Africa Eubiotics Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

Market Overview

The African Eubiotics Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.

The restrictions imposed by the governments such as restriction on the transportation and nationwide lockdowns to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 virus during the pandemic situation, led to the adverse effects on the industry such as manufacturing facilities remained closed, the movement of raw materials and finished goods were restricted, and the manpower became unavailable due to restrictions. These situations led to the economic loss to the various eubiotics manufacturing companies.

The rising demand for animal production owing to the increasing population and the improving standard of livings coupled with the growing health concerns over the usage of anti-biotics are the factors driving the demand for eubiotics in the region. By type, Probiotics was the largest segment , accounting for the majority of the share in 2020. Due to the increased environmental concern by animal farmers couples with the strict regulations by European Union, the market for probiotics is projected to grow in the coming years. In terms of geography, South Africa was the largest market in the region, having the majority market share of the total market in 2020. An increase in production and demand for livestock products, a rise in the population and consumption levels, and urbanization are the factors behind the rising demand for eubiotics in South Africa.​

Key Market Trends

Increasing Industrialization of Livestock

Although the livestock industry in the African countries is far behind compared to that in the developed nations such as the United States in terms of industrialization, the rate of adaptation of commercial livestock production systems in these countries has been remarkable in recent years. For instance, according to the report ‘Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050’ published by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2018, the organized poultry sector in Nigeria produces 21% of the total chicken output in the country. Similarly, in Zimbabwe, large scape producers provided 2,600-3,000 metric ton of chicken per month to the organized market. Thus, the significant contribution of the organized sector in the livestock production in these countries implies the rising industrialization of the livestock industry in the region. Eubiotics play an important role by escalating the growth of animals using many additives. Usage of various eubiotics, like probiotics, has played a decisive role in the development of intensive and industrialized livestock production during the recent decade. Eubiotics have gained popularity as cost-effective solution for better and timely growth of animals and livestock. Lower production cost in the case of animal rearing leads to lower market prices and a more plentiful supply of food commodities. The use of eubiotics gives the ability to control and manipulate production to the level of human food demand. Thus, the rising industrialization in the livestock production in the region is anticipated to drive the eubiotics market during the forecast period.
