Summary

Overview
Global Poultry Feed Acidulants Market reached US$ 3.82 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 6.27 billion by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
As concerns about antibiotic use are rising, consumer preferences for antibiotic-free products continue to grow. Poultry producers are seeking out alternative options to maintain poultry health and growth. Poultry feed acidulants offer a viable solution by promoting gut health, reducing the need for antibiotics, and supporting the development of antibiotic-free poultry products.
Research into the gut health of poultry and its impact on overall performance is driving the use of feed additives that support a balanced gut microbiome. Poultry feed acidulants contribute to creating an optimal gut environment by maintaining a slightly acidic pH, which can improve nutrient absorption, digestion, and immune function.
Asia-Pacific contributes to a significant share in the poultry feed acidulants market growth. According to the India Journal of Animal Health, in India, 3.8 million tons of poultry meat is produced from 3000 million broilers per year. The increasing demand for poultry products such as meat and eggs in the country has led to expansion in poultry production which is driving the poultry feed acidulants in that region.
Dynamics
High Threat of Disease in Poultry
Poultry are susceptible to various diseases, including bacterial and viral infections that can impact their health and mortality rates. According to the National Library of Medicine, there was a study conducted in six intensive and three semi-intensive poultry farms in the Shebedino and Dale districts of the Sidama Region, The result showed that 58.18 and 0.21 deaths per 1000 chicken weeks at risk represented the highest and lowest incidence rates of mortality, respectively.
Acidulants added to poultry feed can create an environment in the digestive tract that is less favorable for the growth and proliferation of harmful pathogens. By supporting gut health, acidulants can contribute to disease prevention and overall poultry health. Acidulants can help optimize nutrient utilization by improving the digestibility of feed components, thereby enhancing feed efficiency.
Increasing Consumption of Poultry Meat
Poultry meat, including chicken and turkey, has become a popular and affordable source of animal protein globally. According to FAO, world meat markets for the period 2021-30, poultry meat consumption is expected to rise to 152 Mt globally throughout the forecast period, making up 52% of the increased meat consumed. This higher demand puts pressure on poultry producers to enhance production efficiency, leading to an increased need for optimized poultry feed formulations.
Poultry feed acidulants, such as organic acids and acid salts, can enhance the digestibility of nutrients in feed, leading to improved feed efficiency. When poultry can efficiently utilize the nutrients in their feed, they require less feed to achieve the same level of growth and production. This not only reduces feed costs for poultry producers but also supports sustainable and resource-efficient poultry farming.
Ban of Antibiotics
The restriction of antibiotics in animal feed, including poultry, has created a need for alternative strategies to maintain poultry health, promote growth, and ensure food safety. More than 300 million caged farm animals and 7.2 billion meat birds are produced annually in Europe. The majority of these animals suffer in factory farms where they are given antibiotics in their food or water to protect them from succumbing to disease as a result of cruel treatment. On January 28, 2022, a new law enacted by the European Union that ban routine antibiotic feeding of farmed animals come into force.
Concerns about antibiotic resistance and the potential transfer of antibiotic residues to food products have led to the ban or restrictions on antibiotics in animal feed in various regions. This has created a demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives that can ensure animal health and production while complying with stricter regulations. Poultry feed acidulants offer a solution that aligns with these concerns, driving their adoption.
High Prices of Feed Acidulants
Poultry feed acidulants can incur additional costs for poultry producers, including the cost of purchasing the additives and potential research and development expenses associated with optimizing their use. In some cases, the perceived benefits might not outweigh the added costs, particularly for smaller or cost-sensitive operations.
High prices of feed acidulants can make them less cost-effective for poultry producers. When the cost of incorporating acidulants into feed formulations becomes prohibitively high, producers may seek alternative feed additives or strategies to achieve similar results. This can hinder the adoption of acidulants and limit their market growth.
Segment Analysis
The global poultry feed acidulants market is segmented based on type, form, compound, distribution channel, function and region.
Rising Demand For Formic acid for Controlling Pathogen
Formic acid possesses antimicrobial properties which can help control the growth of pathogens like Salmonella spp. in poultry feed. These pathogens can negatively impact poultry health and food safety. According to the National Library of Medicine, a survey was conducted to gather information on disease incidence and the number of dead chickens. Of the respondents, 86.1% reported experiencing a poultry disease in the previous year. The use of formic acid, in poultry feed is believed to positively influence growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, and immune function, leading to improved production metrics.
Formic acid can help in regulating the pH of the digestive tract in poultry. Maintaining an optimal pH environment can enhance nutrient absorption and support overall gut health. In response to growing concerns about antibiotic resistance, organic acids have been investigated as alternatives to antibiotics in promoting animal health and growth.
Geographical Penetration
Asia-Pacific Growing Poultry Meat Consumption
The poultry industry has grown substantially in the Asia-Pacific area due to various factors including population increase, urbanization, and rising disposable incomes. According to FAO predictions, in 2022, China produced 24 MMT of poultry meat, closely followed by the United States at about 23 MMT and Brazil at 15 MMT. This rising poultry meat consumption rises the demand for poultry feed and additives, including acidulants to support poultry production.
There is a growing focus on the animal feed industry in Asia-Pacific. In July 2022, AB Agri opened an animal feed manufacturing mill of 240,000 capacity in China to expand production capacity in that region. The growing animal feed industry is boosting various feed additives including poultry feed acidulants in that region.
Urbanization in the Asia-Pacific region has led to an increased demand for processed and convenient foods, including poultry products. Poultry farming has become an essential part of the food supply chain to meet urban consumers' needs, creating a substantial market for feed additives like acidulants.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID Impact
The pandemic led to disruptions in global supply chains, including those related to feed additives. Restrictions on movement, lockdowns, and reduced workforce availability have affected the production, distribution, and availability of feed acidulants, potentially leading to supply shortages or delays.
During the pandemic, there is a shift in consumer behavior, including changes in food consumption patterns. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the poultry industry, as a result of the lockdown and also because of rumors that chickens and their products would spread the disease. The decreasing demand for poultry meat during the pandemic reduced poultry production which impacted the demand for feed acidulants.
Russia- Ukraine War Impact
The conflict led to disruptions in trade routes, transportation networks, and logistics infrastructure, it affected the availability and distribution of feed ingredients, including feed acidulants. Supply chain disruptions lead to delays or shortages, which impacted the production of animal feed and ultimately influence the demand for feed acidulants.
