Global pet food ingredients market was worth USD 39.94 billion in 2018. It is expected to grow at a 5.9% CAGR during the forecast period. The primary drivers for the growth of the pet food ingredient market were the growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of minerals and dietary fiber, as well as carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acid in pet nutrition.
Many pet food manufacturers today offer a wide range of products that can be used for different purposes. Customers can select products based on many factors, such as price points, breeds, diseases, and life stages. This type of dynamic change is likely to increase the market for pet food ingredients.
It is also estimated that there was a significant increase in the number of households with companion animal households between 2006 and 2016. The growth in total households over the past ten year has been less than that in households with companion animals, especially in the United States.
The market is also driven by increasing adoption of dogs and cats, as well as a growing focus on productivity and health. The majority of ingredients used to prepare companion animal food are synthetic at the moment due to their low cost and availability.
The Pet Food Industry estimates that nearly 95% pet owners consider their companion animals a part their family. This means that they place a high value on the quality of the food served to them. This market is driven by the preference of consumers for premium and super-premium ingredients.
There is increasing concern about the potential dangers of synthetic ingredients. Therefore, policymakers are focusing on decreasing the use antibiotics like ethoxyquin. They also focus on organic and natural products. These products will grow at the fastest rate in the next few years.
The segment of pet food ingredients was the most important in 2018. This segment includes methionine and lysine as well as cysteine. Lysine dominates the segment.
Lysine is an amino acid that forms a building block of protein in the animal's body. The animal body cannot produce enough of this amino acid so it must be supplemented or given as a diet. Lysine can be used in companion animals' diets as an ingredient. It has a similar biological value to soybean.
This market is expected to expand at a rapid pace. Another important segment is the phosphates. Monocalcium and dicalcium are the most commonly used phosphates for animal nutrition. These phosphates are vital nutrients that improve the health of companion animals.
Gut health ingredients are further classified as beta-glucan, Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS), Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), probiotics, and prebiotics. This product has wide acceptance because it stimulates anti-microbial and anti–tumor activities by binding to receptors on white cells and macrophages.
The demand for Palatants is also increasing due to the increased focus on pet food palatability. The three main sensory characteristics that animals use to determine palatability are the macronutrient profile, texture and smell of the food. Dogs are hypersensitive and smell food a lot.
The growth of acidifiers and antioxidants has been accelerated by growing concern about antibiotics being used in agricultural applications. Propionic acids, citric acid and fumaric acids are some of the most popular feed acidifiers. Fumaric acid, which is the primary driver of the product, is an efficient and cheaper energy source that is similar to glucose.
Other major product segments include specialty protein, mold inhibitors and vitamins, minerals, mycotoxin detoxifiers as well as carotenoids, flavor & sweeteners, antimicrobials & antibiotics.
Asia Pacific was the biggest regional market in 2018, with a market share exceeding 34%. The primary drivers for consumer spending on companion animals include rising population, increasing disposable income and a growing humanization trend. Due to rising consumer preference for natural products, the market is moving from mass-market to premium products.
North America was led by the U.S. and Canada. Mexico came in third place as the largest regional market. Due to its well-developed petfood industry and high ownership of horses, dogs, and cats, the U.S. was the dominant market in North America. The country is ranked among the top five countries in terms of the number of fishes, cats, and dogs it has.
Companies operating in these markets can expect positive developments due to the balanced demand-supply environment in countries like the U.S.A. In terms of integrations and acquisitions, Chinese ingredient manufacturers have been consolidating at a quicker pace than the rest of the globe.
In 2018, Europe held nearly 27% of the market share. In 2018, Europe accounted for nearly 27% of the global pet food market. These factors include high pet ownership rates, developed economies, and consumers' willingness to spend more money on pet care. The European Pet Food Industry Federation, (FEDIAF) estimates that more than 80 million households in Europe have at least one pet. Cat food products dominate the regional market due to higher cat ownership.
The European pet population was almost 84.9 million and 49.8 millions respectively. Europe is a highly competitive market for pet food ingredients companies due to the presence of almost 132 pet food manufacturing businesses and 200 production facilities.
The market for pet food ingredients is fragmented. To expand their global reach, major manufacturers have taken a variety of strategic initiatives, including acquisitions, mergers and partnerships, joint ventures or agreements, expansions, new product launches, and partnerships.
The livestock value chain is distinct from other commodity value chains in that it has a majority of participants. This allows for clear and identifiable transactions. DuPont Nutrition & Health, FoodSafe Technologies, Diana Pet Food, AFB International, Lallemand, Inc., American Dehydrated Foods, Inc., Kemin Industries, are some of the key players in this market.
Pet food ingredient manufacturers have been driven by technological advances to improve their sourcing of ingredients and energy consumption. Producers will continue to face a challenge and opportunity in meeting growing demand for pet food ingredients.
Long-term "offtake" agreements are preferred. Production contracts with pet food producers can be a benefit to ingredients producers as they offer opportunities for profit margin boosting.
Market players are focusing their attention on the developing countries of Asia Pacific. There, the pet food market is expected to grow at a rapid pace which will be a major driver for the product market. Global players are able to expand their operations in the region because of the existence of untapped markets due to lower pet ownership.
