Growth in the Animal Growth Promoters Market is majorly driven by the rising demand for animal consumption and consumption of livestock-based products, rising global demand for naturally produced growth promoters, and rising animal epidemics and climate change. Animal health products, including growth promoters and performance enhancers, are types of drugs and chemicals used for animal growth. These enhancers help to digest food more effectively and enable animals to grow faster, which, in turn, helps to improve productivity.
The global Animal growth promoters market is projected to reach USD 21.4 billion by 2026 from USD 16.2 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 5.7%.
