South America Feed Premix Market Analysis

The South America Feed Premix Market size is estimated at USD 15.11 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 18.56 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The South American feed premix market is growing due to increasing demand for high-value animal protein and the need for improved feed conversion rates. Feed premixes enhance the nutritional content of animal feed, making them vital for livestock production. The market's expansion is further supported by increased production of compound feed, as premixes are essential components in enhancing feed nutritional content.

The increasing demand for livestock products is driving supply-side changes focused on improving product yields. Industrial-style production facilities using capital-intensive technologies have enabled efficient meat production in countries like Brazil and Argentina, particularly where land availability is limited. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Brazil produced 8.91 million metric tons of beef in 2023, an 11.2% increase from 2022. Brazil holds the position of the world's largest beef exporter, accounting for nearly 30% of global beef exports in 2022, as reported by the Brazilian Beef Exporters Association (ABIEC). As cattle production continues to expand to meet the growing meat demand, the market for feed premix is anticipated to grow during the forecast period.

South American countries are experiencing increased urbanization and rising income levels. These economic changes have influenced dietary preferences, leading to higher per capita consumption of meat and seafood. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Argentina's chicken meat consumption reached 2.15 million metric tons in 2022, a 1.8 percent increase from the previous year. Growing awareness about protein-rich diets has driven the consumption of animal protein sources. This trend is projected to increase the demand for feed premix through its application in compound feed production.

The South American feed premix market is driven by government initiatives that support animal production and food safety standards. Brazil and Argentina's governments implement policies to strengthen the livestock sector and encourage the adoption of feed premixes. In Brazil, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply (MAPA) oversees the animal feed regulatory framework, including feed premix regulations and enzyme evaluations at federal and state levels. The regulatory process has evolved to delegate certain responsibilities to state authorities for enhanced local oversight.
