impact on nutritional status. Lower immunity levels may often make animals vulnerable to infections and diseases including parasitic, viral, and bacterial which ultimately may result in death. Hence it is essential to enhance as well as develop the immunity levels especially in growing as well as newborn animals.

End-Use Insights

The poultry segment dominated the market with a high revenue share of over 37% in 2021. Its high share is attributable to increasing demand and consumption of chicken, turkey, duck as well as boilers worldwide. Among these, chicken meat is widely consumed due to its low price as compared to others, low-fat content, and less religious & cultural barriers associated with its consumption.

The increasing consumption of pork has forced the producers to produce disease-free, high-quality meat products for human consumption. As a result, there is an increase in demand for feed additives. Eubiotic ingredients are normally used as additives in swine feed or included in dietary supplement formulations to enhance gut health, ensure proper growth, and improve  reproductive health of animals. In addition, these ingredients improve animal health and reduce the mortality rate of animals.

The demand for eubiotics in cattle feed is anticipated to rise on account of augmented demand for meat and dairy products. Rising demand for dairy products such as cheese, milk, and butter among others has generated the need for improved efficiency of large-scale dairy farms and the use of high-quality nutritive feed. Inclusion of eubiotic ingredients in bovine feed results in enhanced productivity and higher milk production ability. Rising consumption of dairy products coupled with beef consumption is expected to drive the demand for animal feed, which, in turn, is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Regional Insights

Europe dominated the global market with a high revenue share of over 43% in 2021. This is attributed to the increasing consumption of processed food in the form of meat along with increasing livestock production. Countries such as Italy, France, and Germany have observed a sharp increase in meat consumption over the past few years, which has propelled producers to source high-quality and disease-free animal products.

In the region of North America, there can be seen a significant increase in the product demand due to rising demand for animal products and the rapidly flourishing animal feed industry. The rising consumption of meat and meat products in the countries like Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. has led to increased awareness regarding animal health, which, in turn, has strengthened the consumption of animal feed products.

Asia Pacific is one of the fastest emerging markets globally. Growing consumption of meat and meat products has given rise to the need to focus on animal health as well as their hygiene, which, in turn, has initiated the demand for feed additives. Rising beef and pork consumption in Japan, China, India, and South Korea is one of the major factors driving the demand for animal feed and additives in the region.
