Asia-Pacific Feed Premix Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence
The Asia-Pacific Feed Premix Market size is estimated at USD 4.40 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 6.60 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
The Asia Pacific feed premix market involves the blending of essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other additives) into animal feed to ensure optimal growth, health, and productivity of livestock and poultry. This market is vital in the agricultural and animal husbandry sectors, catering to the increasing demand for high-quality and nutritious animal products. Countries like China, India, Japan, and Australia are major players in this market, with rapid growth attributed to rising meat consumption, evolving agricultural practices, and growing awareness of animal health.
As disposable incomes increase and urbanization accelerates in Asia Pacific, the demand for meat and other animal-based products is growing. This surge in consumption has heightened the need for efficient and high-quality feed, which drives the demand for feed premixes. In China, the world’s largest consumer of pork, the increasing demand for high-quality pork has led to higher use of specialized feed premixes to enhance the quality and growth rate of livestock. For instance, according to the OECD, China's pork meat consumption was 55,546.4 thousand metric tons in 2022, which increased by 56,290.0 thousand metric tons in 2023.
With the adoption of modern farming techniques, farmers are focusing more on optimizing animal nutrition. Feed premixes help improve feed efficiency, ensuring animals grow faster and healthier. In India, poultry farms use customized feed premixes to ensure faster growth of broilers and higher egg production from hens. For instance, according to FAOSTAT, in 2022, hen egg production in India was 7,611,456 metric tons, which decreased by 7,853,223 metric tons in 2023.
Asia-Pacific Feed Premix Market Trends and Insights
Poultry is the Significant Segment by Animal Type
The poultry segment dominates the Asia Pacific feed premix market, driven by the rising consumption of poultry meat and eggs. This growth is attributed to increased disposable incomes, population expansion, urbanization, and consumer preference for cost-effective protein sources. Chicken meat remains a fundamental animal protein source across the Asia Pacific region, with demand strengthened by the expanding middle class and urban population. China and India, with their substantial populations, are key contributors to market growth through high poultry consumption. In India, the rise in chicken meat production has increased the demand for poultry feed premixes to enhance bird growth and health. According to FAOSTAT, India's poultry meat production grew from 4.65 million metric tons in 2021 to 5.05 million metric tons in 2023.
The poultry farming industry continues to industrialize, emphasizing improved feed conversion ratios (FCR) and uniform meat and egg production. Feed premixes deliver essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and nutrients to enhance poultry health, growth rates, and egg production. Large poultry operations in Indonesia and Thailand demonstrate how specialized feed premixes contribute to increased growth rates in broilers and higher egg yields in layers, resulting in enhanced production efficiency. For instance, according to FAOSTAT, in 2020 egg production in China was 35,129.69 thousand metric tons, which decreased by 35,015.97 thousand metric tons in 2022.
China Dominates the Market
China is indeed the dominant player in the Asia Pacific feed premix market, largely due to its position as both the largest consumer and producer of animal-based products in the region. The country’s rapid industrialization, increasing demand for meat and dairy, and the shift towards more sophisticated animal farming practices have all contributed to China’s leading role in the feed premix sector. For instance, according to FAOSTAT, swine meat production in China was 56.3 million metric tons in 2022, which increased by 58.9 million metric tons in 2023.
Over the past few decades, China has transitioned from small-scale, traditional farming to large-scale, industrialized animal husbandry. This transition has increased the demand for high-quality feed premixes that are essential for optimized feed conversion and sustainable production practices. In China’s poultry and pig farming sectors, the use of specialized feed premixes is helping producers achieve higher growth rates, better feed utilization, and improved overall animal health, especially as farming becomes more intensive.
China is home to a vast number of feed manufacturers, making it the largest producer of animal feed in the Asia Pacific region. Many of these companies also produce specialized feed premixes tailored to the unique needs of China’s diverse livestock industry. Leading Chinese feed manufacturers like New Hope Group and COFCO Corporation are not only producing bulk animal feed but are also investing heavily in research and development of advanced feed premixes to meet the growing needs of the livestock sector.
