- In 2022, feed amino acids accounted for approximately 24.7% of the African feed additives market, which experienced more than 7.5% growth from 2017 to 2022. However, there was a sudden dip in 2019 due to inflation in some countries, such as Sudan, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, resulting in reduced market share, particularly in South Africa. The per capita consumption of meat, particularly lamb meat, was reduced by 16.5% in 2019, leading to a decrease in market share.
- South Africa dominated the African market for feed amino acids, valued at around USD 167 million in 2022, followed by Egypt with USD 78.3 million. The high adoption of feed additives in animal diets drove the consumption of feed amino acids in South Africa. Poultry birds accounted for the majority of the market share in the African market for feed amino acids, with 57.1%, followed by ruminants with 28.9% in 2022. The demand for poultry meat is high in some African countries, such as South Africa and Egypt, which accounted for 18% of the region's poultry birds raised in 2021.
- In 2022, Africa produced approximately 131 million metric tons of compound feed for all animal types, with South Africa accounting for more than 29% of the share. It was due to the presence of a significant animal population in the country, as the country accounted for more than 8% of the region's poultry birds in 2021.
- With the increasing demand for meat and growing awareness of healthy diets in animal feeds, the usage of feed amino acids has increased, leading to strong market growth in the region. The market is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period.

The increasing per capita consumption of poultry meat and eggs with higher profit margins which is increasing the poultry production in Africa region
- The African poultry industry plays an important role in commercial activities and in providing quality protein to subsistence farmers and rural communities. Poultry birds accounted for 61.5% of the total animal headcount in Africa in 2022, primarily due to the rising demand for poultry meat and eggs in the region. The number of poultry birds increased by 8.8% from 2017 to 2.2 billion heads in 2022, largely driven by the growth of poultry farms in the region.
- Among the poultry birds, broilers were highly raised due to the increasing demand for meat in the region. In South Africa, chicken meat production increased from 1,570 thousand metric tons in 2021 to 1,577 thousand metric tons in 2022 as major producers invested in the industry to capitalize on higher international and domestic poultry prices and profit margins.
- The African poultry industry is expanding due to the growing demand for poultry products from key importing countries, leading to increased investments in poultry farming. For example, in 2021, Quantum Foods, one of South Africa's largest poultry producers, invested over USD 14 million in its poultry operations, including constructing hatcheries and upgrading broiler farms to boost productivity.
- The per capita consumption of poultry meat in South Africa rose to 35.09 kg in 2022 from 33.7 kg in 2017 and is expected to grow by 7.5% during the forecast period (2023-2029), driven by the increasing prices of other animal proteins like beef and lamb. These factors are projected to increase the number of farms and headcount during the forecast period (2023-2029).

Expansion of integrated fish farming and development of inland fisheries is increasing the demand for compound aqua feed
- Aquaculture farming has become one of the largest industries in the agricultural sector in many countries across Africa. Due to unfavorable climatic conditions and a reduction in fish catch, the usage of compound feed in the region decreased by 60% in 2019 compared to the previous year. Nevertheless, the increase in freshwater and marine aquaculture farming in the region has caused a surge in demand for compound feed, which grew by 152% from 2019 to reach 1.5 million metric tons in 2022. Despite this increase, aquaculture feed production only accounted for 4.3% of the total feed production in the region in 2022.
- The rise in aquaculture production in recent years is credited to a significant expansion in the application of nutritional feed, such as the use of extruded feed and improved farm management practices, as well as an increase in investments, which led to a 1.3% increase in the production of compound feed from 2020 to 2022. For example, the Egyptian aquaculture feed industry has undergone rapid development, with a shift from conventionally pelleted feeds (10%) to high-quality extruded feeds (90%). The Fish Farming Development Fund and similar government schemes in other countries, such as Nigeria, are expected to drive aquaculture farming in the region, thereby increasing feed production.
- Egypt's fisheries and aquaculture development plan aims to increase fish production to 3 million metric tons by 2025 through the expansion of integrated fish farming, development of inland fisheries, and mega-national productions. Therefore, an increase in aquaculture production, a rise in the usage of high-quality extruded feed, and an increase in investments are expected to drive feed production in the region.

