Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 10.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.81% during 2025-2033. The market share is expanding, driven by the increasing poultry production, which is encouraging feed manufacturers to innovate and offer specialized solutions, along with the growing exports of animal products, creating the need for chemical-free feed options.

Mexico Animal Feed Market Trends:

Increasing poultry production

The rising poultry production is fueling the Mexico animal feed market growth. According to the US Department of Agriculture, as of September 2024, Mexico ranked as the sixth biggest poultry producer and the fifth largest consumer in the world. As poultry farming expands, there is a greater need for high-quality animal feed to ensure enhanced productivity and disease prevention in birds. Feed plays a critical role in supporting the overall health of poultry, providing essential nutrients, such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals necessary for optimal development. This increase in poultry production is encouraging feed manufacturers to innovate and offer specialized feed solutions tailored to the specific needs of poultry like broiler feed, layer feed, and breeder feed. Additionally, the demand for sustainable and cost-effective feed is promoting the use of locally sourced ingredients, as well as the creation of alternative feed formulations that reduce reliance on imported raw materials. With more poultry farmers adopting advanced farming techniques to improve productivity, there is a growing emphasis on the employment of feed additives, probiotics, and other health-boosting components that lead to better feed conversion ratios and offer bird immunity. As poultry production continues to rise in Mexico, the market is experiencing steady growth, driven by the high requirement for nutritious and economical animal feed solutions.

Rising exports of animal products

The growing exports of animal products are offering a favorable Mexico animal feed market outlook. As per the information provided on the official website of the USDA, by June 2024, 92% of Mexico's beef exports were directed to the United States. With international markets seeking high-quality animal items, Mexican farmers and livestock producers are focusing on improving animal nutrition to enhance growth rates, health, and overall product quality. This is leading to a higher demand for nutrient-rich animal feed that supports optimal meat yield, milk production, and egg quality. As more countries import Mexican beef, pork, poultry, and dairy products, livestock farmers are investing in better feed formulations to comply with export standards and refine efficiency. Additionally, the increasing emphasis on organic animal items is encouraging Mexican producers to adopt reliable chemical-free feed alternatives. With trade agreements and partnerships expanding Mexico’s reach in the international market, feed manufacturers are scaling up development and introducing advanced formulations to cater to the needs of livestock producers aiming to enhance exports while maintaining high-quality standards.
