market share, Evonik Industries AG, 2022
Evonik has the highest market share because it expanded its methyl mercaptan plant in Alabama, United States. It invests in product innovation.
- In the North American feed amino acid market, the United States was the most prominent player, accounting for 70% of the total market value in 2022. The demand for feed amino acids in the country was primarily driven by the need to support animal growth and meat production. Lysine and methionine were the most significant feed amino acids in terms of market value. The popularity of these amino acids could be attributed to their high efficiency in promoting gut health and digestion in animals, in addition to enhancing meat production.
- Methionine and tryptophan were the fastest-growing feed amino acids in the United States, with an impressive anticipated CAGR of 6.8% each during the forecast period. The increasing usage of animals propels this growth for meat and its importance in boosting immunity.
- Poultry and ruminants were the largest consumers of feed amino acids in the United States, accounting for 39.7% and 38.7% of the total feed amino acid market, respectively, in 2022. Ruminants had a higher share of feed amino acid usage because of the greater animal headcount and demand for amino acids in beef cattle farming. Swine was the third largest animal segment, with a 19% share of the total feed amino acids market in the country due to the high demand for red meat, including pork.
- The expected increase in demand for meat and meat products, as well as the growing awareness of the benefits of amino acids in balancing gut pH and reducing the incidence of infections, is set to be the major driving force behind the feed amino acids market in the United States. As a result, players in the feed amino acids industry are likely to keep an eye on this trend and develop strategies to capitalize on it.

United States Feed Amino Acids Market Trends
The United States poultry industry is one of the largest commercial food industry and increased consumption of meats and eggs is increasing the poultry production
- The poultry industry in the United States is thriving due to the increasing demand for eggs and poultry meat in the commercial food industry and the rising export. The country is one of the largest egg producers and exporters globally, with the total egg exports in 2020 increasing by 9.3% to 3.5 billion eggs from the previous year and the export value growing by 2.4% to USD 189 million.
- The consumption of poultry meat in the United States improved due to favorable prices, a rise in awareness of a high-protein diet, and increasing demand for poultry meat. As a result, the poultry bird headcount increased by 17.6 million in 2022 compared to the previous year. Raising chickens in small spaces and different environments makes poultry production more feasible and less expensive than beef and pork, attracting animal farmers with limited rearing areas to invest in poultry farms.
- However, the US import share is expected to decrease from 26% in 2021 to 24% in 2031, which can affect the growth of the poultry feed market. Swine flu and trade disputes with China between 2018 and 2019 also contributed to the steady poultry population during the historical period, as animal farmers were reluctant to increase rearing.
- Despite these challenges, the increasing consumption of meat and eggs and rising export, combined with the growing poultry population, are expected to drive the growth of the feed additives market in the United States during the forecast period.

Presence of a large number of fish farms and feed mills is contributing to increasing feed production for aquaculture
- Aquaculture feed production in the United States recorded an increase of 4.1% in 2022 compared to 2017. The presence of several feed mills, which totaled 6,232 in the United States alone, contributed to this increase. The per capita seafood consumption also increased from 21.88 kg in 2018 to 22.26 kg in 2022.
- Fish had a significant share among the various aquaculture feed, accounting for 83.2% in 2022. This can be attributed to the increasing awareness of the benefits of fish in the human diet, high demand in the international market, expansion of the retail sector, and the presence of numerous fish farms in the country. Most fish farms are located in Ohio, and the most consumed fish is catfish. This is because catfish can convert pellet feed into pounds of fish.
- Shrimp accounted for 7.5% of the aquaculture feed market in 2022, as it is the other most consumed aquatic animal due to the rise in demand for seafood and its high protein content. However, the country depends on other countries for shrimp, which affected its growth during the study period. On the other hand, other aquatic species witnessed high growth in demand, as the demand for bivalves from restaurants increased after COVID-19 due to their popularity as a main cuisine. The high number of feed mills and rising demand for fish and seafood, with increasing feed production of aquaculture, are expected to drive the growth of the feed additives market in the United States during the forecast period.

Research Methodology
Mordor Intelligence follows a four-step methodology in all our reports.
- Step-1: IDENTIFY KEY VARIABLES: In order to build a robust forecasting methodology, the variables and factors identified in Step-1 are tested against available historical market numbers. Through an iterative process, the variables required for market forecast are set and the model is built on the basis of these variables.
- Step-2: Build a Market Model: Market-size estimations for the forecast years are in nominal terms. Inflation is not a part of the pricing, and the average selling price (ASP) is kept constant throughout the forecast period.
- Step-3: Validate and Finalize: In this important step, all market numbers, variables and analyst calls are validated through an extensive network of primary research experts from the market studied. The respondents are selected across levels and functions to generate a holistic picture of the market studied.
- Step-4: Research Outputs: Syndicated Reports, Custom Consulting Assignments, Databases & Subscription Platforms
