Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Beta Agonist Feed Additives Market size was valued at USD 92.08 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 147.67 billion by 2037, expanding at around 3.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of beta agonist feed additives is evaluated at USD 94.98 billion.
Escalating global demand for animal protein is propelling the market’s growth. As the population burgeons and dietary preferences shift, there’s an unprecedented surge in the need for meat products. Beta agonist feed additives stand as a solution to meet this demand, enhancing feed efficiency in livestock and poultry. They facilitate rapid weight gain, augment lean muscle development, and optimize feed utilization. This pivotal role in improving production efficiency addresses the pressing need to sustainably boost animal protein output, positioning Beta-agonists as a crucial element in meeting the world’s burgeoning appetite for protein-rich food sources.
Further, beta-agonist improves feed conversion rates in animals, enabling better utilization of feed resources. About 60–80% of fed cattle in the United States are estimated to have been grown using beta-agonists. As feed cost constitute a significant a significant portion of livestock production expenses, the use of these additives to enhance efficiency becomes essential for producers, driving the beta agonist feed additives market growth.

Beta Agonist Feed Additives Segmentation
Product (Zilpaterol, Ractopamine)
The ractopamine segment is estimated to hold 56% share of the of the global beta agonist feed additives market by 2037, because of the numerous benefits associated with the product. The amino acid ractopamine has been shown to stimulate lean muscle growth. About 80% of all beef, swine, and turkeys grown in the US are fed ractopamine (RAC). In addition, it is more efficient than zilpaterol and enables livestock to grow rapidly while consuming less feed. As a result, more lean meat is found in cattle which is projected to drive the growth of this segment over the forecast period.
Animal Type (Poultry, Cattle, Sheep, Swine, Buffalo)
The cattle segment in the beta agonist feed additives market is anticipated to garner significant revenue share. The segment will develop as a result of consumer demand for cow products, such as milk and meat, which are important sources of protein for diets. Dairy products and milk are in constant demand. Cattle therefore need to be given all the necessary minerals, trace elements, and health supplements for improved growth performance to meet the increasing demand for animal-based goods. Regular animal diets produce more, but to boost the cattle's general health and productivity, certain feed additives need to be added. All these factors are responsible for the segment’s growth.
