Market Definition

Phytogenic is a class of organic growth promoters used as feed additives that are derived from herbs, spices, or other plants. The range of phytogenic feed additives is broad and includes essential oils and active ingredient classes such as saponins, flavonoids, mucilages, tannins, and bitter and pungent substances. Phytogenic feed additives are substances of plant origin added to animal diets at recommended levels to enhance animal growth and nutrition.

Middle East and Africa Phytogenic Feed Additives Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Drivers

• Stringent Regulations on Antibiotic Feed Additives

Antibiotics are a class of organic, semi-organic, or synthetic compounds with anti-microbial activity that are widely used to treat and prevent infectious illnesses in humans and animals. They may also be added to feed as growth promoters to aid in the development of animals.

The use of antibiotics in poultry and livestock production is seen as advantageous by farmers and the economy as a whole because it has generally improved poultry performance economically and effectively. However, the potential spread of antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms into the environment and their subsequent transmission to humans via the food chain could seriously affect public health. Legislation and other restrictions on antibiotic usage in farm animals are being established worldwide due to these health concerns.

For instance,

• In November 2017, the WHO published an article against frequently administering antibiotics to stimulate growth and prevent sickness in healthy animals. By minimizing their needless use in animals, the new WHO recommendations seek to conserve the potency of antibiotics that are crucial for human health.
• According to European Commission, antibiotics have been utilized extensively in livestock agriculture worldwide for decades. They enhance the growth performance of farm animals when added in small dosages to their feed. However, the Commission decided to gradually phase out and ultimately ban the marketing and use of antibiotics as growth promoters in feed beginning in 2006 due to the rise in bacterial resistance towards antibiotics used to treat human and animal diseases.

It is unlikely that antibiotics will ever be eliminated from animal agriculture since doing so would harm the livestock sector. It is crucial to look for naturally occurring, accessible, affordable, and efficient growth promoters to replace Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) in livestock diets, especially in regions where antibiotics are prohibited. As a result, for the sake of environmental sustainability, human health, and food safety, researchers have recently focused more on natural alternatives that might replace the use of antibiotics in livestock production. This leads to effective alternatives called natural feed additives, such as phytogenic feed additives. These factors are expected to drive market growth.

Opportunity

• Rising Demand for Phytogenic Feed Additives in Aquaculture and Pet Feeds

The market of organic aquaculture is escalating as it tends to protect the consumers' health by the reduced usage of any synthetic or harmful chemicals. The growth of organic aquaculture leads to the increased involvement of organic feed additives in manufacturing organic aquaculture feed such as phytogenic feed additives. So, the increase in organic aquaculture is expected to create an opportunity for market growth.

For instance,

• In August 2020, Delacon launched a product named Syrena Boost. The product is a premixture of saponins, spices, and essential oils, providing complete phytogenic solutions to modern aquaculture practices. It was designed in a way that it could target gut performance and productivity. It comes in a micro-encapsulated manner to sustain its thermal stability and for the gradual intestinal release of the sensitive ingredients involved.
• In December 2020, according to the Philippines Journal of Fisheries, drugs were used for chemotherapy to reduce, prevent, and treat diseases in aquaculture. Thus, chemotherapy has some negative impacts on fish and human health. As a substitute, phytogenic feeds have shown exceptional results, such as appetite stimulation and weight gain. In addition to that, it is said to act as an immunostimulant inheriting anti-pathogenic properties in fishes.

Using phytogenic feed additives in aquaculture feed improves fish's appetite and acts as an organic growth promotor. In addition, the anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties of phytogenics are said to improve the health of fish by preventing and curing various diseases.

In conclusion, the aquaculture market is growing because of fish consumption by meat eaters and involvement in medicinal supplements such as fish oils. As aquaculture is now inclined towards organic methods, the consumption of organic-based feeds is increasing. Due to all reasons stated above, the usage of phytogenic feed additives in aquaculture is expected to provide an opportunity for market growth and all the phytogenic feed additive manufacturers.

Restraint/Challenge

• Availability of Established Alternatives for Feed Additives

Phytogenic feed additives are sought in animal husbandry to enhance immunity, performance, and overall health. The offset effects of antibiotics and increased production, the phytogenic feed additives introduced various feed components and the required adjustments in animal management.

Although phytogenic feed additives have various benefits and enhance animal performance and health, other natural feed additives such as prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, organic acids, salts, essential oils, and seaweed are marketed. These additives are made from organic sources, including minerals, plants, and microbes. They are employed in animal nutrition to boost an animal's performance, health, and welfare. Besides phytogenic feed additives, numerous feed additives companies have recently introduced new products for some natural feed additives.

For instance,

• In November 2022, according to the article published in Feed-lot Magazine Inc, prebiotics are substances found in food that stimulate the development or activity of good bacteria and fungus. In the digestive system, prebiotics can change the composition of the bacteria in the gut microbiome. Precision prebiotic Amaferm from BioZyme, Inc. is made from a complete fermentation product from a particular strain of Aspergillus oryzae.

Thus, other natural feed additives are gaining prominence around the world. These additives have almost equal benefits compared to phytogenic feed additives, which are expected to restrain market growth.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on Middle East and Africa Phytogenic Feed Additives Market

The uncertainty caused due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world had affected and changed the complete dynamics of Middle East and Africa industries and had a negative impact on the market growth of Middle East and Africa economics.

Due to COVID-19, all the countries had faced a multi-layered crisis comprising domestic economic disruptions, plummeting external demand, collapse in prices, and collapse in the supply and demand of products.

Recent Developments

• In March 2023, Indian Herbs announced the launch of a new product named HEATBEAT for poultry. This product is a combination of natural vitamin C, organic chromium complex, and mint. This launch helped the company in the expansion of its product portfolio.
• In February 2022, Orffa announced a new distribution agreement with Eigenmann & Veronelli, a leading solution provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry in Rho (MI), Italy. This agreement would help the company to promote its products in Italy.
