India Cattle Feed Market Synopsis

India cattle feed market is expected to grow at a rapid pace in the years to come from 2024 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for animal products in the country, as well as government initiatives promoting the use of high-quality cattle feed.

According to 6Wresearch, the India Cattle Feed Market size is projected to rise at a CAGR of 6.3% during 2025-2031. One of the major drivers for this market is the rising population and urbanization in India. With a growing population, the demand for animal products such as milk, meat, and eggs is also increasing. This has led to an increase in the number of cattle being reared, resulting in a higher demand for cattle feed. Moreover, with rapid urbanization and changing dietary habits, there is a shift towards more protein-rich diets which has further fueled the demand for animal products. This has created a significant market for cattle feed in India.

The cost of ingredients like maize, soybean meal, and fishmeal can greatly impact the final price of cattle feed, making it difficult for some farmers to afford. Another key challenge for the market is the lack of awareness and education among small-scale farmers about the importance of high-quality cattle feed.
