Amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition are fundamental molecular components comprising an acidic carboxyl group (-COOH), a basic amino group (-NH2), and an organic R group or side chain. These molecules serve as the building blocks for proteins, which are crucial for the growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in the body. Proteins, being large and complex molecules, are essential for various life processes and consist of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
The main types of amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition include lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, and others. Lysine, for instance, is an essential amino acid that plays a vital role, particularly in the nutrition of livestock and poultry. These amino acids and proteins are available in various forms such as dry and liquid, catering to the nutritional needs of different animals, including ruminants, poultry, swine, pets, equine, aquaculture, and others.
Tariffs have impacted the amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market by increasing costs of imported raw materials, fermentation intermediates, and finished amino acids, affecting feed production economics. Poultry, swine, and aquaculture segments in regions such as Asia-Pacific and Europe are most affected due to heavy reliance on cross-border supply chains. However, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing expansion, diversification of sourcing strategies, and investment in alternative protein and amino acid production, supporting long-term supply stability.
The amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market statistics, including amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market share, detailed amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition industry. This amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition 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 amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.04 billion in 2025 to $8.56 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in global livestock production, rising awareness of animal nutrition requirements, increasing adoption of compound feed, proven benefits of amino acid supplementation, expansion of commercial animal farming.
The amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.32 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for high-quality animal protein, increasing focus on sustainable feed formulations, growth in aquaculture and pet nutrition segments, advancements in amino acid production technologies, increasing demand for precision nutritio. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for balanced animal nutrition, increasing use of essential amino acids in feed formulations, growing focus on feed efficiency and performance optimization, expansion of protein-enriched diets for livestock, increasing adoption of customized feed solutions.
The rise in animal feed production is anticipated to drive the growth of amino acids and proteins within the animal nutrition market in the future. Animal feed production involves creating feed for various animals, including livestock, poultry, and fish, to enhance their growth, health, and productivity. This process utilizes a range of ingredients, such as grains, oilseeds, and protein sources like amino acids and proteins, to formulate a balanced diet for animals. Amino acids and proteins are crucial in animal feed, serving as the fundamental components for muscle and tissue development, along with other essential functions. For example, the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, a statutory levy board in the UK, reported that poultry feed production totaled 3,434.1 million tons in 2022-2023, increasing to 3,567.5 million tons in 2023-2024, representing a 3.9% rise. Therefore, the growth in animal feed production is contributing to the expansion of amino acids and proteins in the animal nutrition market.
Major players in the amino acids and proteins for animal nutrition market are also focused on introducing advanced solutions, such as new sources of lysine for livestock feeds, to gain a competitive edge. Lysine, an essential amino acid for livestock, plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, optimizing animal growth, increasing milk production, and strengthening animals' immunity. For instance, in May 2023, Evonik Industries AG, a Germany-based specialty chemicals company, launched an updated Biolys with a higher concentration of the amino acid L-lysine. The new formulation contains 62.4% L-lysine, compared to the present version with 60% L-lysine. The fermentation process of the product yields additional nutrients and energy beneficial to livestock such as pigs and poultry. This aligns with Evonik's commitment to using minimal natural resources to meet the increasing demand for premium animal protein in human nutrition.
In a strategic move in January 2023, Novus International Inc., a US-based animal health and nutrition company, acquired Agrivida Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition provides Novus International Inc. with ownership of the INTERIUS technology, focused on developing embedded feed additives inside the grain. This strategic acquisition enhances Novus International Inc.'s capabilities in providing innovative solutions to optimize efficiency and address food production challenges in a sustainable manner. Agrivida Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, specializes in creating and commercializing a new generation of nutrition and enzyme solutions for livestock feeding.
