Feed Acidulants Demand Being Propelled by a Combination of Factors to Reach US$4.5 B by 2032

Saturday Jan 10, 2026

Industry Experts, Inc., has released its latest report, Feed Acidulants - A Global Market Overview, according to which the global market for the same is estimated at US$3.1 billion in 2025 and is expected to maintain a 2025-2032 CAGR of 5.6% and reach a projected US$4.5 billion by 2032.

Some of the key factors driving demand for Feed Acidulants include growing restrictions & bans on antibiotic growth promoters, rising focus on gut health & disease prevention through pH reduction & control of pathogenic bacteria, increasing demand for residue-free, safe & high-quality meat, dairy & seafood products and advancements in blended & buffered feed acidulant formulations with broader efficacy and easier application.

Accounting for an estimated 2025 share of 40.5% and a forecast 2025-2032 CAGR of 6.5%, Asia-Pacific forms the largest, as also the fastest growing, global market for Feed Acidulants. The region is home to among the largest livestock and poultry populations in the world, with production being led by countries, such as China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. As a result, there is a constant and high demand for feed additives such as acidulants that can support growth, efficiency, and product quality. The expanding poultry sector, particularly broiler and egg production, is a major driver of acidulant use for enhancing gut health and feed conversion ratios. Consumption of meat, dairy products and eggs has increased substantially in Asia-Pacific, fueled by population growth, urbanization, rising incomes, and changing dietary preferences. This has, hence, boosted the requirement for high-quality animal feed with acidulants to improve performance and meet safety standards. The restriction or phasing out of antibiotics in feed across several countries in the region is compelling manufacturers to adopt acidulants as natural antimicrobial alternatives for maintaining animal health and product safety.

The share of Asia-Pacific in global aquaculture production is quite large, and as acidulants are finding wide application for controlling digestion and improving digestion in fish and shrimp feeds, demand for the same keeps rising. The presence of a number of regional and multinational feed additive producers, offering cost-competitive solutions, is further augmenting Asia-Pacific’s standing on the global stage. Government schemes and industry initiatives that target modernizing livestock farms and improving feed quality are encouraging use of advanced acidulant products. Availability of lower-cost raw materials and comparatively reasonable manufacturing/labor costs are assisting local producers to compete globally, along with expanding domestic acidulant use. A strong base of exporting feed and livestock products, especially poultry and aquaculture, from Asia-Pacific pushes feed formulators to adopt acidulants to meet international quality and safety standards.

The report studies the Feed Acidulants market across all major regions including North America (The United States, Canada and Mexico), Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, The United Kingdom and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea and Rest of Asia-Pacific), South America (Argentina, Brazil and Rest of South America) and Rest of World.

The market for types of Feed Acidulants analyzed in this report includes Citric Acid, Formic Acid, Lactic Acid, Propionic Acid, Sorbic Acid and Other Types (Primarily including Acetic Acid, Fumaric Acid, Malic Acid & Phosphoric Acid). The study also examines the market for Feed Acidulants by compound, comprising Blended and Single, with Forms analyzed including Dry Feed and Liquid Feed. The functions of Feed Acidulants as analyzed in this report include Feed Efficiency, Flavor Enhancement and pH Control, while the Animal Types utilizing Feed Acidulants analyzed comprise Aquaculture, Equine, Pets, Poultry, Ruminants and Swine.
