The increase in consumer awareness and acceptance, regarding the convenience of meat products has created the demand for quality feed and in turn, drives the market. Feed enzyme is gaining importance for their role in meat quality improvement and improving nutritional value. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in Russia, poultry meat consumption is recorded to be highest. In 2016 poultry meat consumption was 29.5 Kg and I has increased to 31.7 Kg in 2019. Considering the growing meat consumption trend, a need for increasing meat production will create demand for feed additives and in turn, drives the market for feed enzymes.

Carbohydrase increases the digestibility of animal feed, leading to higher intakes of feed. This may thus increase the amount of energy that an animal can use to develop and grow muscles. In cereals, 80% of the dry matter is constituted by starch. Thus, the carbohydrase enzyme will enhance the digestibility of the animals. This is driving the market growth for the feed enzymes.
