Market Growth Factors
In Bangladesh, growth of commercial poultry and livestock farms is the main demand driver for animal feed․ The shift from customary village-based farms to larger commercial scale meat and egg production has created a huge demand for high-quality, nutritionally balanced, industrially manufactured feed products․ The bulk of demand for compound feed comes from large broiler farms, layer farms and integrated farms․ Urbanization and per capita income growth have also led to an increase in the consumption of meat, eggs and dairy products․ The opening up of veterinary and extension services allows farmers to improve on feed use efficiency and farm efficiency, whereas feed producers have better connection with commercial farms for reliable offtake and market stability․
Aquaculture industry is one of the main consumers of these feeds․ Bangladesh is among the largest inland fish producers in the world, with abundant water resources available for fish farming․ Commercial pelleted and extruded feed are replacing mixed feed made on the farm as farmers maximize production, using intensive stocking systems․ Per-capita fish consumption, which was 24 grams a day in 2000, is increasing, having averaged 67․8 grams a day in 2023, indicating an increase in local demand․ In turn, this creates a demand among feed manufacturers for the development of nutritionally balanced aquafeed products tailored to maximize the growth and feed conversion of these species․
Increased government support for domestic cereal production, improvements in mechanized farming, improved breeding technologies and livestock productivity are other factors responsible for the increased adoption of commercial feeds․ Domestic maize expanded to 6․72 Lakh hectares in 2024-25 from 6․42 Lakh hectares in 2023-24, thus reducing imports․ The role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in rapidly disseminating knowledge and technology at various levels of the feed value chain is important․ Government-subsidized credit, as well as investor and producer incentives that ease scale-up of operations, and training in nutrition and feed efficiency, can improve market stability and productivity․
Market Segmentation
Form
- Pellets: Represent the largest segment with a 40% market share in 2025.
