As per our research report, the Middle East And Africa Poultry Feed Market size is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2024 to 2030.

Poultry feed constitutes the essential nutritional support provided to poultry farms, including a variety of avian species such as ducks, chickens, geese, and other domestic birds. The optimal growth and health of poultry require the provision of essential nutrients in appropriate quantities and proportions. Anticipated drivers of growth in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) poultry feed market include increasing demand for poultry meat, growing reliance on animal protein sources such as eggs. Additionally, the industrialization of the meat industry and the strategic efforts of global market players to expand through local distributors in the MEA region to promote poultry feed and its additives are expected to contribute to market expansion. However, challenges such as rising raw material costs and increased maintenance expenses are likely to hinder market growth over the forecast period.

In recent years, the poultry industry has emerged as a rapidly growing sector within agriculture, undergoing significant structural changes over the past two decades. These transformations are attributed to the adoption of modern intensive production methods, advancements in genetics, improved disease control measures, and increasing urbanization alongside rising income levels and population growth. The expansion of chilled and frozen poultry product retailing is facilitated by the proliferation of supermarkets and shopping malls. Government policies also play a pivotal role in ensuring competitively priced poultry products, thereby stimulating growth in the sector. The growing demand for convenient and high-quality chicken products is driven by an expanding working population and rising incomes. Additionally, as consumers prioritize health, there is a growing willingness to invest in healthier meat options, further fueling market growth.

The Middle East and Africa Poultry Feed Market faced significant challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic, hindering its growth trajectory. Governments in the region implemented port closures, causing disruptions in the poultry feed supply chain. The pandemic also affected the availability of crucial raw materials necessary for poultry feed formulation in affected nations. Countries reliant on imports for key ingredients such as corn and soybeans encountered considerable difficulties in sourcing. Furthermore, the closure of feed plants exacerbated the challenges in accessing poultry feed, resulting in a downturn in poultry meat consumption.

KEY MARKET INSIGHTS:

• Based on the Animal Type, the predominant segment by animal type in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) poultry feed market is the layer segment, which focuses on providing feeds tailored for chickens involved in laying table eggs intended for human consumption. These feeds are typically formulated to contain around 16 percent protein along with an additional supply of calcium to support the production of eggs with sturdy shells. Laying hens typically consume between 100 and 150 grams of feed per day, approximately equivalent to 0.25 pounds. In contrast, turkeys generally require higher protein levels, especially during their early growth phases, with their feed containing up to 28% protein. For chickens raised for meat, commonly known as broilers, protein requirements are slightly lower, ranging from 18% to 23%, varying depending on the growth stage.
• Based on the Ingredient, Conventional feed often contains equivalent, or, in some cases, even higher nutritional value compared to organic feed. In conventional poultry farming, typical feed formulations consist of a wide variety of cereals, including maize, rice, wheat, oats, and barley. These formulations also include cereal byproducts such as wheat bran or rice polish, as well as sources of animal and vegetable proteins such as fish meal, meat meal, soybean oil meal, groundnut cake, and others, depending on their availability.
• Based on the Distribution Channel, classified by distribution channels, the market is divided into offline and online channels. Presently, conventional physical channels remain the dominant preference for obtaining poultry feed. Nevertheless, with the burgeoning market demand for feed and a significant rise in the availability of poultry feed through online sales channels, it is expected that online sales channels will witness the most accelerated growth rate throughout the forecast period.
• Based on the region, In 2023, South Africa experienced a growth rate exceeding 2%, while Namibia also reported an uptick in feed tonnage. However, across Africa as a whole, there was a decline of 3.86% in feed tonnage. In contrast, the Middle East saw a significant surge in total compound feed production, marking a remarkable increase of 24.7%, outpacing other regions. According to the Alltech report, this surge in the Middle East can be attributed partly to an initiative by the Saudi Arabian government aimed at expanding broiler chicken production to meet the country’s self-sufficiency goals. Egypt leads the region as the largest producer, with an estimated total compound feed production of approximately 6 million tons. Broiler feed takes precedence in Egypt as the most produced feed type, accounting for 2.3 million tons.
