Refined Functional Carbohydrates Market: Growth Factors

The increasing demand for high-quality feed additives such as RFCs in the animal diet to enhance their health is paving the way for the growth of the refined functional carbohydrate market. Improvement in animal health, in turn, increases immunity, and work efficiency, and optimizes economic profitability. It has been observed that the consumption of RFCs by livestock from an early stage has remarkably improved the immune system. RFCs such as D-mannose, beta-glucan, and MOS help in maintaining overall animal health regulate feed efficiency, and prevent gut damage.

However, there are some dark sides pertaining to the consumption of RFCs such as the risk of allergies in pet animals, inflammation, and skin irritation in some cases, and swollen ears in animals, which can turn down the market demand.

Refined Functional Carbohydrates Market: Segmentation

Based on the product type, the global refined functional carbohydrates market has been classified into MOS (mannan oligosaccharides), beta-glucan, and d-mannose. The MOS segment is further categorized into cattle/calves, aquaculture, poultry, swine, and others. 

The beta-glucan segment is divided into swine, poultry, and aquaculture. The d-mannose segment has been classified into aquaculture, cattle/calves, poultry, swine, and others.

The beta-glucan segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018. Beta-glucan products are widely served in animal diets as these products provide high resistance and immunity from harmful pathogens and are abundant in nutrition. Beta-glucan RFCs, when added to an animal diet, increase the resistance against a variety of bacteria and viruses to enhance the overall health of livestock.

The MOS (mannan) segment has contributed to significant growth over the past years. This has been accredited on account of the increasing demand for immunity boosters and effective toxin binders in animal diets. Mannan oligosaccharides aid in the growth of good bacteria prevent gastrointestinal infection, help in weight management, and enhances the quality of milk. Moreover, it helps in maintaining gut health owing to its easy digestibility and ability to resist diseases. 

Based on the region, North America led by the U.S. and Canada has been accredited for the maximum share in 2023. The growing demand for animal protein, along with various feed additives such as beta-glucan, D-mannose, and MOS in animal feed is driving the regional market growth.

Increasing livestock production in animal feed along with rising consumer towards the safe use of animal feed products is further fueling the market growth.
