DDGS Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth Opportunities, Future Trends, Covid-19 Impact, SWOT Analysis, Competition and Forecasts 2022 to 2030

The Global DDGS Market Is Projected To Propel 15.45 Billion At A High 6.86% CAGR During The Forecast 2022-2030.
DDGS Market Overview:
Distillers grains are an excellent source of energy and are typically tested for 85% to 95% total digestible nutrients (TDN). The form of energy also makes distillers grains attractive to grazing cattle. Due to the removal of starch, the energy extracted from distillers grains is mainly digestible fiber and fat. Feed costs represent 60% to 70% of total production costs, so alternative feed ingredients in broiler diets need to be evaluated. Dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) is an alternative ingredient, especially in poultry diets. Some of the major constraints in the DDGS market are lack of knowledge in some developing countries, volatile grain prices, and the adverse effects of overconsumption. In 2021, U.S. production and exports will be 44 million tons and 11 million tons, respectively. Corn is the main source of corn worldwide.
DDGS Market size, estimates and forecasts are provided in terms of sales volume (K units) and revenue (million USD), with historical and forecast data for the period 2017 to 2030, with 2022 being considered as the base year. This report segments the global DDGS Market in detail. Regional market sizes related to products by type, by application, and by player are also delivered. In estimating the size of the market, we took into account the impact of COVID-19 and the Russian-Ukraine war.
Key Market Updates:
- In January 2022, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced that it would maintain anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tariffs on imports of DDGS, a key feed ingredient. The review process ends in 2023.
- In March 2019, Evonik launched a new testing service for corn DDGS used in feed production. AMINORED 2.0, an analytical service, allows you to quickly and reliably assess the nutritional value of distilled grains containing soluble ginseng (DDGS) to detect the effects of processing.

By Region:
North America continues to have the largest market for distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). DDGS is a by-product of distilleries. The majority (~98%) of DDGS in North America comes from dry milling plants that produce ethanol for the biofuel industry. The United States dominates the market owing to the extensive biofuel production in the country. Ethanol production has grown 288% over the past decade, from approximately 4.5 billion gallons to more than 17 billion gallons in 2018, driving a parallel expansion of the DDGS market. This growth can be attributed to regulatory oversight by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ensure that ethanol plants comply with preventive controls mandated by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This federal regulation requires facilities to follow non-hazardous and safe animal food production practices. These preventive controls provide formal assurance to global buyers that U.S. ethanol by-products remain safe feed ingredients. China dominates the world DDGS market. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties forced purchases to drop from about 6.18 million tonnes in five years to almost 157,000 tonnes in 2018. Mexico is now the largest buyer of U.S. DDGS, made possible by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) through its market development measures and trade interrelationships.

Significant Market Dynamics:
The DDGS market is growing due to the nutritional value of DDGS, the demand from the livestock industry, and the need for cost-effective nutrients. Distillers grains are an excellent source of energy and are typically tested for 85% to 95% total digestible nutrients (TDN). The form of energy also makes distillers grains attractive to grazing cattle. Due to the removal of starch, the energy extracted from distillers grains is mainly digestible fiber and fat. Feed costs represent 60% to 70% of total production costs, so alternative feed ingredients in broiler diets need to be evaluated. Dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) is an alternative ingredient, especially in poultry diets. Some of the major constraints in the DDGS market are lack of knowledge in some developing countries, volatile grain prices, and the adverse effects of overconsumption. In 2021, U.S. production and exports will be 44 million tons and 11 million tons, respectively. Corn is the main source of corn worldwide. Typically, corn concentrate distiller's grain solubles are added back to the kibble during the production of wet or dry distiller's grains with solubles. The nutrient profile of corn distillers grain concentrate makes it a useful supplement for beef cattle fed low-quality forage rations. DDGS is primarily fed to beef cattle, dairy cows, pigs and poultry.
