글루텐 사료 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Gluten Feed Market was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% to reach USD 2 billion by 2034, driven by the rising demand for cost-effective and nutrient-rich livestock feed. Livestock producers worldwide are increasingly leaning toward feed solutions that not only deliver on animal health and productivity but also align with sustainable and economical farming practices. Gluten feed, derived from the byproducts of grain processing-primarily corn and wheat-has emerged as a promising alternative that helps strike the right balance between performance and affordability. As feed costs continue to rise, producers are turning to ingredients that can offer essential nutrients like digestible fiber and moderate protein without driving up production expenses. The growing focus on sustainable agriculture and the need to ensure feed options do not compete with the human food chain have further propelled the adoption of gluten feed. Its compatibility with both intensive and extensive livestock systems, along with its ability to improve feed efficiency, has placed it firmly on the radar of large-scale farms and smaller operations alike. With ongoing innovation in formulation and enhanced delivery systems, gluten feed is fast becoming a go-to solution for improving profitability and meeting environmental goals in the feed industry.

As global livestock production expands, there's a clear shift toward ingredients that offer both nutritional depth and cost-efficiency. Gluten feed fits this profile perfectly by providing a reliable source of energy and fiber, particularly for ruminants. Its rising prominence is closely tied to the expanding corn wet milling and wheat processing industries, which have enhanced both its availability and affordability. In regions where high-protein feeds like soybean meal are cost-prohibitive, farmers are relying on gluten feed to maintain feed quality while keeping costs under control. Its adaptability in both wet and dry formats further boosts its appeal, especially as improved logistics and handling practices make it easier to integrate into diverse feeding programs. More farmers are recognizing how gluten feed can improve herd health and drive weight gain, leading to stronger overall performance.

The corn-based gluten feed segment held a 59.8% share in 2024 and is expected to maintain its lead with a steady CAGR of 5.4% through 2034. Its dominance stems from the widespread cultivation and processing of corn, making raw materials consistently available at competitive prices. As a byproduct of the corn wet milling process, corn gluten feed delivers a valuable combination of digestible fiber and energy, ideally suited for beef and dairy cattle.

By form, wet gluten feed captured the largest market share at 55.1% in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2034. Its minimal processing requirements, lower production costs, and higher palatability due to moisture content make it a strong contender in large-scale ruminant operations, especially those located near processing plants.

China Gluten Feed Market generated USD 208 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.8% through 2034, driven by surging demand for affordable animal protein. With robust growth in dairy, cattle, poultry, and swine sectors, China leads the region in gluten feed adoption. India, Vietnam, and Indonesia are also emerging as high-growth markets as livestock farming intensifies and feed budgets tighten.

Leading players such as Cargill Incorporated, Bunge Ltd., Roquette Freres, AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG, Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), Grain Processing Corporation (GPC), and Ingredion Incorporated are expanding regionally by boosting production capacities, refining product offerings, and forming strategic distribution alliances. These companies are also prioritizing sustainable processing and leveraging agri-tech innovations to enhance animal performance and optimize feed conversion efficiency.
