- Protein hydrolysates, derived from animal, fish, plant, or milk sources, are increasingly critical in animal feed applications due to their high bioavailability, enhanced palatability, and ability to improve gut health and overall animal performance
- The rising global demand for meat, dairy, and aquaculture products, coupled with the need for sustainable and efficient feed solutions, is fueling the adoption of protein hydrolysates in animal nutrition
- Asia-Pacific dominated the protein hydrolysates for animal feed application market with the largest revenue share of 42.5% in 2024, driven by large-scale livestock and aquaculture industries, rapid urbanization, and increasing investments in animal nutrition in countries such as China and India
- Europe is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period, owing to stringent regulations on animal feed quality, growing demand for organic and sustainable feed additives, and advancements in enzymatic hydrolysis technologies
- The animal protein hydrolysate segment dominated the largest market revenue share of 38.2% in 2024, driven by its rich amino acid profiles sourced from poultry, swine, and cattle, which are essential for livestock growth and development
