In 2018, fish production reached 171 million tonnes, of which 88% was consumed by human beings. However, government restriction on certain feed additives along with the presence of natural feed additives is restraining the feed additive market. Moreover, future-oriented real-time automated systems and technological scientific advancements seem to generate new opportunities during the forecast period.
As the population in Asian and African regions is growing at a high rate, the demand for meat and other animal-based food product is rising rapidly due to rapid improvement in the economy, urbanization, and health awareness. This in turn propels the animal feed additive market to grow at a steady pace in these regions. China is dominating the food additive market in the Asia-pacific region as its major cities further drive economic growth and are major markets of consumer spending. Other than China, countries such as India, Japan, and Vietnam are also performing well in terms of livestock farming and are expected to supplement the market growth in this region.
