Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Poultry Feed Market

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic compelled the implementation of preventive measures that drastically altered the status of the animal feed industry and negatively impacted the growth of the poultry feed market. Governments across the globe have ordered the closure of their international ports, further causing disruptions in the poultry feed supply chain. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the availability of raw materials to prepare poultry feed in almost all countries. Corn and soybeans are the main ingredients in poultry feeds. Many countries worldwide that depend on imports of these raw materials to prepare poultry feed have had substantial problems procuring the ingredients. The availability of poultry feed in most places was difficult due to the shutting down of the feed plants. The worldwide consumption of poultry meat declined drastically. The poultry feed industry has been badly affected by the closure of restaurants across the world. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations, the demand for poultry feed is expected to rise globally. The expanding demand for poultry feed and significant investments by prominent manufacturers are expected to drive the growth of poultry feeds.

Growing Poultry Production

Fuels Poultry Feed Market Growth

The poultry sector is registering a continual rise across the world. Poultry is regarded as one of the most cost-effective protein sources due to which the demand for poultry products, such as eggs and meat, continues to rise. There is a surge in chicken consumption among people who are more concerned about their health. The upswing in the poultry production is catering substantially to the bolstering need for the global population. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the US, the world poultry meat production has increased from 9 to 132 million tons between 1961 and 2019, and egg production has grown from 15 to 90 million tons. The surging poultry production propels the use of quality poultry feed products.

Poultry Type Insights

Based on poultry type, the global poultry feed market is segmented into layers, broilers, turkeys, and others. The broilers segment held the largest share of the market in 2020. Broilers are chickens raised for meat and are fed a high-protein diet to help support rapid growth. Broiler chicken feed comes in different forms, such as mash, pellet, and crumble. India is one of the largest broiler producers with the growing demand for compound feed in the broiler industry. The increasing broiler production will continue to boost the demand for broiler poultry feed during the forecast period.

Form Insights

Based on form, the global poultry feed market is segmented into mashed, pellets, crumbles, and others. The pellets segment held the largest market share in 2020. Pellet feed is made by using steam and pressure to compress mash feed. Mash feed is compressed and molded into hard, dry pellets in a pellet mill. The pellet feed improves growth rate in broilers with an increased feed intake. This is due to increased digestibility, decreased ingredient segregation, and increased palatability. As the ingredients are well mixed in each pellet, pellet feed ensures a well-balanced diet, better feed conversion, and performance in poultry birds. The pellet feed advantages, such as easily digestible feed, a well-balanced diet, and less waste, usually contribute to its high demand.
