The market is gaining traction due to the increasing demand for healthier livestock and meat products from health-conscious consumers. Non-GMO animal feed is made from organically grown ingredients, free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), chemicals, toxins, and other harmful additives. This type of feed is essential for producing meat and dairy products that are free from genetically engineered ingredients. Animal nutrition is a crucial aspect of animal welfare and meat production. Feed solutions that prioritize animal health and hygiene are in high demand. The sourcing of feed ingredients is a critical factor in ensuring the quality and safety of Non-GMO animal feed. Testing and certification are necessary to ensure compliance with labeling regulations and consumer expectations. The market is driven by the growing concerns for biodiversity, food safety, and environmental sustainability. Feed formulation plays a significant role in optimizing the nutritional benefits of Non-GMO animal feed. The market is witnessing a shift towards the use of Non-GMO seeds and traditional breeding methods such as selective breeding and hybridization. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the use of chemicals and toxins in animal feed and the potential impact on meat and dairy products. Online shopping and home cooking are also driving the demand for Non-GMO animal feed as consumers seek to ensure the purity and quality of their food products. Overall, the market is expected to grow significantly due to these trends and the increasing awareness of the importance of animal welfare and environmental sustainability.
Growing investments and focus on expanding production capabilities a major factors driving the market growth. Manufacturers are focusing on expanding their production capabilities to cater to the growing demand for animal feed products worldwide. Also, they find many growth opportunities in the global markets owing to the rising demand for meat products. In addition, the increase in production capacity assures that they are well-positioned to cater to customer requirements across markets. For instance, in February 2020, Archer Daniels Midland announced plans to expand its production capabilities for non-GMO soy protein in the Netherlands. Such expansion by the vendors will increase the sales of non-GMO animal feed products which in turn will accelerate the growth rate of the non-GMO animal feed market during the forecast period.
Rising investment in R&D activities in non-GMO animal feed is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Increased investment by the market players and associations in the research and development of innovative products positively impacts the growth of the non-genetically modified (GMO) animal feed market. For instance, in September 2021, Nature's Path announced the launch of a new muesli and cereal keto line. The innovative range of keto products includes two organic keto cereals and three new Ketola crunch granolas. Nature's Path's new keto products are non-GMO, gluten-free, completely organic, plant-based, and dairy-free, and contain no artificial sweeteners or flavours. Enterprises are initiating to digitize their consumer products to diversify and expand their market presence worldwide.
For instance, in April 2021, United Natural Foods, Inc. launched the community marketplace, an inter-company digital e-commerce solution for developing brands to expand distribution with UNFI's customers. This virtual marketplace benefits manufacturers who have instant access to UNFI's digital infrastructure to sell and advertise their products to UNFI's broad customer base which can result in non-genetically modified (GMO) animal feed market expansion. Therefore, the increasing investment in research and development activities will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
False claims about non-GMO feed products are a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The false and misleading claims by various retailers could influence the non-genetically modified (GMO) animal feed market. Companies such as Marks and Spencer, Coop, and Tesco were also misleading their consumers by asserting that non-GMO feed products were not available in the market, a claim that was found to be false again. In Brazil alone, there are sufficiently non-GMO animal feed products for the entire of Europe. As consumers in countries such as Germany, the UK, and France do not prefer GMO feed products which can have a positive impact on the market, the quantity of non-GMO feed products being imported into Europe is rising every year.
Moreover, a more recent survey confirmed that 67% of consumers demanded that meat, eggs, and dairy products be marked accurately if they are derived from animals that were fed GMO feed products. Therefore, the untrue claims about non-GMO feed products will impede the growth of the global non-GMO animal feed market during the forecast period.
A significant rise in the demand for non-GMO poultry feed is anticipated to contribute to the market growth. This is attributed to the upsurge in global poultry farming. However, the growing majority of poultry diseases such as bird flu is anticipated to negatively impact the poultry segment of the global non-GMO animal feed market in the coming years as it may decrease the demand for poultry. In addition, the segment is experiencing certain challenges due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has adversely impacted poultry production in many countries, such as the US and India. Additionally, owing to the lockdown and the closure of restaurants and other eateries, the prices of poultry have declined in India which also impacted the non-GMO animal feed market. Therefore such factors have negatively affected the sales of non-GMO feed products for poultry, which, in turn, will hinder the potential growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the offline segment will be significant during the forecast period. The offline distribution channel for the non-GMO animal feed market is important for farmers and livestock owners who prefer in-person interactions, require immediate access to products, or are situated in locations with poor Internet connectivity. Conventional agricultural supply stores are the primary offline distribution channel for non-GMO animal feed.
The offline segment was the largest and was valued at USD 17.10 billion in 2018
