Emergence of Bird Flu and Increasing Consumption of Vegan Food to Limit Growth of Poultry Feed Market
Poultry
feed is vital food for commercial farm poultry, which includes chickens, geese,
ducks and many other domestic poultry species. It provides the necessary
protein, minerals and vitamins to keep these poultry healthy, safe and
productive. Poultry feed can be made from whole grains, which are better for
your health; some also recommend organic feed if you're concerned about harmful
chemicals or pesticides. While it's good to eat organic produce, make sure you
purchase chicken feed that is free of BSE, which affects millions of chickens
worldwide.
Market Dynamics
Significant
growth in the poultry sector is expected to propel growth
of global poultry feed market. For instance, according to a report in
2019, by the U.S. Poultry and Egg Association, National Chicken Council,
National Turkey Federation and United Egg Producers, the poultry sector
generated US$ 495.1 billion in economic activity and US$ 38.5 billion in
government revenue.
Emergence
of bird flu is expected to hinder growth of the global poultry feed market. For
instance, in January 2021, India recorded several cases of bird flu in major
states. Moreover, increasing consumption of vegan food is also expected to
limit the market growth. For instance, according to The Vegan Society, the
number of people consuming only vegetarian food in the U.K. increased from
276,000 in 2016 to 600,000 in 2019.
Among
regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth in the poultry
feed market, owing to high preference for chicken in the region. For instance, according
to research presented at the 2018 Chicken Marketing Summit, Florida, U.S., 86% of
consumers during a two week survey in the U.S. ate a chicken meal or snack
purchased from a supermarket and 68% ate a chicken meal or snack from a food
service establishment.
Asia
Pacific is also expected to witness significant growth in the poultry feed
market, owing to increasing production of dressed chicken in the region. For
instance, in the Philippines, the production of dressed chicken increased 40%
during 2009-2018, as per the Philippine Statistics Authority.
