Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market: By Animal Feed, By Product, and Country Forecast 2020-2031

Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market: By Animal Feed (Cattle, Swine, Poultry, Sheep and Others), By Product (Sodium Butyrate, Calcium Butyrate and Others), and Country Forecast 2020-2031

Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market size was valued at US$ X million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ X million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of X% from 2025-2031. held a considerable market share during the forecast period. Salts and esters of butyric acid are derivatives of the short-chain fatty acid butyric acid, described to be very instrumental in the health of the gut microbiome. Their prevailing application is mainly within animal feeding because of the support in gut health and further improvements in the animals' growth and productivity. Butyric acid derivatives demand continues to surge, especially in Europe, due to growing awareness of animal health and the banning of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feed. Butyric acid derivatives are seeing a rise compared with other animal-derived products, due to increasing demand for quality meat and dairy products. FEFAC European Feed Manufacturers' Federation states that about 160 million tonnes of feed were produced within the EU in 2021 period, showing steady year-on-year increases.

However, the production of butyric acid derivatives can be expensive due to the complex manufacturing processes and the cost of raw materials. This can limit their widespread adoption, especially among small-scale feed manufacturers. Whereas, the development of innovative feed formulations incorporating butyric acid derivatives offers significant growth opportunities. For instance, microencapsulation technology allows for the controlled release of butyric acid in the animal's digestive system, enhancing its efficacy.

Key Developments

  • In 2022, Perstorp launched a new product into the European market as an acid derivative of butyric acid. The product was to help in improving gut health in both swine and poultry, aside from serving as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters.
  • In the year 2021, the European Food Safety Authority approved the new microencapsulated butyric acid derivative for use in the entire European Union in animal feed. These approvals have been enabling additional traction for the product into varied markets.

Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market Dynamics

A major growth factor in the Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market is increased interest in animal health. Antibiotics have been banned as a growth promoter in animal feed since 2006. The move by the European Union to ban the use of antibiotics in animal feed has shifted attention to alternative products such as butyric acid derivatives, which ensure gut health and feed efficiency. After that, needs arose for alternative products which could promote gut health without antibiotics. Butyric acid derivatives remain one of the favoured ones because they promote intestinal health among livestock, hence improving digestion rates and productivity in general.

One of the positive effects of butyric acid derivatives, according to a study in 2020, was enhancement in feed conversion ratios and weight gain in poultry. Due to such reasons, their application among poultry farmers in Europe has increased.
