Feed market size for water-soluble vitamins and minerals depends on a number of factors that shape its growth. The market is driven by the increasing recognition among livestock producers of the importance of balanced nutrition in animal health and performance. Water-soluble vitamins and minerals are necessary for growth, reproduction and support of immune systems in animals’ diets. Consequently, demand for vitamin/mineral enhanced water-soluble feeds goes up as farmers try to enhance cattle health and performance.
In 2022, the feed market for water-soluble vitamins and minerals was $8.9 billion. This indicates that the market is anticipated to grow from USD 9.5 Billion in 2023 to USD 17.2 Billion by 2032, with a CAGR of about 7.60%.
Market dynamics could be affected greatly by regulatory issues being put in place by authorities within a country or between countries themselves. In order to guarantee safety and quality standards for animal products governments as well as regulatory bodies often set feed formulation requirements. Therefore, vitamins must be balanced with corresponding minerals when designing diets for specific species since these essential nutrients are included in this type of feeding approach which keeps them from becoming overly dependent upon any one source or kind of food; hence it is their adherence to such regulation that drives research/development activities into WSVMs.
The global trend towards intensive and precision farming also contributes significantly to this industry’s growth. Intensification calls for precise supply of nutrients efficiently where they are needed most during growth and development stages of farm animals (livestock). To obtain accurate dosing rates with respect to livestock body weight or size, water soluble vitamins/minerals are desirable through wet feeding systems that utilize water as primary feed ingredient thus matching current methods employed in commercial poultry production.
Consumer preferences continue to drive the market for water-soluble vitamins and minerals used in animal feed; consumers want high-quality products that aid good nutrition rather than poor-quality ones with less emphasis on nutritional values added to them. Thus farmers are under pressure to produce healthier meat, eggs and dairy as customers now increasingly focus on their health. B-complex vitamins and minerals such as zinc and selenium among others enriched in animal feeds make for a healthier diet leading to a demand for these nutrients by consumers.
Additionally, the market growth can be influenced by raw material price volatility and the need for cost-effective solutions. Besides, vitamin and mineral costs can vary due to market conditions and supply chain interruptions. The challenge is to maintain the cost-effectiveness of water-soluble vitamins and minerals in feed formulations without compromising quality or efficiency. However, sustainable expansion of the market requires balancing price and nutritional benefits.
Water-Soluble Vitamins & Minerals in Feed Market Size was valued at USD 9.5 Billion in 2024.

Market CAGR for water-soluble vitamins & minerals in feed is driven by the rise in the population. Water-soluble vitamins and minerals are known to be verily utilized as animal feed and are fed to animals by dissolving in water. The rise in the knowledge about the accessibility of many types of feed supplements in developed countries is further anticipated to promote the growth of the water-soluble vitamin and mineral feed supplements market.
Additionally, the peak demand for nutrition supplements for monogastric animals will further give potential opportunities for the growth of this market in recent years. However, bettering the bioavailability of trace minerals might further challenge the growth of the water-soluble vitamin and mineral feed supplements market in the near future.
Furthermore, increasing concerns about the nutrition and health of livestock animals is an important factor fetching the market growth. Moreover, the quick development of the organized livestock sector and growing Demand for meat and other livestock-derived products are the key factors expected to promote market growth over the forecast period. Water-soluble vitamin & mineral feed supplements have made a standing as they develop the health of livestock, thereby improving the quality of products obtained from them. For example, Ruminant vitamin & mineral feed supplements give guarantee appropriate milk-producing capacity and disease prevention. Thus, driving the Water-Soluble Vitamins & Minerals in Feed market revenue.
The water-soluble vitamins & minerals in feed market segmentation, based on vitamin type, includes vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and others. Vitamin B complex category dominated the market mainly because consciousness about strategy for reducing disease occurrences among end-users is one of the main factors motivating the growth of the vitamin B3 sub-segment in the market.

The water-soluble vitamins & minerals in feed market segmentation, based on minerals types, include phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, and others. The potassium category generated the most income owing to its nutritional value as an important impulse component for improving egg, milk, and meat production as well as feed adequacy.
On the other hand, other minerals category, consisting of chlorine, sodium, selenium, iodine, and sulfur, would prosper rapidly.
The water-soluble vitamins & minerals in feed market segmentation, based on livestock, includes swine, poultry, ruminants, and aquaculture. The poultry category generated the most income. In this, the trace minerals such as zinc play a vital role as a component of several metalloenzymes, such as carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic anhydrase is important for eggshell formation in the shell gland of hens. These minerals assist in improving the immune response of hens. Zinc deficiency in poultry feed additives can lead to poor feathering and poor shell quality.
On the other hand, the swine category is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Swine have iodine and selenium, which function as a significant component of thyroid hormones, thereby impacting the metabolic rate of swine. Iodine deficiency in swine can result in goiter, thick pulpy skin, hairlessness, and even death.
By region, the study provides market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The Asia-Pacific Water-Soluble Vitamins & Minerals in the Feed market area will dominate this market, owing to an increase in the adoption of vitamins that help to break down and provide resistance against diseases.
