Forage Feeds Market Analysis
The forage feed market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027). The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the working of several markets, including the forage feed market. The pandemic affected the manufacturing process and supply chain networks, resulting in major losses for alfalfa hay-producing companies and farmers as well. In China, the pandemic has caused a higher impact on livestock farming due to the limited access to feed and shortage of labor.
Over the medium term, the forage feed market would achieve healthy growth, as the demand for forage increases. Forage feed will witness substantial growth due to shrinkage of grazing land and consumer preference for organic animal feed. Forage feed provides nutrition to livestock. Driven by urbanization, increasing wealth, and population growth, the demand for fodder feeds in developing countries are growing rapidly. Livestock is one of the fastest-growing sectors in agriculture, presenting potential opportunities in the global market.
North America and Europe lead the global forage feed market presently. Both the regions combined account for a significant portion of the market. It is expected to continue due to the increase in the area harvested under forage cultivation in those regions. The forage market in Asia-Pacific is expanding, owing to the rise in the demand for dairy and dairy products and the increased meat consumption in the region. India and China are major countries in the forage market in this region.
