GCC Compound Feed Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the GCC Compound Feed Market according to our research experts:

Increased Demand for Meat Drives the Market

The demand for higher-value and quality foods, such as meat, is increasing compared with plant-originated foods, such as cereals in the GCC countries. The region’s increase in meat consumption is in line with the rising global trend of consumption of protein-rich foods, particularly organic and healthy produce with a strong, branded and most often halal provenance. These changes in consumption, together with sizeable population growth, have led to large increases in the total demand and production for meat in these countries, and this trend is likely to continue.​ According to FAO, meat production in Kuwait and Oman increased from 97.3 and 76.1 thousand metric ton in 2016 to 108.0 and 80.0 thusand metric ton 2018, respectively. Meat products are growing rapidly due to the increasing health concerns along with the growing disposable income especially in the developing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The growing demand for quality meat has created an opportunity for feed manufacturers to enhance animal productivity. This has led to the growth in the usage of feed additives, thereby, boosting the compound feed in the growth of the animal feed market.

Compound Feed Market Share

Poultry Feed Dominates the Market

Chicken is one of the most popular meats in the region. According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the share of the United States poultry exports to Saudi Arabia have reduced from 10% in 2017 to 9.1% in 2018, primarily due to the stringent regulations from the Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA) that mandates a Food Safety & Inspection Service (FSIS) issued health certificate for the imported poultry meat attesting that the poultry had been fed vegetable protein and were free from growth hormones. The sharp increase in the imported chicken prices have made the locally produced chicken more competitive, thus, proving advantageous for the various stakeholders in the value chain including the poultry producers, wholesalers, and retailers in Saudi Arabia. This is also seen as a opportunity for local growers to increase their market share, thus demand in high quality compiund feed is likely to continue in the GCC region during the forecast period.
