New York
City, 28 January 2019: The global Eubiotics Market is anticipated to reach USD 8.60 billion by
2026. The tightening and stringent restrictions on the use of antibiotic growth
promoters along with the surging consumer pressure on food safety and consumer
preferences are expected to be the major factors driving demand for these
products that work as substitutes to in-feed eubiotics.
Eubiotics or specific organic acids
such as essential oil compounds, benzoic acid, nucleotides and probiotics are
either used as single products or two or more eubiotics can be combined to
achieve higher response. Prebiotics are specified microorganism that positively
affects the host by improving the balance of pathogenic to beneficial bacteria
in the gut. Prebiotics are non-digestible oligosaccharides serving as substrate
for probiotics and/or competing with pathogens that regulate gut cell adhesion.
Direct acting gut flora modulators such as essential are compounds directly
modulating the microflora via growth inhibition. The product categories with
specific functionality are essential components animal feed. Increasing focus
on feed for higher productivity of farm animals has driven eubiotics demand.

Eubiotics such as organic acids are
currently used widely in weaning piglets during the transition from suckling
milk to consuming solid feed to aid in acidifying the feed to prevent bacterial
growth and improve digestion of feed ingredients. Also, the food industry
uses benzoic acid as preservatives. These advantages of these products are
essential factors that have contributed to its increasing market demand.
Several research projects have been
undertaken at the Pig research Centre of the Danish Agriculture and Food
Council on eubiotics effects on performance of animals. One of such projects
resulted that supplementation of 0.5% of benzoic acid had the same effect as 1%
benzoic acid. The antimicrobial properties of the active ingredients of
essential oils are significant. Two different commercial blends of essential
oils and essential oil compounds could alleviate the growth depression induced
by a challenge with Clostridium perfringens in broiler chickens. Piperin an, an
essential oil compound stimulates the production of digestive enzymes. These
characteristics of these products have been essential in attracting feed
processors for its utilization.
Competitive
Landscape and Key Vendors:
Key Findings from the study suggest
that the largest share of the eubiotics market in 2017 was of the Europe
region. Europe was the first region to put a ban on use of antibiotics as
growth promoters. Increasing concerns of animal safety and nutrition that
eventually lead to components of processed meat for humans are the major
concerns for the region’s ban on antibiotics. This ban created remarkable
opportunities for the eubiotics which are the direct substitutes.
Some of the leading industry
participants include BASF SE, Cargil, Koninklijke DSM N.V., Novozymes, Kemin
Industries, Inc., Addcon, Novus International, Inc., Lallemand, Inc., Beneo
Group and Chr. Hansen Holding A/S.
