Feed Enzymes Global Market Report 2025

Feed enzymes are protein-based biological catalysts employed to enhance digestion by breaking down starch, protein, and fat in the digestive system. This process aims to improve feed utilization, increase nutrient availability, and mitigate the impact of anti-nutrients derived from the feed, ultimately optimizing nutrient capture efficiency.

The primary types of feed enzymes include protease, phytase, carbohydrase, and others. Proteases, specifically, are enzymes that hydrolyze protein peptide bonds, converting them into shorter polypeptides and amino acids. The incorporation of proteases into animal feed serves to facilitate digestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and improve overall protein utilization. These enzymes can be derived from various sources, including microorganisms, plants, and animals, and are available in diverse forms such as dry, liquid, and others. The application of feed enzymes extends to various livestock categories, including swine, poultry, ruminants, aquatic animals, and more.

This feed enzymes market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The feed enzymes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from$1.86 billion in 2024 to $2.02 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to efficiency in feed conversion, regulatory approval and compliance, awareness of the environmental impact, shift toward sustainable agriculture, feed cost reduction, and globalization of the animal feed industry

The feed enzymes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.68 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the demand for antibiotic alternatives, focus on gut health, research on enzyme functionality, climate change mitigation in agriculture, and global animal health challenges. Major trends in the forecast period include digitalization in feed formulation, integration of enzymes in premixes, customized enzyme blends, advancements in enzyme technology, and sustainable and eco-friendly solutions.

The anticipated rise in meat consumption is likely to drive the growth of the feed enzymes market in the coming years. Meat is defined as the flesh of animals consumed for its rich supply of protein, vitamins, and minerals in a diet. Enzymes are widely used in animal feeds to mitigate the adverse effects of antinutritional factors found in raw feed materials and enhance performance, enabling the production of more meat per animal at a lower cost while also improving long-term health. For example, a report released by Carlisle Technology, a software company based in Canada, indicated that in 2022, the per capita turkey consumption in the U.S. was 14.60 pounds and is expected to rise to 15.40 pounds by 2033, reflecting a 0.35% annual increase in turkey consumption. At the same time, the per capita consumption of broiler chicken was 98.90 pounds in 2022, projected to increase to 107.50 pounds by 2033. Thus, the growing demand for meat is a key factor driving the feed enzymes market.

Stringent regulations on antibiotic usage are anticipated to drive the growth of the feed enzymes market in the future. Antibiotics, a class of drugs used to inhibit or kill bacteria, have traditionally been employed in animal feeds. However, concerns about resistance and public health have led to regulations restricting antibiotic use, prompting a shift toward antibiotic-free systems in animal production. Feed enzymes play a crucial role in this transition by serving as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters. They contribute to digestive health, nutrient absorption, and improved feed efficiency. For instance, in November 2022, the European Union implemented new laws prohibiting the routine use of antibiotics in farmed animals, addressing global concerns about antibiotic overuse and antimicrobial resistance, with implications for animal welfare and global food imports. Therefore, stringent regulations on antibiotic usage are steering the growth of the feed enzymes market.

Key players in the feed enzymes market are incorporating new technologies, such as enzymatic solutions for corn separation, to maintain their market presence. This enzymatic solution is a biotechnological approach that employs specific enzymes to decompose corn components, thereby aiding in the extraction of starch and other valuable byproducts during processing. For example, in September 2023, Huvepharma Inc., a pharmaceutical company based in Bulgaria, introduced the Enzymatic Digestibility Enhancer Huvezym neXo in the European Union. This product is part of Huvepharma's strategy to broaden its portfolio within the feed enzymes market, which is essential for enhancing the efficiency of animal feed usage. The introduction of Huvezym neXo aims to improve the digestibility of animal feed, thus promoting better overall health and productivity in livestock. By optimizing nutrient absorption, this enzymatic solution is anticipated to assist livestock producers in reducing feed costs while encouraging improved growth rates and feed conversion efficiencies.

Major companies in the feed enzymes market are actively developing enzyme blends tailored for high-fiber piglet diets to secure a competitive advantage. High-fiber piglet diets refer to feed formulations for young pigs (piglets) that incorporate a substantial amount of dietary fiber. In March 2023, International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc., a US-based chemical manufacturing company, launched Axtra PRIME, a new enzyme blend specifically addressing challenges in piglet production. Axtra PRIME combines xylanase, beta-glucanase, alpha-amylase, and protease enzymes to address the changing dietary needs in the livestock industry driven by economic and sustainability considerations. This blend is formulated to enhance nutrient digestion and utilization in high-fiber diets, ultimately improving piglet performance.

In January 2023, Novus International Inc., a US-based animal health and nutrition company, acquired Agrivida Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aims to gain ownership of Agrivida's proprietary INTERIUS technology, which embeds feed additives inside grain, thereby enhancing Novus International's product portfolio in the field of feed enzymes. Agrivida Inc. is a biotechnology company based in the US that specializes in the manufacturing and commercialization of enzyme solutions for livestock feed.
