The global Direct-Fed Microbials (DFM) market was valued at USD 1,299.14 Million in 2022 and is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating it will reach USD 2,449.82 Million by 2031. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% from 2023 to 2031. The study conducted by Straits Research explores the latest market dynamics, trends, drivers, opportunities, and key segments shaping the DFM market in the coming years.
The growing need for sustainable and natural solutions in animal feed to improve gut health and overall livestock productivity is one of the primary factors contributing to the growth of this market. Direct-fed microbials, which consist of live microorganisms, have become increasingly popular in the livestock industry for their ability to enhance digestion, boost immunity, and reduce the need for antibiotics in animal feed.
Market Definition
Direct-fed microbials (DFM) are live microorganisms that are added to animal feed to provide benefits such as improving digestion, enhancing immunity, and promoting better overall health in livestock. These microbial products are used in various types of livestock, including poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquatic animals. The increasing focus on animal health and sustainability in farming practices is a key driver of the demand for direct-fed microbials.
