 Market Overview

MEA’s animal nutrition sector is expanding steadily as livestock farming modernizes and governments promote feed quality and disease prevention. Poultry and dairy segments account for most consumption, while aquaculture is a growing niche in North and West Africa. Companion animal nutrition is still small but gaining traction in urban centers.

Feed additive categories such as amino acids, vitamins, and enzymes dominate volumes. Demand for gut-health solutions (probiotics, organic acids, plant extracts) is increasing due to pressure to reduce antibiotics. Local feed manufacturers are investing in premix plants, while multinational ingredient suppliers continue to build distribution networks.
