Growth in countries like India, China, and Japan has increased the need for meat and other animal products. Demand for feed additives, which give nutritional advantages and prevent diseases in animals and so boost earnings for the farmer, is expected to rise the next time as a result of this trend. These are some of the most important drivers of the projected rise in demand for main feed minerals.

Bioavailability of the minerals describes the number of nutrients an animal's metabolism can absorb and use. Consumption includes transport, cellular uptake, and biochemical change. Due to constraints on trace elements in feed to address environmental problems, cattle ranchers can't boost feed conversion efficiency without adding more mineral supplements. Manufacturers are developing organic versions of inorganic trace elements to increase bioavailability and animal productivity. Copper, zinc, selenium, and chromium are organic trace elements. To alter market demand for mineral supplements, farmers must learn about organic mineral chelates.

In 2021, Asia Pacific dominated the feed major mineral market globally and is expected to do so during the analysis period. The increasing population and growing economies such as India, China, and Japan are driving the demand for animal-sourced protein food in the region. This trend is to grow in the coming time which will drive the demand for feed additives as these provide nutritional benefits and prevent diseases in animals which increase profits for the farmer. These are some of the major factors for increasing the demand for major feed minerals demand during the forecast period.
