India Compound Feed Market Analysis

The India Compound Feed Market size is estimated at USD 28.89 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 38.85 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The Indian compound feed market plays a critical role in supporting the country's livestock sector, which includes poultry, cattle, aquaculture, and swine. The market has experienced substantial growth, driven by increasing demand for animal-based products such as meat, eggs, and dairy. India is a global leader in livestock production, ranking first in milk and buffalo meat production, second in goat meat, and third in poultry. According to FAOSTAT data from 2023, India's livestock population includes 194.4 million cattle, 112.0 million buffaloes, 154.2 million goats, and over 878.5 million poultry, demonstrating the significant demand for quality animal feed.

Corn and soybean meal are the primary components in the Indian compound feed market, complemented by coarse grains and oilseed meals. In the dairy sector, small-scale farmers predominantly use farm-made feed mixes, particularly for lactating cows and female buffaloes, reflecting the traditional nature of dairy operations in India.

Market growth is driven by increasing income levels, changing demographics, and growing awareness of livestock nutrition in both rural and urban areas. Government initiatives strengthen the sector's development. For instance, in September 2024, the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) organized a training program in Bengaluru on advanced feeding techniques and farm management. This initiative focused on improving livestock productivity and encouraging inter-institutional collaboration to support farmers.

The Indian compound feed market continues to expand, supported by its vast livestock population, increasing demand for animal products, and emphasis on enhancing animal nutrition through advanced feeding practices.
