Global Feed Processing Equipment Market - 2023-2030

Overview

Global Feed Processing Equipment Market reached US$ 50.2 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 73.49 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Animal protein demand has helped propel the feed processing machinery market. By 2031, the amount of protein derived from chicken, pork, beef, and sheep meat will increase by 16%, 17%, 8%, and 16% respectively, according to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2022-2031 report. As people turn increasingly to animal products such as milk, cheese, eggs, etc. the livestock industry is growing which requires rapidly-adopted technologies to deal efficiently with large quantities of feed processing machinery.

Integration of new technologies, such as AI and machine learning, into feed processing equipment to improve production efficiency and lower labor requirements. The growing technologies provide machines that save energy and reduce the environmental impact, promoting sustainable practices in feed production and aligning with sustainable practices in feed production.

Poultry feed has a substantial share in the feed processing equipment market as poultry feed is increasingly needed to meet the demand for poultry meat. Asia-Pacific held a significant share in the feed processing equipment market due to rising feed production in that region. According to Invest India, the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency of India over the last five years, the Indian animal feed industry expanded at a 3.5% CAGR to reach a size of approximately $11.66 billion.

Dynamics

Growing Livestock Production

The market for feed processing equipment is being driven ahead by the increasing production of livestock. In April 2022, in India, the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying has published the latest i.e., the 20th Livestock Census held in 2019 Territories. According to that, there are 536.76 billion livestock in the nation overall, up 4.8% from the Livestock Census of 2012. Global population growth is driving up demand for items generated from livestock, including meat and dairy. This increase in demand calls for improved and effective processes for making premium animal feed.

Livestock producers are constantly trying to improve the feed formulas to preserve the well-being, development, and production of their animals. Consequently, there is a larger need for specialized feed processing equipment that can manage a wide range of components, precisely combine them, and guarantee feed production consistency. Moreover, the intensification of livestock farming practices demands higher volumes of feed, driving the need for larger-scale and more automated feed processing equipment to meet these growing demands efficiently

Rising Technological Advancements in Feed Processing

The market for feed processing equipment has evolved and grown as a result of substantial technological breakthroughs in feed processing. These developments consistently transform the manufacturing process for animal feed, improving feed product quality, accuracy, and efficiency. Modern machinery can handle a broad variety of raw materials, control particle size precisely, and more effectively include additives or supplements to meet the unique nutritional needs of various livestock species and growth phases.

In January 2023, A group of Russian scientists developed a new technology for the deep processing of amaranth for feed producers, allowing them to obtain 30% more protein compared to conventional processing methods. Amaranth is a protein-rich, gluten-free grain similar to quinoa with a distant relation to Swiss chard and spinach. In Russia, it is used to feed poultry and cattle.

High Initial and Maintenance Cost

The higher initial and maintenance costs associated with animal feed processing equipment serve as significant constraints on the market expansion. Purchasing modern, efficient equipment requires a significant upfront investment, which can be prohibitive for smaller or newly established livestock operations with limited funding. Their competitiveness and operational efficiency are impacted by these higher initial costs, which make it more difficult for them to invest in or upgrade cutting-edge technology.

Furthermore, these complex equipment require constant maintenance, which is a continuous cost strain. Businesses that use such equipment may find their profitability affected by the overall operational costs associated with regular maintenance, repairs, and part replacement. It could be difficult for small and medium-sized businesses to set aside enough money for these ongoing costs, which could cause production disruptions or resistance to implementing newer, more effective technologies.

Segment Analysis

The global feed processing equipment market is segmented based on function, feed type, automation grade and region.

Growing Poultry Farming

Poultry farming is believed to be one of the fastest-growing livestock sectors in the world. High-quality feed must be produced effectively and in sufficient numbers to meet this increasing demand, which has led to a significant need for poultry feed processing equipment. Expert equipment that can create a wide range of feeds, from grower and finisher feeds to starter feeds, is needed.

Aiming to provide underserved producers and tribal communities with more options for processing meat and poultry in April 2023 the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the availability of up to $125 billion through two new grant programs. This is a part of the wider $1 billion American Rescue Plan program of the Biden-Harris Administration to boost small and midsized meat and poultry firms' processing capacity.

Geographical Penetration

Asia-Pacific's Growing Feed Production

Owing to the increasing population in Asia-Pacific and the resulting demand for meat products, which has propelled the growth of the livestock industry, the region holds a substantial share of the global market for feed. Asia-Pacific produced 466 billion tonnes (36.8%) of the world's compound feed, which was 1.266 billion tonnes in 2022, according to Alltech, an animal health firm, in its Agri-Food Outlook 2023 study. This large animal feed requires efficient and high-tech feed processing equipment and drives the market growth in that region.

In Asia-Pacific, there are diverse agricultural economies across countries like China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam which have fueled extensive livestock production. Modern feed processing equipment is in high demand since these businesses are experiencing exponential growth and need to produce high-quality feed at a reasonable cost.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic affected the availability of raw materials and components required for the production of feed processing equipment by upsetting global supply lines. This caused delays in shipping and production schedules, which had an impact on market operations.

The economic uncertainty brought on by the pandemic caused lower investments in several industries, notably agriculture and livestock. The growth of the industry was hampered by farmers' and feed manufacturers' reluctance to make substantial expenditures on new machinery. Movement restrictions and labor scarcity impacted equipment installation and production operations.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

The conflict heightened geopolitical tensions, impacting trade dynamics and creating uncertainties in the market. This situation influenced international trade relationships and affected the flow of goods and technologies, including feed processing equipment. The geopolitical tensions contributed to economic instability in the region and beyond.

The conflict led to disruptions in supply chains due to trade restrictions, border closures, and uncertainties in the region. This affected the availability of raw materials, components, and equipment necessary for manufacturing feed processing machinery. The conflict disrupted agricultural activities in affected areas, potentially impacting the production of livestock and subsequently the demand for feed processing equipment. Uncertainties surrounding agricultural output and market stability affected investment decisions.
