Market Trends of Asia-Pacific Swine Feed Premix Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Swine Feed Premix Market according to our research experts:
Rising Demand for Quality Pork Meat
Pork is the most popular and widely consumed meat in developing countries and specifically in Asian countries. Pork is cheaper than other meat sources, which is a major factor for its high consumption. Besides, its palatability, fat content, and texture fascinates the consumer. The large middle-class population, growing disposable income, and changing consumer preferences are levitating the pork demand. Thus, due to the rising health concerns there has been a shift of the consumers towards quality pork. The pig farmers, therefore, demand premixes such as antibiotics, vitamins, and minerals to keep the animals healthy and disease-free. Pork production and consumption are very high in China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and India. Pork is highly nutritious meat as it contains high protein, and less fat and cholesterol, as compared to beef and other meat sources. It provides a protein-rich meat source for consumers at a low cost, which makes it an affordable animal meat protein source for consumers in the region. Thereby, boosting the demand for swine feed premix in the region.
China Dominates the Market
China is capturing a major share of the market by its dominance in swine feed additives. This is followed by other Asian countries such as India and Japan. The Asia Pacific is estimated to be one of the remunerative markets for the growth of the swine feed market, which in turn is driving the swine premix market and it is projected to grow the highest during the forecast period. The awareness to consume high protein diets in emerging economies like India and China are anticipated to lead the growth of the market in this region. Although the consumption of pig meat is low in Australia but the consumption is increasing at a good pace which registered an increase from 385.08 thousand tons in 2017 to 395.03 thousand tons in 2019 owing to the demand from the growing population of the country. Thus, the demand for fresh and quality meat in these countries will drive the market for swine feed premix in Asia-Pacific.
