Swine Feed - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)
Market Report I 2025-04-28 I 125 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Swine Feed Market size is estimated at USD 113.02 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 140.84 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
Key Highlights
- Across the globe, swine livestock production is expanding to meet the evolving dietary needs of populations, especially in developing markets. For instance, as per USDA data, globally swine meat production rose from 114.62 million metric tons in 2022 to 116.3 million metric tons in 2023. Beyond the surging demand for animal protein and the industrialization of livestock production, the swine feed market is also being propelled by a heightened emphasis on animal welfare and sustainability. As consumers increasingly prioritize the origin and quality of their food, there's a notable uptick in demand for products sourced from animals raised under humane and sustainable conditions. This shift is catalyzing the adoption of innovative feeding practices and technologies that not only enhance animal welfare but also mitigate environmental impacts.
- The livestock sector in the global market, especially in Asia-Pacific, is increasingly becoming industrial, with many farmers remaining small and marginal in countries like India and China. With many live swine animals, Asia-Pacific is the leading feed-consuming region in the world, followed by Europe, and thus, they have a direct impact on the swine feed market. The increasing scale of livestock production in the regions has contributed to the increase in feed production capacities in the region's major economies, such as China, India, Russia, and Spain.
- The presence of major and numerous market players in the United States, Brazil, China, and Japan and a large number of small and medium players in the global market led to a competitive environment. The expansion activities and new product launches served as the major strategies adopted by the global companies in the swine feed industry, to capture the market share in the global swine feed market. For instance, in 2021, De Heus acquired a feed manufacturing company Coppens Diervoeding, a Netherland-based company specializing in the pig farming sector. This acquisition helped the company to increase its production capacity by 400k and strengthen its regional presence.
Swine Feed Market Trends
Cereals are the Significant Segment by Ingredients Type
There has been increasing pressure on the livestock industry to meet the rising demand for meat and high-value animal protein. Population growth, rising incomes in developing nations, and urbanization have led to a surge in global livestock production. With greater awareness among the population regarding the importance of protein-rich diets, an increase in the consumption of animal protein sources is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market through the usage of high-quality feed like cereals, as pork is one of the most popular and widely consumed meats worldwide, majorly in Europe and Southeast Asia. For instance, according to FAOSTAT, swine meat production was 121.0 million metric tons in 2021, which increased by 122.6 million metric tons in 2023.
Cereals are the most common and widely used ingredient in swine feed worldwide. Cereals are a primary energy source, and they are used extensively in feed manufacturing. Corn, barley, and sorghum are the most common types of cereal ingredients used in the manufacturing of swine feed. Wheat and wheat gluten are the most efficient and cost-effective feed-binding ingredients. The glutinous nature of wheat makes it an excellent pelleting aid, and it often enhances pellet durability (particularly in rations), with little need for other natural binders. Byproducts and distillers' grains are low in carbohydrates, which are required to bind pellets properly. Thus, they are less frequently used in industry. The several uses of binders in swine feed increase the demand for the same in the feed industry, thereby driving the market's growth.
Asia-Pacific Region Dominates the Market
Asia is the leading pork consumption and production market, accounting for about half of the world's production. The Asia-Pacific region is the largest market for swine feed products due to the huge pork meat consumption. Southeast Asia is the world's largest producer and exporter of pork, followed by Europe and North America. Pork meat has been consumed in the region since ancient times and is the most preferred meat due to its fat content and taste. China is the primary market for pork production, followed by Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are the saturated markets for pork consumption, while Vietnam and the Philippines are emerging markets.
China holds the topmost position in terms of compound feed consumption. Factors, such as the increasing consumption of pork, rising income among the middle-class population, and urbanization, are leading to increased consumption of pork in the country. For instance, according to the OECD, China's consumption of swine meat was 55,546.4 thousand metric tons which increased by 56,290.0 thousand metric tons in 2023. Consequently, the increased demand for meat and rising costs of raw materials for animal consumption are driving the demand for swine feed.
In Australia, marketing campaigns promoting pork as a lighter and healthier meat have spurred a rise in consumption. This surge has catalyzed the swift industrialization of pork production in the country, with many large-scale operations embracing automation. Piggeries have evolved into specialized, high-tech factory farm complexes. Consequently, this transformation has bolstered the swine feed market in Australia. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2021 revealed a fairly uniform distribution of pigs across the mainland. Notably, Queensland boasts the nation's largest pig herd, exceeding 607,000 head, accounting for nearly 27% of Australia's total.
Swine Feed Industry Segmentation
The global swine feed market is consolidated with major players like Cargill Inc., Nutreco NV, Land O' Lakes Inc., Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL, and ADM. These major companies are adopting strategies, such as mergers and acquisitions, expansion, and partnerships, to increase their market shares. The leading companies are focused on acquiring feed mills and small manufacturing facilities for the expansion of their businesses in domestic and international markets.
