Domestic animal feed manufacturing firms are striving for growth to compete with FDI enterprises

In the agricultural sector, the animal feed industry is attracting high levels of investment from both domestic and foreign sources. Additionally, this industry is experiencing deep levels of international integration, with over 65 countries and territories participating in the exchange of technology, equipment, and raw materials.



A recent report indicates that the global animal feed market size reached USD 482.1 billion in 2021 and is forecasted to reach USD 589.4 billion by 2027, with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% for the period of 2022-2027. These figures demonstrate the substantial growth potential of the industry in the near future.


The significant increase in the animal feed market size can be attributed to various factors. One such factor is the growth of population and income, which leads to an increased demand for meat, dairy, and other livestock products. This demand presents opportunities for feed businesses to expand production and access new markets.


Furthermore, sustainability and food safety have become important priorities in the feed industry. Consumers are increasingly interested in the origin and quality of livestock products. As a result, feed businesses have focused on implementing quality management systems such as ISO, HACCP, and GMP to ensure the safety and quality of their products.


With its development potential and strong international integration, Vietnam's feed industry has the opportunity to enhance its competitiveness and promote the export of livestock products to the global market. This not only brings economic benefits to businesses but also contributes to improving the position and reputation of Vietnam's agricultural industry on the global stage.


The scale of development of the animal feed industry in the Vietnam

market

With abundant raw materials resources, Vietnam has a high potential for the animal feed industry to grow. As of 2021, there are 269 animal feed production establishments, with 90 being foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises and 179 being domestic enterprises. These facilities are predominantly concentrated in areas such as the Mekong River Delta, the Red River Delta, and the Southeast region.



In 2019, Vietnam's industrial animal feed output reached 18.9 million tons, and by 2021, it increased to 21.9 million tons, representing a growth rate of 15.9%. FDI enterprises account for approximately 60% of the output, while domestic enterprises account for about 40%.


While domestic enterprises own more factories compared to FDI enterprises, their market share is relatively modest. The total designed capacity of the entire industry stands at 43.3 million tons, with FDI enterprises accounting for approximately 51% and domestic enterprises accounting for about 49%.


However, Vietnam's feed processing industry boasts a relatively high total technology evaluation criteria score of 876 out of 1000. This indicates that the technological level of the country's feed industry is quite advanced compared to other countries. Moreover, domestic enterprises are increasingly expanding their scale, investing in modern technology, and implementing advanced management practices, placing them on par with FDI enterprises. Prominent examples include Dabaco and GreenFeed.


Current production facilities have prioritized the implementation of quality management systems in their production and business activities, utilizing synchronous automatic production lines.
