India`s medicated feed additives import shipments in 2024 saw a notable shift in concentration, with top exporters being Sri Lanka, China, UK, Taiwan, and Ireland. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) reflected a transition from moderate to high concentration within the market. Despite a challenging Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -27.13% from 2020 to 2024, there was a slight improvement in the growth rate in 2024, standing at -19.27%. This data suggests a dynamic landscape in the medicated feed additives market in India, with opportunities for further analysis and strategic decision-making.

Medicated feed additives are an essential component of animal nutrition in India, as they are used to prevent and treat various diseases and health issues in livestock and poultry. As the India livestock sector expands to meet the growing demand for protein, the use of medicated feed additives is on the rise. Farmers and producers are increasingly adopting these additives to ensure the well-being of their animals and the quality of the end products. This market is expected to grow as animal health and productivity continue to be of utmost importance in the India agricultural sector.
The India medicated feed additives market is on an upward trajectory due to several key drivers. Firstly, the increasing prevalence of diseases and infections in livestock and poultry has raised concerns about animal health and food safety. Medicated feed additives, such as antibiotics and antimicrobials, are essential tools for preventing and treating diseases in animals. As a result, there is a growing demand for medicated feed additives to improve animal health and reduce the risk of disease outbreaks. Additionally, the intensification of animal farming practices, driven by the need to meet the rising demand for animal products, has led to overcrowding and stress among animals, making them more susceptible to diseases. Medicated feed additives are being used to address these challenges and ensure the well-being of livestock. Moreover, the government`s regulations and guidelines on antibiotic usage in animal farming have created a need for safer and more effective alternatives, driving the demand for medicated feed additives that comply with these regulations.
The India medicated feed additives market faces several challenges. The use of medicated feed additives for disease prevention and growth promotion is common, but there may be concerns related to antimicrobial resistance and drug residues in animal products. The market needs to promote responsible and judicious use of medicated feed additives and educate farmers about the risks and benefits. Ensuring the availability of safe and effective medicated feed products is essential. Regulatory measures and monitoring are necessary to address these challenges and safeguard animal health and food safety.
The medicated feed additives market saw consistent demand, with a focus on animal health and disease prevention. However, concerns over antibiotic use led to a shift toward more stringent regulations in some cases.
In the India medicated feed additives market, major players include Zoetis, Elanco, and Boehringer Ingelheim. These companies offer medicated feed additives for livestock to prevent and treat diseases, ensuring animal health and well-being.
