Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market 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.
Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market 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.
Country Analysis
Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market
Based on the country, the market is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK and Rest of Europe. Germany is the leading country in the Europe Butyric Acid Derivatives Market. In Europe, Germany is one of the most developed countries in the animal feed sector. The country produced more than 24 million tonnes of compound feed in 2022 alone, according to the European Feed Manufacturers' Federation. A high production capacity raises demand for feed additives such as butyric acid derivatives. Moreover, strict regulation within Germany in terms of the use of antibiotics in animal farming has encouraged farmers to adopt other alternatives like derivatives of butyric acid. Along with this, Germany follows all the directives provided by the EU in respect to animal welfare and sustainable farming techniques that support the market growth. Followed by Europe, France is another major player in the Europe Butyric Acid Derivative Market. France has a significant livestock industry, particularly in poultry and swine production. The country produced approximately 20 million tonnes of compound feed in 2022, positioning it as one of the top feed producers in Europe. Italy, Spain, UK also contribute to the Europe Butyric Acid Market to some extent.
