Porcine plasma feed refers to a feed ingredient that contains highly digestible proteins, amino acids, and other significant amounts of functional bioactive components such as immunoglobulins, transferrin, growth factors, peptides, and other biologically active ingredients. It is utilized as a mainstay in the diets of pigs, serving the primary purpose of enhancing average growth and maintaining pig nutrition when added as a feed additive.
The main types of porcine plasma feed are powder, grain, and others. Powder-based porcine plasma feed involves the use of powder-based feed additives designed to improve performance and health. It is a hygienically obtained and veterinary-approved animal protein that dissolves easily, exhibiting excellent functional properties. Porcine plasma feed is applied in swine feed, pet food, aquafeed, and other applications. End-users of porcine plasma feed include farmers, farming organizations, feed additive companies, and providers of animal feed for pets.
The porcine plasma feed market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides porcine plasma feed market statistics, including porcine plasma feed industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a porcine plasma feed market share, detailed porcine plasma feed market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the porcine plasma feed industry. This porcine plasma feed 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 porcine plasma feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.25 billion in 2024 to $1.31 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased consumer spending on pet food, a ban on the use of antibiotics in many countries, and increased investments.
The porcine plasma feed market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing consumption of meat, the increasing adoption of sustainable methods in the feed industry, and growth across the food sector globally. Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on product launches, focusing on new nutritional solutions, focusing on new feed additives, strategic partnerships and collaborations, and technology advancement.
Rising consumer spending on pet food is a key factor driving the growth of the porcine plasma feed market. Over recent years, the pet food industry has expanded significantly, partly due to increasing cases of food and feed adulteration. Pet foods enriched with essential amino acids support development, growth, and provide vital nutrients for pet animals. Adding plasma feed additives to pet diets enhances digestive health and bolsters immune function and metabolism. For example, in December 2023, Pet Food Processing, a U.S.-based provider of insights, trends, and innovations for the pet food manufacturing sector, projected that the pet food market will lead industry growth, reaching approximately $121 billion by 2030, followed by veterinary care at $71 billion, pet supplies and over-the-counter medications at $66 billion, and other services, including live animal sales, at $24 billion. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), pet food and products comprised the largest spending category for pet owners in 2022, including items like beds, crates, carriers, chews, grooming aids, harnesses, medications, food accessories, toys, and vitamins and supplements. Consequently, increased consumer spending on pet food is expected to drive demand for porcine plasma feed throughout the forecast period.
The growing adoption of sustainable practices is poised to have a positive impact on the porcine plasma feed market's growth. Achieving sustainability in animal nutrition involves optimizing feed resources, improving feed conversion, utilizing alternative ingredients, reducing environmental impact, and minimizing antibiotic use. In July 2022, Tebrio, a Spain-based biotechnology company, collaborated with key players in the swine industry to introduce a sustainable alternative for controlling piglet mortality without using zinc oxide, thereby enhancing sector efficiency and sustainability. This growing adoption of sustainable practices is expected to contribute to the expansion of the porcine plasma feed market.
The expanding swine industry is anticipated to drive growth in the porcine plasma feed market moving forward. The swine industry encompasses the breeding, raising, and processing of pigs for pork production, involving various practices in animal husbandry, nutrition, health management, and meat processing. This industry's growth is fueled by heightened awareness of health and nutrition, sustainability initiatives, and food security concerns. Porcine plasma feed, a highly nutritious supplement, promotes growth, health, and overall performance in pigs, significantly boosting the efficiency and productivity of the swine industry. For example, in May 2023, the Philippine Statistics Association reported in a U.S.-based swine situation report that hog production from January to March 2023 reached an estimated 437.99 thousand metric tons, liveweight, marking a 5.1 percent increase from the 416.72 thousand metric tons in the same period of 2022. Thus, the rising demand in the swine industry is driving the porcine plasma feed market.
Companies in the porcine plasma feed market are actively launching new products. In 2023, Purina Animal Nutrition, a US-based company specializing in feeds for various animals, introduced Purina EnduraSow and EnduraPig, novel feed additives aimed at enhancing sow performance and piglet respiratory health. These innovative feed additives have demonstrated positive outcomes, such as increased pigs weaned per sow per year during health challenges. Additionally, companies are engaging in strategic acquisitions to strengthen their position.
In May 2022, Darling Ingredients Inc., a US-based provider of sustainable natural ingredients, acquired Valley Proteins, a company involved in rendering and recycling animal by-products. This acquisition aims to fortify Darling Ingredients' business and provide additional low-carbon intensity feedstocks.
