Asia Pacific Feed Phosphate Market size exceeded USD 1.5 billion in 2021 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.5% between 2022 and 2028.

A rising demand for beef, pork, and chicken across Asian countries has been fueling the animal feed demand. Being one of the largest livestock markets worldwide, the APAC region accounts for nearly 40-45% of total global meat production. Since feed phosphate ingredients are crucial components of animal nutrition, the product uptake will grow due to the increased focus on animal health.

Feed phosphates ensure that animal lactation, reproduction, growth, fertility, and development is optimal, boosting the profits of livestock owners. Although a substantial percentage of the APAC population is non-vegetarian, the accelerated focus toward sustainable practices has rendered vegetarian meat substitutes popular. Increasing number of vegans and easier availability of plant-based meat might hamper the market growth.

During 2022, the alarming rise in the incidence of lumpy skin disease and foot & mouth disease (MFD) raised significant concerns in APAC’s livestock sector. Following a high number of animal deaths, the Australian government has announced that it will spend more than USD 83 million toward biosecurity for combating animal diseases. Growing fund volumes, as well as increased awareness regarding animal health and nutrition, will ensure that regional product consumption from animal farms across the nation will support the APAC feed phosphate market forecast.

Impact of COVID-19 on Asia Pacific Feed Phosphate market Outlook:

During 2020, the shutdown of production units and disruptions in the supply chain negatively affected the animal feed industry in Asia Pacific. Since 2021, industry participants are collaborating to bridge the gaps in supply chains to ensure reliability and continuity of product cycles.
