Feed Acidulants Market Overview

Feed acidulants market is projected to register a CAGR of 6.80% and reach a value of USD 4.56 billion by 2030. Feed acidulants are substances that are added to animal feed to enhance flavor, consistency, shelf life, and solubility rate. They act as buffer components in feed formulations by lowering the pH level and enhancing feed solubility. The global feed acidulants market is expected to register a significant growth rate during the forecast period owing to the high consumption of animal-based products, increasing awareness regarding the importance of healthy livestock feed, and government initiatives to promote the animal feed industry. However, the rising prices of feed acidulants are hampering the growth of the market.



Prominent players in the market are focusing on product innovation and geographic expansion as key strategies to gain a competitive edge over rivals. Feed acidulant manufacturers are focusing on launching organic products to cater to the rising demand for organic products. For instance, in July 2021, BASF SE launched Lupro-Cid NA, a low-corrosive organic acid that helps in obtaining high-quality silage. Moreover, the adoption of encapsulation technology in the animal feed industry is expected to offer profitable opportunities to market players in the coming years.
