India Feed Enzymes Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

The India feed enzymes market size stands at USD 42.70 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 54.01 million by 2030, advancing at a 4.81% CAGR during the forecast period. Growth is propelled by the national phase-out of antibiotic growth promoters, the BioE3 bio-manufacturing policy, and a sustained rise in commercial poultry output. Intensifying demand for nutrient efficiency under volatile grain prices, rapid feed-mill modernization in southern states, and rising export-oriented aquaculture further accelerate adoption. Liquid formulations gain favor because they minimize dosing error in mash feeds, while thermostable variants defend enzymatic activity against India’s heat-humidity supply chains. Competitive dynamics are reshaping after Novonesis acquired DSM-Firmenich’s alliance stake. 

Key Report Takeaways

By sub-additive, Carbohydrases led with 44.8% of the India feed enzymes market share in 2024, and Carbohydrases are forecast to expand at a 5.4% CAGR through 2030.

By animal, poultry held 66.2% revenue share in 2024, and poultry is advancing at a 4.9% CAGR to 2030.

Segment Analysis

By Sub-Additive: Carbohydrases momentum reshapes category balance

Carbohydrases dominate the Indian feed enzymes market, holding approximately 44.8% market share in 2024. This segment's prominence is primarily attributed to the higher consumption and requirement for carbohydrates by all animal types for proper digestion. The segment is also experiencing the fastest growth trajectory, projected to grow at 5.4% CAGR through 2030, driven by its crucial role in improving feed efficiency and reducing costs. 

Carbohydrases are particularly vital in the poultry sector, where they help break down non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) in cereal grains, enhancing nutrient absorption and digestibility. The segment's strong performance is further supported by its ability to improve the digestibility of nutrients by enhancing gut performance across various animal species, including poultry, ruminants, and aquaculture. The increasing awareness among farmers about the benefits of carbohydrases in animal feed and their role in improving feed conversion ratios has also contributed to their market dominance.

By Animal: Poultry dominance the market

The poultry segment holds a 66.2% market share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% through 2030. This dominance stems from the poultry industry's widespread adoption of feed additives and well-developed infrastructure for enzyme integration. Broiler segments drive the majority of enzyme consumption through intensive production systems that prioritize feed conversion efficiency and growth rate optimization. Layer operations contribute substantially through phytase applications targeting shell quality and phosphorus utilization efficiency. 

Poultry integrators, despite maturity, continue upselling toward dual-enzyme packages combining phytase and carbohydrase, defending their dominant consumption share while new species expand the market. The regulatory influence of aquaculture export requirements creates additional demand for enzyme-supplemented feeds that meet international quality standards for processed seafood products.

Geography Analysis

India's feed enzyme market demonstrates concentrated growth patterns aligned with commercial livestock production clusters and organized feed manufacturing infrastructure. Southern states, particularly Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana, lead market development through intensive poultry integration operations that prioritize feed conversion efficiency over traditional cost-minimization approaches. These regions benefit from established technical support networks and proximity to major enzyme suppliers' distribution centers, facilitating the adoption of advanced feed additive technologies. The concentration of organized feed mills in these areas creates economies of scale that justify enzyme inclusion rates previously considered uneconomical for smaller operations.

Northern and western regions, including Punjab, Haryana, and Maharashtra, represent emerging growth opportunities driven by expanding dairy operations and increasing commercial poultry development. These areas demonstrate growing receptivity to enzyme applications as feed grain costs intensify and regulatory pressure mounts to eliminate antibiotic growth promoters. The regions benefit from proximity to grain production areas, creating logistics advantages for feed manufacturers willing to invest in enzyme-enhanced formulations. The prevalence of smallholder operations in these regions creates adoption challenges related to price sensitivity and limited technical support infrastructure.

Eastern states, particularly West Bengal and Bihar, remain underserved markets despite significant livestock populations due to fragmented production systems and limited organized feed manufacturing capacity. The regions demonstrate potential for enzyme adoption as commercial livestock operations expand and feed quality standards improve. Government initiatives promoting livestock sector modernization create opportunities for enzyme suppliers willing to invest in technical support infrastructure and farmer education programs. The BioE3 policy framework's emphasis on bio-manufacturing development accelerates enzyme production capacity in these regions, reducing supply chain costs and improving market access for local producers.

Competitive Landscape

The India feed enzymes market exhibits moderate concentration, with top players including Adisseo, Novonesis A/S (DSM-Firmenich), Archer Daniels Midland Co., Brenntag SE, and Kerry Group Plc. Maintaining dominant positions through technical expertise, regulatory compliance capabilities, and comprehensive product portfolios. Market leadership strategies emphasize multi-enzyme solutions that address diverse nutritional challenges in single formulations, reducing complexity for feed manufacturers while maximizing additive value per inclusion rate. 

Technology deployment focuses on thermostable enzyme variants specifically engineered for tropical processing conditions and liquid formulation systems that improve dosing precision in small-scale operations. Emerging competitive dynamics reflect the February 2025 acquisition of DSM-Firmenich's Feed Enzyme Alliance by Novonesis for EUR 1.5 billion (USD 1.62 billion), creating new market consolidation pressures and opportunities for domestic players to capture market share through localized production and specialized technical support[3]Source: Pet Food Processing, “Novonesis Acquires DSM-Firmenich Feed Enzyme Alliance,” PETFOODPROCESSING.NET . Domestic manufacturers like Advanced Enzyme Technologies and Rossari Biotech leverage cost-competitive fermentation capacity and agricultural residue substrate availability to challenge international suppliers in price-sensitive market segments. 

Opportunities exist in specialized applications for aquaculture feeds, organic livestock production, and enzyme cocktails optimized for locally sourced feed ingredients like rice bran and distillers dried grains. The PLI bio-manufacturing scheme creates strategic advantages for companies investing in domestic enzyme production capacity, potentially reshaping competitive dynamics through import substitution and localized technical support capabilities.

Feed antioxidants​ They are used to protect the deterioration of other feed nutrients in the feed such as fats, vitamins, pigments, and flavoring agents, thus providing nutrient security to the animals.​
Feed phytogenics​ Phytogenics are natural substances, added to livestock feed to promote growth, aid in digestion, and act as anti-microbial agents.​
Feed vitamins​ They are used to maintain the normal physiological function and normal growth and development of animals.​
Feed flavors and sweetners​ These flavors and sweeteners help to mask tastes and odors during changes in additives or medications and make them ideal for animal diets undergoing transition.​
Feed acidifiers​ Animal feed acidifiers are organic acids incorporated into the feed for nutritional or preservative purposes. Acidifiers enhance congestion and microbiological balance in the alimentary and digestive tracts of livestock.​
Feed minerals​ Feed minerals play an important role in the regular dietary requirements of animal feed.​
