Chelated Trace Minerals Market Trends

• 
  

  Rise in demand for meat and meat products is driving the market growth

  
  

The need for compound feed has been increasing in the Asia Pacific, North American, and European nations due to the rise in demand for meat and meat products and the importance of diets high in protein among consumers around the world. According to predictions from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), by 2050, demand for food items would increase by 60%, and that for animal protein will increase by 1.7% year. Additionally, it is predicted that there would be an increase in the production of dairy, aquaculture, and meat products. China, the US, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, India, and Russia are among the top producers of animal feed in the globe. In these nations, there has been an increase in the demand for chicken and red meat, which has helped the chelated trace minerals market CAGR to expand.

A food product's bioavailability is the percentage of nutrients that are absorbed and used by an animal's body. Transport, cellular uptake, and transformation into a physiologically active state are all included in the process of utilization. Livestock farmers have not been able to increase feed conversion efficiency in livestock without giving a higher dosage of mineral supplements because trace elements are difficult for animals' digestive systems to easily absorb. These limits have been placed on the use of trace elements in feed to reduce environmental risks. Though cooperative groups and unorganized livestock producers in developing nations are anticipated to have substantial demand. As a result, producers are working on methods to deliver these inorganic trace elements in organic forms, which would increase their bioavailability and boost cattle output. Copper, zinc, selenium, and chromium are the trace elements that are most frequently discovered in organic form. To significantly change the market demand for mineral supplements, farmers must be made aware of the advantages of organic mineral chelates.

The demand for dietary supplements to meet the body's need for minerals is growing as the vegan diet or veganism becomes more and more popular around the world. The body needs minerals and nutrients to carry out a variety of tasks. It has been discovered that vegan or plant-based diets might lead to a lack of some vital minerals including vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, etc. A diet free of dairy, meat, and eggs can have a serious negative impact on health. This may make it more likely that you may need dietary supplements to maintain your health. The chelated trace minerals market revenue is expanding due to an increase in consumer spending on health supplements and an increase in health consciousness.

Chelated Trace Minerals Market Segment Insights

Chelated Trace Minerals Type Insights

The chelated trace minerals market segmentation, based on type includes Zinc, Iron, Cobalt, Copper, Chromium and Others. The zinc segment dominated the market. One of the essential components for the creation of insulin, DNA, RNA, and several other enzymatic activities, zinc is one of the eleven trace elements that promote numerous biological functions. Zinc is a trace mineral that helps in immunological response, protein synthesis, hair maintenance, and cell repair and renewal. Chelated zinc is a type of mineral made to help the body absorb zinc more effectively throughout the digestive tract.

February 2021: The business introduced KemTRACE Chromium-OR mineral, a chromium propionate feed additive produced for animals that complies with organic standards. The company's product line will grow with the introduction of the new product.

Chelated Trace Minerals Chelating Agents Insights

The chelated trace minerals market segmentation, based on chelating agents, includes Amino Acid, Polysaccharide Complex, Proteinate and Others. The amino acid category generated the most income. All types of living creatures use amino acids as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. The advantages of utilizing amino acids as chelating agents include lower cost due to greater performance at a lower acid concentration, increased crop yield, long shelf life, and decreased pesticide residue.

Chelated Trace Minerals Application Insights

The chelated trace minerals market segmentation, based on application, includes Animal Feed, Dietary Supplement, Pharmaceutical, Fertilizer and Others. The animal feed category generated the most income. Chelated trace minerals are widely employed in the feeds and diets of many different animals, including cows, dogs, birds, pigs, horses, aqua species, and so on. Trace mineral chelates are employed in animal feed because the inorganic forms of trace minerals have a limited bioavailability, interact with other feed ingredients, produce big, soluble molecules, and are unstable in an animal's digestive system.

Chelated Trace Minerals Regional Insights

By region, the study provides the market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. The North American chelated trace minerals market area will dominate this market. In the various stages of diets used for raising pigs in the US, it is usual practice to provide chelated trace minerals as a supplement. The most prevalent chelated trace mineral found in pig diets is selenium. Heavy metal emissions from animal agriculture are one of the main issues because of their negative effects on the environment. The growing demand for precision trace minerals as an ingredient in animal feed is anticipated to present opportunities for the players engaged in the production of chelated trace minerals for animal feed in the US during the forecast period. Chelated trace minerals are one such option that aids in the optimal delivery and absorption of trace minerals.

Further, the major countries studied in the market report are The US, Canada, German, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.
