Mineral Feed Global Market Report 2026

Mineral feed refers to a substance or a combination of substances designed to primarily provide inorganic nutrition or essential mineral elements to animals that may be lacking in their regular diet. Typically, mineral feed is added to an animal's diet in small quantities to supplement their daily nutrient intake.

The main types of macro minerals in mineral feed include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and others. Calcium, for instance, is a crucial mineral essential for various biological processes such as muscle contraction, nerve function, blood clotting, and bone formation. It is commonly included in animal feed to ensure adequate nutrition, particularly for animals in the growth phase, as it plays a vital role in maintaining strong bones. Micro minerals in mineral feed encompass iron, copper, zinc, and others. These micro minerals find application in the diets of various animals, including ruminants, poultry, swine, aquaculture, and others, contributing to their overall nutritional needs.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the mineral feed market by increasing costs of imported mineral compounds, feed-grade additives, processing equipment, and transportation inputs used across macro and micro mineral formulations. Livestock producers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported mineral sources, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on feed exports. These tariffs are raising feed production costs and influencing pricing for farmers. However, they are also encouraging domestic mineral sourcing, regional feed manufacturing expansion, and improved supply chain resilience.

This mineral 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 mineral feed market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $5.25 billion in 2025 to $5.49 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of commercial livestock farming, increasing awareness of animal health management, growth of compound feed production, availability of mineral supplementation technologies, rising demand for productivity optimization.

The mineral feed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.82 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of precision feeding solutions, rising focus on sustainable animal farming, expansion of aquaculture nutrition demand, growing investments in feed additive innovation, increasing regulatory oversight on feed quality. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing focus on balanced animal nutrition programs, rising demand for trace mineral supplementation, expansion of mineral-enriched feed blends, growing adoption of precision livestock nutrition, enhanced quality control in feed formulation.

The rising demand for animal-based food products is anticipated to drive the growth of the mineral feed market in the coming years. This growing demand leads to higher livestock production, increasing the need for balanced and optimized nutrition to improve animal health, reproductive efficiency, and growth performance. Mineral feeds are essential in fulfilling the specific nutritional needs of livestock, supporting the quality of animal-derived food products, and ensuring adherence to animal welfare requirements. For example, in March 2024, Vegconomist, a US-based vegan business publication covering the plant-based industry, reported that studies show 10-30% of Europeans are obese, prompting many consumers in the UK to shift toward plant-based diets for weight management. Around 40% of consumers expressed interest in plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy, while per capita meat consumption is declining. Despite this trend, the vegan food market in the UK is growing at a rate of 9.58%. Consequently, the continued demand for animal-based food products is supporting the expansion of the mineral feed market.

Leading companies in the mineral feed market are concentrating on the development of innovative solutions, such as precision nutrition modeling tools, to address the growing need for efficient mineral utilization, cost-effective feeding strategies, improved livestock health, and reduced environmental impact. Precision nutrition modeling tools are digital systems designed to calculate precise nutrient requirements for livestock based on diet composition, production levels, and physiological conditions, helping optimize feed efficiency, prevent nutrient imbalances, lower feeding costs, and minimize environmental emissions. For instance, in August 2025, Trouw Nutrition, a Netherlands-based animal nutrition company, introduced a precision model aimed at reducing trace mineral overload in dairy cattle. The model analyzes thousands of dairy rations to assess the natural supply of minerals such as copper, zinc, and manganese from forages and by-products. It identifies situations where base rations already fulfill a substantial portion of mineral requirements, helping avoid excessive supplementation. This approach supports safer mineral inclusion levels, reduces toxicity risks such as copper accumulation, improves nutrient bioavailability, lowers feed costs by eliminating unnecessary additives, and decreases mineral excretion to promote environmental sustainability.

In July 2025, Cargill Incorporated, a US-based food and agriculture company, acquired Mig Plus Nutricao Animal Ltda. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Cargill aims to strengthen its swine and ruminant nutrition portfolio and expand its presence in Brazil's animal nutrition market. Mig Plus Nutricao Animal Ltda. is a Brazil-based company specializing in premixes, feed concentrates, and complete feed solutions for livestock producers.
