The Business Research Company’s report on the Forage Feed Market provides insights into the global market size, growth rate, regional distribution, competitive landscape, key segments, emerging trends, and strategic opportunities.

What are the key drivers behind the forage feed market’s growth in recent years?

The increasing livestock population is expected to drive the growth of the forage feed market going forward. Livestock population refers to the total number of domesticated animals raised for food, fiber, and other agricultural purposes, such as cattle, poultry, pigs, and sheep. It is increasing due to rising global demand for animal-based products, a growing population, and increasing income levels in developing countries, driving the need for more livestock for meat, dairy, and other agricultural industries. Forage feed is essential for livestock as it provides necessary fiber, nutrients, and energy for healthy digestion, growth, and productivity. For instance, in September 2023, according to Swineweb, a US-based online platform for digital information on the North American pork industry, in 2023, feeder cattle imports increased by over 19% year over year, and pork exports are anticipated to rise in 2023, reaching 6.8 billion pounds, marking a 7.2% increase from the previous year. Therefore, the increasing livestock population is driving the growth of the forage feed market.
