North America Feed Pelletizing Agent Market Analysis

The North America Feed Pelletizing Agent Market size is estimated at USD 734.40 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 880.70 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.70% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The North American feed pelletizing agent market enhances animal feed's efficiency and nutritional value to meet the region's increasing demand for high-quality animal products. The market growth stems from increased production and consumption of animal products, including meat, milk, and eggs. Population growth and shifting dietary preferences toward protein-rich foods have increased the need for efficient feed solutions to improve animal health and productivity. According to the ITC Trade map, the import of bovine animal meat increased from 613.8 thousand metric tons in 2022 to 629.1 thousand metric tons in 2023 in the United States. This trend extends to Canada and Mexico, where higher consumption necessitates improved meat quantity and quality, increasing the demand for enhanced feed intake in livestock. Feed pelletizing agents improve feed conversion rates and minimize feed wastage, making them essential in modern farming operations.

The United States, Canada, and Mexico comprise the market, with the United States dominating due to its advanced livestock farming practices, consumer demand for animal products, and agricultural productivity focus. USDA data indicates United States per capita poultry meat consumption increased from 52.3 kg in 2022 to 53.0 kg in 2023. The need to meet meat consumption demands, along with feed pelletizing agents' benefits in improving animal feed intake, has driven market expansion. The growth of aquaculture operations in U.S. and Mexican coastal regions has also contributed to market growth through increased demand for specialized aquatic feed solutions.

Government initiatives through subsidies, research grants, and supportive regulations have enhanced feed pelletizing agent adoption. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has strengthened the U.S. animal food manufacturing sector by facilitating trade in feed ingredients, and feed with Canada and Mexico. This trade environment has reinforced both the animal feed market and feed pelletizing agents demand. Technological developments in feed production, including automated pellet mills and new binding agents, enable manufacturers to produce efficient, cost-effective feed. Furthermore, market trends are influenced by the increased adoption of natural and organic pelletizing agents, responding to consumer preferences for chemical-free animal products. This trend is anticipated to further propel the growth of the feed pelletizing agents market in North America during the forecast period.
