Global Forage Feed Market Fueled by Growing Significance and Escalating Demand: Transparency Market Research


Forage feed refers to food that is consumed by grazing animals. Traditionally, forage only meant plants such as crop residue, pasture, or immature cereal crops that were eaten by animals. However, as the global forage feed market grows to provide quality feed to livestock, there is a variety of forage feed in the market that is being sold through retailers. Companies are looking at ways to enhance forage feed in order to increase its nutritional value, resulting in increased milk production at dairy farms.

Today, manufacturers produce forage feed out of green feed, herbaceous legumes, grass, tree legumes, silage, and hay. Forage feed not only contributes to the benefit of livestock production and their output, but it also helps in conserving the environment to a great extent. Forage feed is a vital aid to production of food crop by conserving soil, wildlife, landscape, curbing pollution, and reclaiming and revegetating degraded areas. It also acts as a source of high quality proteins for many pharmaceutical and medical products.

The global forage feed market is segmented on the basis of products, type of livestock, and region. The product segment of the global forage feed market includes fresh forage, stored forage, and others. Depending on the livestock, the global forage feed market is fragmented into pork or swine, poultry, aquaculture, cattle, and others. Geographically, the global forage feed market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. The best kind of forage is fresh forage as it provides the livestock with high quality nourishment and is considered to be palatable feed. Stored forage such as hay is chopped and packed in plastic bags.




Increasing Meat Consumption Fuels the Global Forage Feed Market

The global forage feed market was valued at US$85.06 billion in 2013 and will reach US$162.87 billion by 2019, growing a CAGR of 11.4% from 2013 to 2019. In terms of volume the forecast growth rate is a CAGR of 9.2%. This high growth rate is largely fueled by increasing meat consumption across the globe, rising awareness about the health benefits of forage feed for animals, and growing farm animal population.

Forage Feed Substitutes Hinder the Growth

Despite the presence of strong growth factors, the global forage feed market has a tough road ahead. The availability of a wide range of substitutes is the biggest threat to this market. Due to lack of funds and support from governments, poultries prefer these substitutes over high quality forage feed; thus stealing the limelight from the forage feed market in certain regions. Additionally, lack of funds for research and development activities in the global forage feed market is also hindering the growth of this sector.

Asia Pacific Holds the Biggest Market Share

In terms of region, Asia Pacific leads the global forage feed market with a share of 41.51% in 2013. The biggest contributors to this growth are countries such as Japan, India, China, and Japan. The Asia Pacific region is expected to register a growth rate of 11.8% during the forecast period, making it the best performing regional segment of the global forage feed market. Europe closely followed Asia Pacific in 2013 with a market share of 28.1% in terms of revenue generation.

Some of the key players of the global forage feed market are The Pure Feed Company Limited, Cargill Incorporated, Triple Crown Nutrition Inc., Standlee Hay Company Inc., Baileys Horse Feeds, Semican Inc., and J. Grennan and Sons. The action plans of these companies will decide the future growth of this market in the global economy.

Global Frozen Food Market Largely Impacted by Drastic Change in Lifestyles:Transparency Market Research

The global frozen food market is a significant part of the overall food industry and has been a great contributor to the expansion of the food industry.

The two processes used for freezing food are mechanical freezing and cryogenic or flash freezing. The type of method used for freezing and packing food is determined by the texture of the item. The food packaging industry has been opting for the cryogenic method since it allows quick freezing, making smaller ice crystals and thus preserving the texture and quality of the food.

Busy Lives Driving Global Frozen Food Market

The biggest factor driving the global frozen food market is convenience. In times that are dictated by work and busy schedules, there is little or no room for cooking elaborate meals. Owing to these reasons, several city dwellers are opting for frozen food items, which can be prepared in minutes with simple heat treatments. In addition to this, the global frozen food market offers a wide range of items of various cuisines. These offerings are an added advantage for the frozen food market as global citizens are provided with local solutions to satisfy their taste buds even when miles away from home.

Ready-to-Eat Meals Leads the Frozen Food Market

The product segment in the global frozen food market is inclusive of frozen fish or seafood, ready meals, frozen potatoes, frozen soup, and frozen fruits and vegetables. The frozen ready-to-eat meal segment is further fragmented into products such as desserts, pizza, snacks, and entrees. Out of these sub-segments, the frozen ready meals category is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2013 to 2019. Furthermore, the frozen potatoes segment, which has held a minor share so far, is also expected to grow at a rapid pace with increasing applications of these food products. By 2019, the frozen vegetables and fruits market will have also reached new heights as innovative technological advancements are slowly moving towards making these vegetables and fruits last longer. In order to reap heavy returns on investments, manufacturers in the global frozen food market are working towards tapping into the “next-generation” demographic group that is likely to buy more frozen food.



Brazil and Argentina to Fulfill Great Expectations of the Global Frozen Food Market

Geographically, the global frozen food market is divided into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. Analysts predict that countries from the Rest of the World region such as Brazil and Argentina will witness the highest growth rate in the coming five years as new markets open up for frozen food. Historic data suggests that Europe was leading the global frozen food market in 2012 with a share of over 35%. In the next five years, the frozen food market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% with Germany being the biggest consumer and grabbing a market share of over 15%. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is showing a promise of winning a share of 24.8% of the market. The biggest contributors to this stupendous growth will be the emerging economies of China and India. Lastly, the frozen food market in North America will grow at a slower rate compared to the other regions in this market.

The key players in the global frozen food market include H.J. Heinz, Nestle, ConAgra, The Schwan Food Company, and McCains. The innovative approaches taken by these companies and their marketing efforts will decide the fate of the global frozen food market in the coming five years.
