Global Animal Feed Antioxidants Market is Expected to Reach USD 216.8 Million by 2018: Transparency Market Research

Transparency Market Research has released a new market report titled "Natural and Synthetic (Ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT)Animal Feed Antioxidants Market for Swine, Poultry, Cattle and Aquaculture - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," which observes that the animal feed antioxidants demand was over USD 162.0 million in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 216.8 million by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2012 to 2018.

Browse the full report at: 

The global animal feed antioxidants market is witnessing growth due to rise in global meat consumption. Moreover, increasing concerns regarding safety of the feed and animal health has resulted in a surge in demand for feed antioxidants. Therefore, the animal feed antioxidant market in terms of volume is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2012 to 2018.

Demand for animal feed antioxidants was highest in the poultry segment which occupied 34.0% share in the global market in 2011, followed by pork/swine and cattle sector. The consumption of antioxidants by the poultry segment is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2012 to 2018. These three livestock sectors require plenty of antioxidants in their feed to enhance the feed conversion ratio and to prevent the feed from oxidation to maintain its nutritional value and are expected to maintain their dominance for the next five years.

Asia Pacific accounted for more than 50% of the total animal feed antioxidants market in 2011, followed by North 

America andEurope. Asia Pacific is also estimated to be the fastest growing market both in terms of revenue and volume. This dominance is driven by high feed wastage, on account of the oxidation process due to the humid climate. Thus Asian consumers are constantly looking for newer and better antioxidant feeds which would have a longer shelf life.

There is a changing consumer preference for natural additives over synthetic additives owing to the aspiration of improving overall health, and due to awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic additives. Natural antioxidants are also gaining momentum in the market, driven by the need to replace synthetic and artificial antioxidants to have cleaner and healthier products. In spite of their higher cost and limitation, the market for natural antioxidants is witnessing growth. 

Volume consumption of natural animal feed antioxidants is estimated to exhibit CAGR of 4.0% from 2012 to 2018. The market for synthetic feed antioxidants is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2012 to 2018. Companies such as BASF SE, ADM and Danisco are some of the major players in this market.

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Fish Oil Market for Aquaculture, Direct Human Consumption, Hydrogenation and Industrial Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the global market for fish oil was valued at USD 1.1 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 1.7 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 5.05% from 2012 to 2018. In terms of volume, the demand for fish oil was 1,035 kilo tons in 2011 and is expected to reach 1,130 kilo tons in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 1.22% from 2012 to 2018.


The demand for fish oil is expected to increase owing to the increased demand for omega 3 ingredients. Fish oil is the primary source of omega 3 and with the growing awareness of omega 3 and its benefits; consumers are increasing their intake of omega 3 as part of regular diet. However, the reduced or static production levels of fish oil acts as a major inhibitor for the growth of the market. This situation is expected to escalate due to the uneven frequency of El Nino, which further reduces the overall fishing volumes.

Aquaculture was the largest application segment in 2011, accounting for over 70% of the consumption of oil. Majority of fish oil is consumed in the farming of salmons and trout, which are primarily grown in Chile and Peru. However, direct human consumption (DHC) of fish oil has been increasing over the past five years due to increased awareness among customers regarding the benefits of omega 3.


The leading fish oil producers include EPAX AS, Croda Inc, COPEINCA ASA, Corpesca S.A and Omega Protein Corporation among others. The report contains company profiles of the above mentioned producers along with other major players in the fish oil market.

  • Salmon and Trout
  • Marine Fish
  • Carps
  • Tilapias
  • Others (Eels, mackerels, herrings)


Europe was the largest consumer of fish oil in 2011, with over 450 kilo tons of oil consumed. Asia Pacific and Latin America are expected to be the fastest growing regions in terms of fish oil consumption due to growing aquaculture for carps in China and salmon farms in Chile.
