Direct Fed Microbials Market

Market Overview:

The global direct fed microbials market size reached US$ 1.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6% during 2023-2028.

Direct-fed microbials (DFMs) are feed supplements that contain live and naturally occurring bacteria to improve the health and productivity of animals. They lower the pH, reduce enteric pathogens, and stimulate intestinal cell proliferation, which maintains the gut integrity of animals. They detoxify undesirable compounds, such as lactic acid and mycotoxins, to boost the immune system. They also help provide microbial balance in the digestive tract by producing high levels of beneficial enzymes, such as alpha amylase, cellulase, and protease. At present, there is a rise in the demand for DFMs due to the growing prevalence of different diseases among animals across the globe.

Direct Fed Microbials Market Trends:

The rising demand for poultry meat due to its high protein content, along with the growing livestock population around the world, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Besides this, the increasing awareness among the masses about the benefits of DFMs, such as enhancing metabolism, maintaining microbial flora in the intestine, ammonia production, and neutralizing enterotoxin, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, there is an increase in the replacement of antibiotic growth promoters with direct-fed microbials to reduce the risk of transmitting drug-resistant bacteria to humans. This, along with the burgeoning livestock industry, is contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce blockchain and the internet of things (IoT) technologies for managing the procurement, processing, and distribution of DFM products effectively. They are also focusing on various marketing strategies to expand their market reach. Apart from this, the rising utilization of DFMs to reduce the mortality rate of animals due to clostridial, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal diseases is bolstering the growth of the market.
