The market CAGR for animal growth promoters & performance enhancers is primarily driven by expanding demand for animal consumption and livestock-based products, rising need for organically produced growth promoters, and escalating animal diseases and climate change. Animal growth promoters and performance enhancers are substances used or given to animals. These products are used as they improve the utilization of animal feed. Animal growth promoters and performance enhancers help improve nutrition availability through intestinal absorption.
The goal of most livestock-related enterprises throughout the world is to maximize the efficiency of feed conversion without exposing themselves to substantial danger. This can be accomplished using animal growth promoters and performance enhancers with higher efficiency and fewer hazardous substances. As per the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United States had 94 million cattle in 2018. This has increased demand for the items as the animal population has grown, as has the desire for animals and animal-based products. The industry is shifting towards natural growth promoters and performance enhancers derived from probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, and plant extracts. These alternatives aim to promote animal health and productivity while reducing the use of antibiotics and synthetic additives, aligning with the broader sustainability goals of the livestock industry.
Many environmental issues have arisen due to the development of very intensive input systems. Cattle grazing herds emit massive volumes of greenhouse gases, considerably contributing to the greenhouse effect. According to reports, livestock animals emit more than 100 distinct types of gases, including ammonia and methane, which contribute to warming and are more destructive than carbon dioxide. Agriculture currently accounts for around 14% of greenhouse gas emissions. According to the USDA, agricultural methane output will grow by 60% by 2030. As a result, IFIF corporate members such as Alltech (US), MSD Animal Health (US), Elanco (US), and Phibro Animal Health Corporation (US) are aiming to achieve the twin goal of profitability and sustainability. Such endeavors to produce environmentally friendly animal growth promoters are projected to provide significant growth potential in the animal growth promoters & performance enhancers market revenue.
The animal growth promoters & performance enhancers market segmentation, based on product type, includes antibiotic, hormonal, feed enzymes, probiotics & prebiotics, phytogenic, and others. The probiotics & prebiotics category generated the most income (30%). This is owing mostly to their safety, natural performance-enhancing characteristics, and great nutritional value. It also promotes disease resistance and health by altering the gut microbiota, reducing pathogen shedding and disease symptoms, increasing gut immunity, and improving disease resistance and health.
Based on livestock, the animal growth promoters & performance enhancers market segmentation includes ruminants, poultry, porcine, and others. The poultry segment dominated the market, accounting for 38% of market revenue (4.5 Billion). This segment's substantial market share can be attributable to increased demand for poultry meat and eggs, rising new diet approaches, and increasing antibiotic phase-outs, resulting in the development of alternatives. Besides, the rising concern over antimicrobial resistance and the need to reduce antibiotic usage in poultry farming encourage the adoption of alternative growth-promoting solutions, such as probiotics, enzymes, and organic acids, to enhance poultry health and productivity.

The ruminants segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the animal growth promoters & performance enhancers industry in the coming years. Ruminants, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, play a vital role in the meat and dairy production industry. The increasing demand for high-quality meat and dairy products, driven by population growth and changing dietary preferences, fuels the need for improved animal health and productivity. Animal growth promoters and performance enhancers tailored for ruminants aim to enhance feed efficiency, weight gain, and overall performance, enabling farmers to optimize production and meet rising consumer demands.
By region, the study provides market insights into Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The North American animal growth promoters & performance enhancers market accounted for USD 5.45 billion in 2022 and will likely exhibit a significant CAGR growth in the study period. The high regional consumption of meat and dairy products and the growing demand for sustainable and efficient livestock production require advanced growth-promoting solutions. Farmers in North America seek to optimize animal health and productivity while ensuring the responsible use of antibiotics and maintaining high animal welfare standards. The robust presence of key market players and innovative research initiatives in the region further contributes to the development and adoption of novel animal growth promoters and performance enhancers, catering to the specific needs of North American livestock producers.

Further, the German animal growth promoters & performance enhancers market held the largest market share, and the UK animal growth promoters & performance enhancers market was the fastest-growing market in the European region.
The Asia-Pacific Animal Growth Promoters & Performance Enhancers Market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2023 to 2032. The growing regional population, rising disposable incomes, and dietary changes drive the demand for animal-based protein sources, stimulating the need for improved livestock production efficiency. With several countries focusing on modernizing their livestock production systems, the Asia Pacific market offers immense growth potential for companies developing innovative animal growth promoters and performance enhancers to support sustainable and efficient agriculture practices. Moreover, China’s animal growth promoters & performance enhancers market held the largest market share, and the Indian animal growth promoters & performance enhancers market was the fastest-growing market in the Asia-Pacific region.
Recent News:
September 2023: The Department of Fisheries, India has authorized 732 artificial reef units for ten coastal states of India as a sub-activity of the "Integrated Modern Coastal Fishing Villages" component of the Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS), with the aim of fostering sustainable practices. With the technical assistance of the Fishery Survey of India (FSI) and the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), the initiatives are currently being executed. The site selection processes for all states have been finalized, with the exception of Kerala and Maharashtra, which have concluded the tendering process for work execution. As a result, the anticipated completion date for all initiatives is January 2024. It is anticipated that the implementation of sea ranching programs in all coastal states and the establishment of artificial reefs in coastal waters will serve as effective strategies to restore coastal fisheries and replenish fish inventories.
