1 | Market Overview
The global phytogenics market refers to plant-derived feed additives that enhance animal performance, health, and feed efficiency. These additives include essential oils, herbs, spices, and other botanical compounds that are incorporated into animal diets to promote digestion, modulate immunity, and act as natural growth promoters. Phytogenics are increasingly being used as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture.
Consumer-driven demand for antibiotic-free animal products, alongside regulatory bans on AGPs in several regions, has significantly increased interest in phytogenic solutions. These additives are acknowledged for their antimicrobial, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory properties, making them well-suited for supporting gut health and performance under stress conditions.
