Asia-pacific Feed Vitamins Market Trends

The growing disposable income in developing countries of Asia-Pacific and government support schemes for poultry industry, and China is largest producer of eggs are helping in growth of poultry population in the region

• The Asia-Pacific region dominates the global agricultural sector, with poultry as the largest industry, accounting for 42.4% of global poultry production in 2022. The increase in poultry consumption is driven by a rise in popularity, rapid urbanization, and growing disposable incomes in developing countries such as India and Vietnam, which resulted in the region recording a 37.3% increase in poultry population in 2021 from 2017.
• In 2021, China, Indonesia, and India held significant shares of the Asia-Pacific poultry market, amounting to 39.7%, 25.3%, and 5.7%, respectively. This growth in demand for poultry products can be attributed to increased demand for eggs and meat and increasing government schemes to support the poultry industry. For instance, India's Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairy is introducing capital fund schemes to support poultry businesses and educate farmers on improving their yield quality, which will boost the market growth.
• China is the largest producer of eggs in the world, with its production accounting for over 40% of global production. With over 900 million stock-laying hens and the country's largest layer poultry farming center hatching 60 million chicks per year, layer farming has recorded significant growth in the country.
• Broiler production in the region is also rapidly growing due to the increased consumer demand for chicken meat. The Philippines, for instance, recorded a 2.2% increase in chicken meat production in 2021 from 2017. As such, the region's poultry production is expected to increase further, driven by a shift in consumer preferences toward poultry meat and the rapid development of the poultry industry. This growth in poultry production is expected to lead to an increase in demand for feed additives.

Improvement in fish farming technologies, expansion in number of feed mills and Indian government initiatives are helping in increasing the aquaculture feed production

• The Asia-Pacific region is a significant player in the global aquaculture feed production market, with fish and shrimp being the primary products. In 2021, the region produced 37.6 million metric ton of aquaculture feed, which accounted for 8.7% of the region's total feed production. Several countries in the region are focusing on expanding their aquaculture production and integrating technological advancements amid the increased use of feed to meet the growing demand.
• India, for instance, increased its budget allocation to the Department of Fisheries to boost production. Fish accounts for a significant share of aquaculture feed, amounting to 31.1 million metric ton in 2022, an increase of 66% compared to 2017. This growth was due to the conversion of agricultural land to aquaculture ponds, the improvement of fish farming technologies, and the intensification of production.
• Shrimp feed production accounted for 4.2% of the aquafeed production in the region in 2022, and its share is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period as some countries in the region have started implementing self-sufficient aquaculture systems with the assistance of several government initiatives to increase the production of certified sustainable seafood.
• China dominates the aquaculture feed market in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for 51.2% of the market share in 2022 due to an increase in the number of feed mills with higher capacities. For instance, AB Agri has opened its ninth feed mill in China, a plant with an annual capacity of 240,000 ton. Factors such as an increase in aquaculture production, expansion of aqua farming, and rise in feed consumption are expected to drive aquafeed production in the region during the forecast period.