Market Definition
- FUNCTIONS - For the study, feed additives are considered to be commercially manufactured products that are used to enhance characteristics such as weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and feed intake when fed in appropriate proportions.
- RESELLERS - Companies engaged in reselling feed additives without value addition have been excluded from the market scope, to avoid double counting.
- END CONSUMERS - Compound feed manufacturers are considered to be end-consumers in the market studied. The scope excludes farmers buying feed additives to be used directly as supplements or premixes.
- INTERNAL COMPANY CONSUMPTION - Companies engaged in the production of compound feed as well as the manufacturing of feed additives are part of the study. However, while estimating the market sizes, the internal consumption of feed additives by such companies has been excluded.
| Keyword | Definition |
|---|---|
| Feed additives | Feed additives are products used in animal nutrition for purposes of improving the quality of feed and the quality of food from animal origin, or to improve the animals’ performance and health. |
| Probiotics | Probiotics are microorganisms introduced into the body for their beneficial qualities. (It maintains or restores beneficial bacteria to the gut). |
| Antibiotics | Antibiotic is a drug that is specifically used to inhibit the growth of bacteria. |
| Prebiotics | A non-digestible food ingredient that promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines. |
| Antioxidants | Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit oxidation, a chemical reaction that produces free radicals. |
| Phytogenics | Phytogenics are a group of natural and non-antibiotic growth promoters derived from herbs, spices, essential oils, and oleoresins. |
| Vitamins | Vitamins are organic compounds, which are required for normal growth and maintenance of the body. |
| Metabolism | A chemical process that occurs within a living organism in order to maintain life. |
| Amino acids | Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and play an important role in metabolic pathways. |
| Enzymes | Enzyme is a substance that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. |
| Anti-microbial resistance | The ability of a microorganism to resist the effects of an antimicrobial agent. |
| Anti-microbial | Destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. |
| Osmotic balance | It is a process of maintaining salt and water balance across membranes within the body's fluids. |
| Bacteriocin | Bacteriocins are the toxins produced by bacteria to inhibit the growth of similar or closely related bacterial strains. |
| Biohydrogenation | It is a process that occurs in the rumen of an animal in which bacteria convert unsaturated fatty acids (USFA) to saturated fatty acids (SFA). |
| Oxidative rancidity | It is a reaction of fatty acids with oxygen, which generally causes unpleasant odors in animals. To prevent these, antioxidants were added. |
| Mycotoxicosis | Any condition or disease caused by fungal toxins, mainly due to contamination of animal feed with mycotoxins. |
| Mycotoxins | Mycotoxins are toxin compounds that are naturally produced by certain types of molds (fungi). |
| Feed Probiotics | Microbial feed supplements positively affect gastrointestinal microbial balance. |
| Probiotic yeast | Feed yeast (single-cell fungi) and other fungi used as probiotics. |
| Feed enzymes | They are used to supplement digestive enzymes in an animal’s stomach to break down food. Enzymes also ensure that meat and egg production is improved. |
| Mycotoxin detoxifiers | They are used to prevent fungal growth and to stop any harmful mold from being absorbed in the gut and blood. |
| Feed antibiotics | They are used both for the prevention and treatment of diseases but also for rapid growth and development. |
| Feed antioxidants | They are used to protect the deterioration of other feed nutrients in the feed such as fats, vitamins, pigments, and flavoring agents, thus providing nutrient security to the animals. |
| Feed phytogenics | Phytogenics are natural substances, added to livestock feed to promote growth, aid in digestion, and act as anti-microbial agents. |
| Feed vitamins | They are used to maintain the normal physiological function and normal growth and development of animals. |
| Feed flavors and sweetners | These flavors and sweeteners help to mask tastes and odors during changes in additives or medications and make them ideal for animal diets undergoing transition. |
| Feed acidifiers | Animal feed acidifiers are organic acids incorporated into the feed for nutritional or preservative purposes. Acidifiers enhance congestion and microbiological balance in the alimentary and digestive tracts of livestock. |
| Feed minerals | Feed minerals play an important role in the regular dietary requirements of animal feed. |
| Feed binders | Feed binders are the binding agents used in the manufacture of safe animal feed products. It enhances the taste of food and prolongs the storage period of the feed. |
