In this blog post, TMR answers three critical questions about the Middle East and Latin America pet food market:

Q. What factors are leading to a rise in the demand for pet food in the Middle East and Latin America?

The heightened demand for companionship and owing pets for security reasons are primary reasons behind the growing number of people adopting pets, subsequently giving rise to the demand for pet food. The growing trend of nuclear families is another factor driving the demand for pet foods. The rising concern and care for pets and rapid urbanization have led to an increase in the demand for pet foods. The increasing demand for branded and packaged food is also causing the pet food market in the Middle East and Latin America to grow to some extent. An overall increase in the disposable income among the people has also encouraged people to adopt pets and is boosting the pet food market.

Q. Which will be the pet food type that will witness the fastest growth rate?

The dry pet food segment led in the Middle East and Latin America pet food market among the different food types in 2013. Owing to the ease of handling and lesser cost, the dry pet food segment led in the market in 2013. Moreover, dry food can be stored for a longer time and feeding pets is easier.

However, the nutritious food segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the Middle East and Latin America. The growth of the nutritious food segment is due to increasing concerns among pet owners regarding pet health. The growing incidences of diseases such as canine parvovirus infection and Lyme disease will also lead to a rise in the demand for nutritious food segment.

Q. What are the recent trends in the pet food industry in the Middle East and Latin America?

Organic pet food is one of the emerging trends in the pet food industry. For instance, Natural Planet Pet Foods has choices for organic foods and have products containing exotic protein sources such as duck, rabbit, and kangaroo.

Soups are another emerging space and accelerating the value of pet food. A case in point would be Mars Petcare. In June 2016, the company launched Sheba Classic Soups for cats. Moreover, investments for expansion of facilities, with a vision to give pets better and more nutritious food are some of the other trends that are catching up with market players. For instance, Royal Canin has announced the investment of US$100 mn for expanding their facility in South Dakota.  

Food Preservative Industry Needs Improved Coordination between Regulatory Agencies

Food preservatives are a wide range of food additives added to food to keep it fresh and avoid spoilage. Since packaged food is often water-rich organic material, the natural processes within it can themselves lead to spoilage of the food. Microbes can also readily fester in food, thanks to the ready supply of nutrients. This calls for the use of food preservatives, which block antimicrobial action and delay the natural conditions leading to spoilage.

Food preservatives can be natural or synthetic, depending upon the duration for which the food needs to be kept fresh and the precise nature of the threats to be countered by the additive. According to Transparency Market Research, the global market for food preservatives was valued at US$2 bn in 2013. Exhibiting a steady 3.50% CAGR from 2014 to 2020, the market’s valuation is expected to rise to US$2.5 bn.

How will the increasing demand for organic food affect the food preservatives market?

One of the key drivers for the global food preservatives market is the increasing demand for organic food, which can’t be preserved with the same formulations used for conventionally farmed food. This has led to the generation of a new product category in the food preservatives market dealing specifically with the preservation of organic food. The widespread public perception of organic food as being healthier than conventionally farmed food is likely to aid the global food preservatives market massively in the coming years.

The rapid rate of urbanization around the world has also led to a growing demand for packaged food, which is a leading application segment of the global food preservatives market. Food preservatives are particularly important in packaged food, since packaged food is bought expressly to be eaten a significant time after its purchase.

What is the most important challenge for the food preservatives industry?

Food preservatives have a direct effect on the health of the consumer, leading to governments across the world setting firm regulations to control and monitor their use. However, illegal use of more effective but more dangerous food preservatives is common across the world and particularly prevalent in developing countries. Earlier this month, Burmese officials discovered widespread use of formalin, a chemical more commonly used to preserve human carcasses and prevent them from rotting, for the preservation of tofu and noodles. The rising prevalence of such instances is a key restraint on the global food preservatives market, and requires more comprehensive and coordinated efforts from global healthcare bodies.

The rapidly increasing demand for food preservatives from Asia Pacific makes coordination between the region’s food and beverage monitoring agencies particularly important. While North America led the global food preservatives market in 2013, Asia Pacific was not far behind and is likely to remain a key contributor to the global food preservatives market in the coming years. Australia, South Korea, India, China, Thailand are among the key markets for food preservatives, as the steady urbanization in these countries has led to the generation of a significant and expanding consumer pool.

Aqua Feed Production Upswing to Ride on Increasing Demand for High-quality Aquaculture Products

The quality of feed is important in animal production systems as it is essential to produce a healthy and high-quality product in an economical manner. In fish farming, nutrition is crucial as it accounts for a substantial amount of the production cost. Fish nutrition has advanced considerably in recent years with the development of new and balanced commercial diets that aid optimal fish growth and health. The development of species-specific diet formulations will result in the global aqua feed market to reach a valuation of US$122.6 bn by 2019, says a new market study by Transparency Market Research. Consequently, the aquaculture industry has been benefitted to satisfy the increasing demand for safe and high-quality fish and sea-foods.

Q. What are the major factors driving the growth of the global aqua feed market?

A. The demand for aquaculture products has been on the rise over the past few years. This is because aquatic foods have high nutritional value and are also quite affordable. To cater to this demand, aquaculture has developed considerably, wherein the breeding of aquatic products is monitored and controlled.

On the other hand, revenue contribution by the aqua feed market makes up almost 50% of the cost involved in operating an aquaculture facility. Therefore, the growth of the aqua feed market is dependent on the growth of the aquaculture industry to some extent.

Q. What relation does feed type have on the growth of the aquaculture product?

A. Commercial fish diets are manufactured either as floating or sinking feeds. While both sinking and floating diets can produce satisfactory results, some fish prefer floating and others prefer sinking diets. However, extruded feeds are advantageous as it enables the farmer to observe the feeding intensity and can be adjusted as per need. This is because feeding rates are important to be determined if they are too low or too high for maximizing fish growth and feed use efficiency.

Q. Which is the most lucrative end-use segment of the global aqua feed market?

A. Carps are expected to contribute substantial revenue to the aqua feed market as they can breed in less than ideal environmental conditions. In 2012, carps accounted for more than 25% of the overall aqua feed market. Moreover, factors such as changing food habits, rising disposable incomes, and changing lifestyle are leading to the increased demand for carps and crustaceans. Carps and crustaceans are expected to be leading end-use segments of the aqua feed market in the coming years.

Q. How do regional markets fare in the global aqua feed market?

A. Asia Pacific is a significant market for aqua feed due to the high demand for fish and the emergence of a considerable number of aquaculture facilities in the region. The region held 65% of the overall market in 2012 and is expected to retain its dominant position until the end of 2019. Europe is expected to stand as the second-largest market for aqua feed in the coming years.
