The North America feed anticoccidials market was valued at US$ 293.76 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 353.79 million by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 2.4% from 2023 to 2031.
Increase in Livestock Production Fuels North America Feed Anticoccidials Market
Industrial livestock production has undergone a significant transformation owing to increasing demand for meat-based products and dairy products. Animal protein accounts for 16% of energy and 34% of the protein in human diets. Livestock production also accounts for ~19% of the value of food production and 30% of the global value of agriculture. The demand for livestock products is driven by changing lifestyles and food preferences, increasing urbanization, growing income, and the rapidly rising world population. With burgeoning livestock demand, the consumption of protein-rich meat products is upsurging. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), worldwide meat protein consumption is predicted to increase by 14% by 2030.
World milk production is expected to rise by 1.6% annually between 2020 and 2029 and reach 997 million metric tons by 2029, according to a report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and FAO. Thus, with the increasing consumption of livestock products such as meat and milk, the production of healthy livestock is increasing across the globe. The rising production has encouraged manufacturers to focus on the feed given to the livestock.
As shown in the following figure, according to the FAO, the total meat production globally was 235.06 million metric tons in 2001, significantly increasing to 354.82 million metric tons in 2021. Poultry production accounted for a notable growth of 93% from 2001 to 2021.

The growth in livestock production is likely to create a demand for feed anticoccidials to fight against diseases such as coccidiosis. Livestock farmers are also concerned about the health of livestock. Thus, they are adopting various strategies to fight against diseases and investing in feed antibiotics such as anticoccidials. These feed anticoccidials are significantly used as a poultry feed additive. They are also used in the feed of swine, ruminants, and aquaculture. Thus, the upsurging livestock production drives the feed anticoccidial market growth.
North America Feed Anticoccidials Market Overview
The US feed anticoccidials market is growing due to significant demand in the poultry sector. Anticoccidials are crucial in preventing and treating coccidiosis, a disease caused by coccidia parasites that affect animal intestines. The increasing consumption of poultry meat and eggs and growing awareness about animal health drive the feed anticoccidials market. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service report from January 2022, the US leads as the world's largest producer of poultry meat and eggs.
Technological advancements and strict animal feed safety regulations have led to the development of innovative products with fewer side effects, significantly expanding the market. Major US companies are investing in research and development to develop more effective and sustainable anticoccidial compounds. Companies in the US are introducing technologies to enhance the health of their livestock population to meet the increasing demand for meat products. For instance, in April 2024, Amlan International introduced Phylox, a natural anticoccidial product for the animal health market. This proprietary blend of phytochemicals is a unique solution for coccidiosis, demonstrating Amlan's commitment to enhancing gut health and feed efficiency for producers in the animal health market.
