Executive Summary
Organic feed denotes animal nutrition sourced from natural, pesticide-free elements, excluding synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. This type of feed aims to enhance animal health while aligning with eco-friendly practices.
The primary categories of organic feed encompass cereals and grains, oilseeds, and additional supplements. Cereals and grains, such as wheat, millet, rice, and barley, are chosen due to their high starch content, vital for animal diets. Additives such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, acidifiers, antioxidants, pre and probiotics, as well as flavors and sweeteners, are available in pellet or crumble forms. This feed is tailored for poultry, ruminants, swine, aquatic creatures, and various livestock.

The organic feed market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.34 billion in 2023 to $8.97 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The rise during the historical period was fueled by several factorssuch as increased consumer preference for organic goods, heightened awareness of health and environmental issues, government backing through certification programs, a growing consciousness regarding antibiotic and chemical residues, and the expansion of organic agriculture.
The organic feed market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.11 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The projected growth in the upcoming period is expected due to various factors the worldwide proliferation of organic certification, advancements in organic aquaculture methods, the burgeoning e-commerce market for organic items, and corporate sustainability efforts. Anticipated trends in this period involve increased investment in the organic supply chain, integration of technology in organic feed production, collaborative efforts within the organic supply chain, innovations in organic feed compositions, and the rising preference for non-GMO and clean label products.
The organic feed market is anticipated to experience substantial growth due to the increasing adoption of organic farming practices among farmers. Organic farming involves ecologically based pest controls and the use of biological fertilizers derived from plant and animal waste. Notably, in February 2023, FiBL reported a 4.9% increase in the number of organic producers in 2021 compared to the previous year, reaching an estimated 3.7 million. Additionally, the European Commission disclosed in January 2023 that agricultural land dedicated to organic farming in the EU expanded by over 50%, with an annual growth rate of approximately 5.7%. These trends in organic farming practices are expected to drive the growth of the organic feed market.
The organic feed market is poised for growth, propelled by the rising production of aquatic animals on a global scale. Organic feed plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable and environmentally conscious aquaculture practices, ensuring the production of high-quality and eco-friendly seafood. According to the Biannual Report On Global Food Markets by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in June 2023, the global production of aquatic animals increased by 1.2% in 2022, with an anticipated additional growth of 0.6% in 2023. This increased production of aquatic animals globally is a significant driver for the organic feed market.
Leading companies in the organic feed market are strategically focusing on developing innovative feed ingredients to gain a competitive advantage. One notable example is the introduction of chromium propionate feed ingredients for livestock and poultry diets. In February 2021, Kemin Industries, a US-based manufacturer, launched KemTRACE Chromium-OR, an organic-compliant chromium propionate feed ingredient. This bioavailable source of chromium propionate is designed to enhance glucose utilization, mitigate stress impacts, and support overall health and growth in swine, cattle, broilers, and horses. The product's compliance with USDA National Organic Program (NOP) standards positions it as a valuable addition to the organic feed market.
Major players in the organic feed market are directing their efforts toward the development of enhanced poultry feed formulations, incorporating natural essential oils for optimal wellness and egg production. In October 2021, Cargill, a US-based provider of food and agricultural solutions, introduced NatureWise poultry feeds featuring essential oils to enhance the health and productivity of backyard chickens. These natural essential oils, extracted from various plant parts, contribute to improved egg weight, size, and production, as well as enhanced feed palatability. The NatureWise feeds also include a proprietary ingredient mix for gut health, prebiotics, probiotics, yeast culture for digestion support, vitamin D3 for calcium absorption, and plant extracts for bird growth, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to poultry nutrition.
In March 2022, Noble Foods, a UK-based supplier of fresh eggs, completed the acquisition of Hi Peak Feeds, a fellow UK-based organic manufacturer specializing in feeds, blends, minerals, and specialty products. The undisclosed acquisition amount significantly bolstered Noble Foods' production capacity while concurrently elevating the company's sustainability credentials.
