COVID-19 Analysis:

COVID-19 was a nuisance virus that sometimes had dangerous and (rarely) deadly outcomes. COVID-19 was considered to be a global threat by all governments. They responded by imposing lockdowns and quarantines. The result was an economic slowdown because many key industries were forced to shut down at least temporarily/

The global feed acidifiers market was no exception. Many of the manufacturers found production dropping dramatically because raw materials were either exorbitantly priced or were in short supply. The manufacturers were forced to pass these higher production costs onto the end consumer in the form of higher prices.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

The middle classes in developing nations are exploding. As these people get richer, they want to consume food that is higher in fat, protein, and calories. Hence, they want to eat more meat and poultry products. This is what is fueling growth in the global feed acidifiers market.In developed nations, people prefer to eat out a lot (often times every day.) They want to eat foods that contain meat. This is also another key driver.

Opportunities:

There is a lot of money to be made in the global feed acidifiers market. This is motivating many companies to invest heavily in research and development in the attempt to create a new generation of global feed acidifiers that are more effective in regularizing the guts of livestock. The encapsulation technique is also creating many opportunities for these companies.

Restraints:

One of the key restraints that this industry faces is the high cost of feed acidifiers. Many individual farmers who own family farms will be unable to afford these expensive feed acidifiers. Only the larger corporate farms will be able to buy these acidifiers. This will restrict the growth rate in terms of market size and pace for many years.

Challenges:

It’s not hard or expensive to make substitutes to feed acidifiers. These substitutes are often equally effective. Many individual farmers and smaller farm owners will continue to buy these substitutes out of the desire to keep the price of meat and poultry down for the end consumer

Cumulative growth analysis:

The global feed acidifiers markethas a current CAGR of 4.9%. This is expected to continue for the next six years (until the end of 2027.) The market is expected to be worth US $3.109.11 million by then.

Technology Analysis:

Kemin Industries is a major player in the global feed acidifiers market. This American company has been engaging heavily in research and development. They have thus developed many products to improve the gut health of poultry. One of these is Aleta. This is a feed acidifier that’s largely comprised of Beta-Glucans.

It’s not hard for someone with some money to invest in feed acidifiers and start selling these products to farmers and farms. Given this reality, companies have relied more on research and development to develop a new generation of higher-quality feed acidifiers that are much more effective. They know that this is the smartest strategy to make because they can only lower prices so much and still stay in business. They are also aware that farmers and farm owners are willing to pay more for the new generation of feed acidifiers.

These companies are also forging partnerships and entering into mergers and acquisitions. Their objective is to remain competitive and make more money by entrenching their positions in existing markets. They also want to have an easier time entering into new markets. Joint ventures make this process much easier.
