Description

The global Piglet Feed market size is expected to reach $ 27380 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

In 2024, global production reached approximately 37.47 million tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 550 per ton.

The total production capacity of the production lines at full utilization is approximately 49.96 million tons.

Piglet feed is a specially formulated animal feed designed to meet the nutritional needs of piglets in their early stages of growth. It contains essential nutrients, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals, to support the rapid development of the piglet’s muscles, immune system, and overall health. The feed is critical for optimizing growth rates and preventing diseases in young pigs. The upstream of the piglet feed industry involves the supply of raw materials such as corn, soybeans, and various animal by-products, which are processed into essential feed ingredients. In the midstream, feed manufacturers blend these ingredients to create specialized formulas for different stages of piglet growth, including pre-weaning, post-weaning, and early finishing stages. Production lines in feed mills are designed to handle large quantities of ingredients, and are typically operated at 75% capacity utilization to match the demand. The downstream sector includes pig farms, where the feed is provided to piglets to ensure their healthy development and enhance pork production efficiency.

What Forces Are Driving the Piglet Feed Market?The global demand for piglet feed is being driven by multiple factors. First, the spread of large-scale and intensive farming practices has led producers to focus more on piglet survival rates and growth speed, making high-quality feed a critical input. Second, increasingly stringent global food safety and animal welfare policies are pushing the industry to reduce its reliance on antibiotics, leading to the rapid adoption of green and antibiotic-free feed solutions. Technological progress also plays a vital role, as leading companies continuously optimize formulations, improve processing technologies, and develop alternative proteins and functional ingredients to boost digestibility and health. Meanwhile, policy initiatives such as China’s and the EU’s “antibiotic reduction” programs serve as important external forces driving innovation. However, challenges remain, including raw material price fluctuations, feed adaptation issues arising from different farming models, and compliance and cost pressures faced by smaller manufacturers.

How Does the Supply Chain Evolve from Raw Materials to Farming End Users?The piglet feed supply chain upstream involves soybean, corn, fishmeal, whey powder, and other agricultural commodities, as well as providers of functional additives—segments that are heavily influenced by global pricing and supply patterns. The downstream side directly serves large-scale farms and integrated farming groups, representing the core of demand release. Key enterprises include Twins Group, New Hope Liuhe, Zhengbang Group, Tangrenshen, Wellhope, and Anyou in the Chinese market, while multinationals such as Cargill, CP Foods, ForFarmers, Purina, and AGRAVIS dominate markets in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. With accelerating industry consolidation, large feed companies are increasingly forming strategic partnerships with leading farming groups, shifting the supply chain model from “product delivery” to “nutrition solutions + farming services,” thereby raising market concentration and strengthening customer loyalty.

Which Segments Are Emerging as the Core Growth Tracks?In terms of applications, weaning piglet feed is widely regarded as the fastest-growing segment. The weaning stage is the most vulnerable period for piglets, determining survival and future growth performance, which drives continuous innovation in palatability, nutritional balance, and gut protection. Creep feed remains an essential safeguard product in early piglet development, especially in large farms. Nursery feed is valued for its ability to balance long-term health and growth efficiency, gaining traction in mid- to large-scale operations. End-user trends reveal that large integrated farming groups tend to prefer premium formulations to meet food safety, branding, and traceability requirements, while small and medium-scale farmers, being more cost-sensitive, continue to demand value-for-money products. With sustainable farming concepts gaining popularity, feeds enriched with prebiotics, plant extracts, and functional proteins are gradually becoming new market focal points.

How Do Regional Markets Shape Industry Dynamics?Regionally, China and the Asia-Pacific region dominate global piglet feed consumption. As the world’s largest hog-raising country, China continues to see rising demand, driven by national policy support and expansion by leading enterprises. In Southeast Asia, markets such as Thailand and Vietnam are experiencing rapid growth under the leadership of companies like CP Foods. Europe, guided by strict EU regulations, has embraced green and antibiotic-free formulations, pushing feed enterprises to accelerate innovation and the use of plant-based ingredients. In North America, the market is led by Cargill and Purina, with a strong emphasis on efficiency and technology-driven feeding solutions. South America and Africa remain relatively small in scale but are emerging as potential growth regions, supported by farming modernization and international investment. Overall, regional markets show distinct characteristics, shaped by policy directions, consumption preferences, and farming models, driving global diversification.
