Driver: Rapid growth of commercial poultry, pork, and aquaculture
Commercial poultry, pork, and fish farming is growing fast across the Asia Pacific region. With farmers focusing on improving animal growth and health, the demand for feed additives will grow.
Restraint: Volatile raw material prices for feed additives
Feed additive producers depend on raw materials such as grains, minerals, and chemicals. Prices of these inputs change often due to supply and cost issues. This creates pressure on margins and makes pricing less stable.
Opportunity: Shift toward natural growth promoters
Many countries are reducing the use of antibiotic growth promoters. Farmers are looking for natural options like probiotics, enzymes, and plant-based additives. This creates new demand for natural and functional feed additives.
Challenge: Quality control of genetic feed additive products manufactured by Asian companies
Some feed additive products need strict quality and consistency control. Differences in manufacturing standards across Asian suppliers can affect product trust. Companies must invest more in testing and compliance to meet market needs.

Market Definition
According to the European Food Safety Authority, “Feed additives are products used in animal nutrition to achieve an effect on the feed itself, on the animals, on food products obtained from the animals consuming the feed additive, or on the environment. For instance, feed additives are used to enhance flavor of feed, to meet the need for certain nutrients, or to increase the performance of animals in good health. They are used in feed for food-producing animals and in pet food.”
According to the European Commission, “Feed additives are defined as products used in animal nutrition for the purpose of improving the quality of feed and the quality of food from animal origin, or to improve the animals’ performance and health, e.g., providing enhanced digestibility of the feed materials. Feed additives may not be put on the market unless authorization has been given, following a scientific evaluation demonstrating that the additive has no harmful effects on human and animal health and the environment.”
