MARKET REPORT FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2025 91 2. Variability of Efficacy The effectiveness of organic acids may vary depending on factors such as animal species, ration composition and environmental conditions. Organic acids work well in monogastric animals such as poultry and pigs, but may be less effective in ruminants. These different levels of efficacy limit the application of organic acids in all livestock segments. 3. Regulatory Obstacles Although the ban on antibiotic growth promoters has fuelled interest in organic acids, different legislation in different countries poses a challenge. Regulatory approvals, compliance with safety standards and restrictions on certain organic acids in animal feed may slow market expansion. 4. Competitive Alternatives The widespread use of alternative feed additives such as probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils and enzymes is a constraint to the growth of the organic acids market. These alternatives offer similar or even superior benefits in certain applications, shifting market demand away from organic acids. 5. Problems with Storage and Processing Some organic acids, such as formic acid and propionic acid, are highly corrosive and require special handling and storage conditions. The need for appropriate storage infrastructure and security measures increases operational costs for feed producers and animal producers, making the adoption of these products difficult. 6. Market Awareness and Adoption Rates In developing regions, many farmers and feed manufacturers have limited awareness of the benefits of organic acids. Dependence on cheaper alternatives such as conventional feeding practices, antibiotics and synthetic feed additives hinders the widespread adoption of organic acids, especially in cost-sensitive markets. • ABF Ingredients • Addcon • Adisseo • Adiveter • ADM • Agrifirm (Agrimprove) • Alltech • Amlan International • Anitox • Anpario • BASF Nutrition • Benson Polymeric • Bentoli • Bio-Agro Tech (ABTL) • BioAmber • Bioergex • Borregaard • Cargill • Celanese Corporation • Corbion • Croda International • Dow Inv • Dr. Eckel • Dsm-firmenich • DuPont • Eastman Chemical • Elekeiroz • Evonik Industries • EW Nutrition • Feichang Acid Chemicals • FMC Corporation • Fufeng Group • Fuso Chemical • Henan Jindan Lactic Acid Technology • IFF (Danisco) • Impextraco • Jungbunzlauer Suisse • Kemin Industries • Kemira • Kraton Corporation • Lallemand • Nature Works • Naturex • Noack Group • Norel Animal Nutrition • Novonesis • Novus International • Perstorp • Phibro Animal Health • Polynt-Reichhold • Provimi Holding • Quimidroga • Selko (Nutreco) • Showa Kako Corporation • Taminco • Tate & Lyle • Zagro SOME IMPORTANT ORGANIC ACIDS SUPPLIERS
