Forage Feed Market: Notable Developments, Varieties & Values & Geographical Outlook-2020
The global forage
feed market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast
period. The forage feed market is primarily driven by growing demand for forage
feed that is used to feed livestock. In addition, increasing global meat
consumption and economic benefits derived from cultivation of forage seed have
led to the further rise in demand for forage seeds globally. Apart from this,
rising demand for organic meat in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle has
been creating future growth opportunities for the forage seed market.
The global forage seed market is anticipated to
expand at a CAGR of 8.4% in terms of volume during the forecast period due to
various factors, regarding which FMI offers fundamental insights in detail in
this report.
On the basis of products, the market has been categorised
into alfalfa, clover, chicory, ryegrass and others (including lablab, fescue,
etc.). Alfalfa seeds segment was the largest contributor to the market in 2013,
accounting for a market share of 27.0% in terms of value. The clover forage
segment was the second largest revenue generator in the same year. Alfalfa
plays an important role as a livestock forage.
The demand for alfalfa is primarily driven by its high
nutrient content (protein and energy) that helps improve: growth of livestock,
maintenance, lactation and reproduction. In addition, alfalfa seeds are widely
used for feeding dairy cattle with a view to enhance milk production globally.
The clover seed segment of the global forage seed market was valued at USD
2,636.3 Mn in 2013 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.9% in terms of
revenue during the forecast period.
This report covers drivers, restraints and opportunities
that are driving each segment and respective sub-segments of the market, and
offers analysis and insights about the potential of the forage feed market in
specific regions. Geographically, North America held the key market share of
the forage feed market in 2013, accounting for 33.5% market share in terms of
revenue. Market growth in this region is attributed to the increasing demand
for weed-free forage products, fuelled by the expanding livestock population.
Agricultural and livestock farmers are focusing on the use
of good forage crops for feeding livestock. Therefore, demand for forage seeds
is increasing in view of cultivating forage crops to meet the consumer needs in
North America. In 2013, Europe held second largest market share followed by
Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. Growing human population, increasing
disposable income and urbanisation are playing an important role in increasing
the demand for poultry meat and dairy products in Asia Pacific. Furthermore,
the economic benefits, such as crop rotation and risk diversification, of
forage seed cultivation are also expected to boost the growth of the forage
seed market in Asia Pacific. The forage seed market in Asia Pacific was valued
at 511,900 kilo tonnes in 2013 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.3%
during 2014-2020.
