The Direct Fed Microbials Market is projected to be worth USD 1775 million By 2032, growing at a 7.8% CAGR. Direct-fed microbials are the live microbial supplements, which play an essential role in increasing the digestibility of the feed, enhancing the nutrient absorption, aiding performance, and reducing the feed cost. The ban on antibiotics as growth promoters has created opportunities for the direct fed microbials as they are being used as an alternative for enhancing animal growth and performance. Increasing awareness about animal health among the rearers and consumers have boosted demand for precision nutrition, which has significantly boosted the demand for direct fed microbials globally. However, the variation in the regulations regarding the consumption of microbes in food and feed is a major restraining factor for the growth of the market.
The global direct fed microbials industry has been segmented based on type, livestock, form, and region.
By type, the global market has been bifurcated into lactic acid bacteria, bacillus subtilis, yeast, and others.
Based on livestock, the global market has been classified as ruminants, poultry, swine, and others.
By form, the global market has been divided into dry and liquid.
The global market has been segmented into four key regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world.
The direct fed microbials market in North America has further been categorized as the US, Canada, and Mexico. The market in Europe has been segmented into Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the rest of Europe. The direct fed microbials market in Asia-Pacific has been segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. The market in the rest of the world has been segmented into South America, the Middle East, and Africa.
