Feed Binders Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028, Segmented By Type (Lignosulfonates, Plant Gums and Starches, Molasses, Clay, Others), By Livestock (Poultry, Ruminants, Swine, Aquatic Animals, Others), By Nature (Natural, Synthetic), By Region and Competition

Global Feed Binders market is anticipated to grow significantly through 2028 due to the growing demand for compound feed. In 2021, the compound feed production in South Korea amounted to approximately 19 million tonnes.

Global Feed Binders market is expected to expand during the projected period due to increasing demand for compound feed, as rising awareness regarding animal nutrition the demand for pelleted feed also increases, resulting in the increased use of feed binders in animal feed. Feed Binders improve animal performance and disease control, coupled with better material handling characteristics. Therefore, the use of feed binders in animal feed is projected to increase its demand in the upcoming years.

Growing Demand for Compound Feed

Animals still make a substantial contribution to the global food supply. However, as a component of the integrated food system, animal feeds have become more significant. A significant portion of meeting consumer demand for milk, meat, eggs, and other livestock products depends on the availability of consistent supply of suitable, economical, and secure animal feeds. As a result, there is a growing need for more feed supplies, sources, and alternatives due to the huge growth in the demand for livestock products. The expanding world population is a major argument for searching for simpler, more accessible, and alternative sources for the production of animal feed. Proper dietary strength is one of the costliest feed formulation ingredients in animal diets. To create proper compound feed for different animal species, as well as maintain pellet integrity, feed binders such as lignosulfonates, plant gums and starches, molasses, and clay are products that are used to bind, glue, or hold the various feed ingredients together. Due to their enhancing feed nutritive value, reduced feed wastage, and improved digestion in animals, feed binders have therefore attracted fresh interest in the animal feed business.

In addition, manufacturers are improving their quality and safety while maintaining their cost-effectiveness in response to the increased demand for safe and nutrient-rich animal feed. The use of feed binders in animal feed helps make feed easily consumable and water stable.

For instance, according to the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF),  annual compound feed production has reached 1 billion tonnes, globally.

According to IFIF, global commercial feed manufacturing generates an estimated annual turnover of over USD 400 billion.

Furthermore, in 2022, as per the Agri-Food Outlook 2022 report, from Alltech, the amount of compound feed production carried out all over the world in 2020 was 1096 million tonnes and it reached 1121 million tonnes in 2021.

However, increasing demand for aquaculture feed plays a vital role. To take advantage of the rising trend, major companies have concentrated on feed binders' development and production. Market expansion for items generated from animals, particularly fish and fish products, as well as rising consumer demand for animal protein, have further accelerated market growth.

For instance, Skretting, a division of Dutch group Nutreco, has inaugurated a new high-end production facility for shrimp and fish feed in Mangrol, Surat in February 2023.

Feed binders are used in nutrition of animals to enhance the eminence of the feed for animals. As a result, it is becoming a practical and affordable method for increasing animal output for long-term food security. Therefore, increasing demand for feed binders by animal feed producers led to the growth of Global Feed Binders market in the forecast years.

Growing Awareness Regarding Animal Nutrients

Increasing understanding of animal nutrition is a reference to the significance of giving animals a well-balanced meal that satisfies their dietary requirements. A variety of causes, such as improvements in scientific studies on animal nutrition, worries about the suffering of animals used in agriculture, and rising interest in premium animal products, have contributed to this understanding.

Animal nutrition is essential for generating safe and wholesome food for human consumption as well as for preserving the well-being and efficiency of animals. A balanced diet for animals has the ideal ratio of protein, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins, according to each species and stage of development's particular requirements.

In recent years, a growing understanding of the need of providing animals with food that promotes normal eating habits and is free of hazardous chemicals, has risen. As a result, new feeding techniques and items have been created, including vitamins and plant-based proteins that can enhance an animal's immune system and general health.

In order to produce more high-quality animal products, such as milk, eggs, meat and meat products, animal producers are being encouraged. This is expected to result in a greater use of nutritious feed binders when making animal feed. Certain binders such as wheat gluten, or starches, contain nutritional qualities that are advantageous to animals. Moreover, it is anticipated that the feed binder's multifunctionality will increase its use in the production of animal feed. For instance, using feed binders can improve the nutritional content of feed, cut down on feed waste, and improve animal digestion.

For instance, Bonaventure produce Molastik, a pellet binding agent made from molasses which bind the feed ingredients into harder, more durable range blocks, cubes or pellets and containing Calcium: 41.00%, Iron (% Bioavailable): 5.00%, Potassium: 0.20%, Zinc: 0.06%, Copper: 0.02%, Manganese: 0.04%.

In addition, agribusiness practices have changed as a result of the increased public knowledge of animal nutrition, with many farmers and producers choosing to raise their animals in more environmentally friendly and compassionate ways.

Therefore, the addition of nutrients in the feed of animals, either directly or in the form of binder, drives the growth of Global Feed Binders market during the projected period.

Lignosulfonates Will be the Key Type

Lignosulfonates are a byproduct of the paper and pulp industry and are commonly used as feed binders in animal nutrition. A feed binder is an ingredient added to animal feed to help hold the feed together and prevent it from falling apart. Lignosulfonates are effective binders because they have the ability to bind with both organic and inorganic materials, including proteins, carbohydrates, and minerals. This helps to improve the structural integrity of the feed and prevent it from crumbling or breaking apart.

In addition to their binding properties, lignosulfonates also have some nutritional benefits for animals. They contain a variety of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which can help support healthy bone growth and overall health.

For Instance, Green Agrochem produced various type of lignosulfonate such as sodium lignosulfonate, calcium lignosulfonate, ammonium lignosulfonate, magnesium lignosulfonate, potassium lignosulfonate, chrome lignosulfonate, which are used as animal feed pellet binder.

Furthermore, starches are also used as feed binders in animal nutrition. They have the ability to absorb moisture and form a gel-like substance that binds with other feed ingredients which make them more effective. Binders help to improve the structural integrity of the feed and prevent it from falling apart. In addition to their binding properties, starches also provide a source of energy for animals. They are a complex carbohydrate that can be broken down by digestive enzymes in the animal's gut and used for fuel. Some types of starch, such as corn or wheat starch, are more commonly used as feed binders than others.

For instance, Visco Starch produces a feed binder for Fish which is made from Corn, Tapioca or Potato having superior adhesion and expansion properties and act as a natural binder.

All these factors increase the demand of global Feed Binders market in the forecast years.

However, the high cost of feed binders makes it expensive for the buyers. Therefore, buyers select binders with high cohesive properties to reduce the cost of inclusion, along reducing the cost of feed materials, ultimately resulting in restraining the growth of market. Moreover, it is anticipated that the government's stringent regulatory ban & restriction poses challenges to industry players, thereby slowing down the market growth.
