Benelux Animal Feed Organic Trace Minerals Market Outlook

the benelux region of europe is becoming an increasingly attractive market for organic trace minerals used in animal feed. organic trace minerals offer considerable nutritional benefits to animals compared to traditional inorganic minerals. these advantages are actively being sought after by farmers within benelux and hence the organic trace mineral market is expected to experience steady growth over the 2018-2032 period. organic trace minerals are relatively more expensive than traditional inorganic minerals due to their greater level of absorbability and bioavailability. that is why organic trace minerals are often used in the manufacturing of high quality, premium animal feed intended for production animals. this means that the benelux market for organic trace minerals is primarily driven by demand from the livestock industry. for this reason, animal feed is by far the largest segment in the benelux region. at the same time, it is expected that the human nutrition segment will also be a significant contributor to the organic trace mineral market. this is because organic trace minerals, particularly those sourced from food sources, are gaining traction in the human nutrition sector due to their health benefits. such sources offer a more natural and biocompatible alternative to traditional inorganic sources. the emergence of novel trace mineral chelates will also be a factor in driving the market. the chelation process offers beneficial improvements in terms of bioavailability and even toxicity over traditional mineral sources. this could have considerable implications for the purity and safety of the feed supply in the benelux region and thus result in an increasing demand for chelated organic trace minerals. it is also possible that the implementation of stricter governmental regulations may further drive growth in the benelux organic trace mineral market. governments have a vested interest in providing increased levels of safety for animals, plants, and the environment, thus the use of organic trace minerals may become a requirement in the future. from a technological standpoint, advancements in biotechnology are creating novel methods of manufacture for organic trace minerals. this could potentially allow for cost reduction in addition to improving the quality of the minerals. such initiatives are expected to help boost adopton of organic trace minerals in the benelux region. it is therefore clear that the organic trace minerals market is expected to grow steadily over the 2018-2032 period in the benelux region due to a combination of favorable trends in the livestock and human nutrition industry, technological advancements, and stricter governmental regulations.
