In 2024, China continued to import trace minerals in feed from top countries such as the USA, Japan, Netherlands, Bulgaria, and Metropolitan France. Despite moderate concentration as indicated by the HHI, the industry saw a steady growth with a CAGR of 2.04% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a decline in the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -17.81%. This suggests a potential shift in market dynamics or other external factors influencing the imports of trace minerals in feed into China.

The market for trace minerals in animal feed in China is growing due to increasing livestock production and a focus on enhancing animal health and productivity. Trace minerals, such as zinc, copper, and manganese, are vital for animal growth, reproduction, and overall health. The expansion of the market is supported by rising consumer demand for meat and dairy products. Challenges include ensuring the correct formulation and balance of minerals in feed to avoid deficiencies or toxicities, and addressing environmental concerns related to mineral runoff.
The trace minerals in feed market in China is influenced by the rising demand for animal nutrition and the need for improving livestock health and productivity. The growing awareness of the benefits of trace minerals in enhancing animal growth, reproduction, and overall health drives market growth. Additionally, the expansion of the livestock sector and the increasing adoption of advanced feed formulations contribute to the demand for trace minerals in feed.
The Trace Minerals in Feed market faces challenges such as regulatory compliance and the need for precise formulations. Trace minerals are essential for animal health, but regulations regarding their use and permissible levels can be stringent and vary by region. Ensuring that feed formulations meet these regulations while maintaining cost-effectiveness can be challenging. Additionally, the market must address issues related to the stability and bioavailability of trace minerals in feed.
In the trace minerals in feed market, government policies focusing on agricultural productivity and livestock health are significant drivers. The Chinese government has set regulations and standards for animal feed quality to ensure the health and productivity of livestock. Policies promoting the use of trace minerals in feed to enhance animal health and improve food safety standards contribute to the market`s growth. Additionally, government support for the agricultural sector through subsidies and research initiatives influences the demand for trace minerals in animal feed.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
