Executive Summary

Gluten feed is a by-product derived from the production of wheat, corn, barley, rye, maize starch, and its syrup. It constitutes a medium-protein diet with a total digestible nutrient level closely resembling that of barley.

The primary sources of gluten feed include wheat, corn, barley, rye, maize, and other related grains. Wheat, specifically, is a cereal crop cultivated for food production, providing a fine white flour used in various products such as bread, pasta, and cakes. These grains are available in different types, including organic and conventional varieties, and find applications in diverse sectors such as swine, poultry, cattle, aquaculture, equine, and as feed for pet animals.

The gluten feed market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides gluten feed market statistics, including gluten feed industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a gluten feed market share, detailed gluten feed market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the gluten feed industry. This gluten feed market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The gluten feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.15 billion in 2023 to $1.23 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The expansion of the ethanol industry, the utilization of by-products from the milling industry, efficient use of feed resources, the cost-effectiveness of gluten feed, and its high nutritional value are factors contributing to the growth in the historic period.

The gluten feed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.6 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be ascribed to the global rise in meat consumption, the adoption of gluten feed as an alternative protein source in animal diets, the expansion of the biofuel industry, a focus on sustainable animal agriculture, and the integration of gluten feed in ruminant diets. Major trends in the forecast period encompass research and development in animal nutrition, the pursuit of sustainable animal nutrition solutions, innovation in processing technologies, emphasis on quality assurance and traceability, and the fostering of collaboration and partnerships.

The anticipated growth in the gluten-feed market is attributed to the increasing consumption of meat and dairy products. Meat products encompass items derived from animal tissues and used for consumption, while dairy products are food items obtained from the milk of various animals. Gluten-rich foods play a vital role in animal diets within the meat and dairy industries, providing essential nutrients for high milk production in the dairy sector and supplying high protein and other nutrients for robust muscles in animals in the meat sector. For instance, a November 2021 report from Dairy Foods Magazine indicated that flavored milk sales increased by 4.8% to $1,646.5 million, with unit sales rising by 1.0% to $658.2 million. Additionally, the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) predicts a global increase in meat consumption by 1.7% annually through 2022. Hence, the growing consumption of meat and dairy products propels the gluten-feed market's growth.

The escalating demand in aquaculture is anticipated to drive the gluten-feed market's growth. Aquaculture involves the controlled cultivation of aquatic organisms, including fish, shellfish, algae, and other aquatic plants. Gluten feed, as a valuable protein source, provides essential nutrients, energy, nutrient balance, palatability, and cost-effectiveness crucial for the growth and development of aquatic species. For example, a September 2023 report from the Sea Fish Industry Authority projects aquaculture production to reach 106 million tons by 2030, indicating a 22% total growth or approximately 19 million tons. Therefore, the rising demand in aquaculture contributes to the growth of the gluten-feed market.

The gluten feed market is witnessing a notable trend of product innovations, with major companies striving to introduce new solutions to maintain their market positions. In October 2022, Novozymes, a Denmark-based biotechnology company, unveiled Frontia Gluten Ex, an enzyme designed to enhance wheat gluten protein recovery by 2% from the same volume of raw materials. This innovation is part of Novozymes' Frontia platform, offering enzymatic solutions to assist grain millers in optimizing their operations. Vital wheat gluten (VWG), a valuable protein product derived from wheat separation, finds applications in the baking industry, aquafeed sector, and plant-based protein products. The newly developed enzyme facilitates increased gluten protein recovery for wheat processors by reducing viscosity in their processes, enhancing wheat flour separation, and reducing energy consumption, thereby improving process margins.

Major companies in the gluten feed market are strategically focusing on innovative products, such as keto-friendly baking mixes and gluten-free pizza dough flour, to drive market revenues. The term "keto-friendly" denotes products compatible with the low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet known for its potential in weight loss and overall health improvement. Gluten-free products, on the other hand, are devoid of gluten-containing ingredients. For instance, in June 2022, King Arthur Baking Company, a US-based supplier of flour, baking mixes, ingredients, and baking tools, introduced keto-friendly baking mixes and gluten-free pizza dough flour. The keto-friendly baking mixes include a wheat flour-based pizza crust mix with only 1g of net carbs per serving. The gluten-free pizza dough flour, suitable for paleo and keto diets, is plant-based and free from artificial ingredients, delivering excellent pizza flavor and texture while being easy to prepare.

In May 2022, Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM), a US-based company specializing in animal nutrition, food processing, and commodities, acquired a feed mill from South Sunrays Milling Corp. in the Philippines for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition enables ADM to provide quality animal nutrition products for poultry, swine, and aquaculture under their established brands. South Sunrays Milling Corporation is a Philippines-based company engaged in the manufacturing of corn gluten feed and corn gluten meal.
