IMPACT OF TARIFFS

Tariffs on Imported Machinery and Raw Materials Lead to Higher Costs and Slowed Growth of the Market

Recent implementations of tariffs on imported machinery as well as raw materials have significantly impacted the global feed mixing equipment market by not only increasing production costs but also limiting access to critical components. Major manufacturers who are heavily dependent on international trade are facing increased input expenses, which are often transferred to end-users in the form of higher equipment prices. This has resulted in reduced competition in global markets, disrupted supply chains, and a slowdown in taking procurement-related decisions by livestock farms and feed producers. This uncertainty surrounding future trade policies has also discouraged investment in manufacturing expansion and technological upgrades, which has further hampered the industry's growth.

MARKET DYNAMICS

FEED MIXER MARKET TRENDS

Data-Driven Decision Making & Connectivity, and IoT Are the Trends

Data analytics and sensors are being used to collect and analyze data related to feed mixing processes. This data-driven approach helps farmers make informed decisions about feed formulations, production efficiency, and resource utilization. These mixers are increasingly incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. This enables remote monitoring, real-time data analysis, and ability to adjust mixing parameters from a centralized location, thereby enhancing the overall operational efficiency.

MARKET DRIVERS

Farm Mechanization and Modernization Are Boosting the Utilization of Feed Mixing Machines

The adoption of modern farming practices, including mechanization, is growing in agriculture. Farms are increasingly investing in advanced machinery, including feed mixing machines, to streamline operations and improve overall efficiency. An increase in the feed production output is another factor prompting farmers and producers to become more aware of the importance of feed efficiency in optimizing production costs. Efficient feed mixing can contribute to better feed conversion rates, making it economically favorable for livestock farmers.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

High Initial Investment Cost and Limited Availability of Skilled Labor Force to Obstruct the Market Growth

The operation of feed mixing machines requires a certain level of skill and knowledge. Farms with limited access to skilled labor or lacking expertise in using these products may opt for simpler feeding methods. The initial cost and operational expenses associated with these mixers can be a barrier for farmers with limited financial resources. Some farmers may opt for more budget-friendly feeding methods that do not involve specialized equipment.

In regions where a variety of high-quality feed ingredients are readily available, farmers may choose to formulate their feeds using locally sourced ingredients, eliminating the need for specialized feed mixing equipment. Thus, some farmers may prefer traditional feeding methods, such as providing whole grains and forages separately, without the need for a mixer. This approach may align with established farming practices and local preferences, thereby hindering the feed mixer market growth.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Emphasizing Advanced Features and Establishing Robust Manufacturing Facilities to Leverage Opportunities

In the current period, the agriculture sector is productively feeding the livestock animals. As per a study, by 2050, arable farm land will increase by nearly 120 million hectares in developing countries, and it will see a decrease by ~70 million hectares in developed countries. Additionally, as per the study, the arable and pasture land dedicated to the production of feed represents nearly 80% of the agriculture land.

It is therefore providing opportunities for the feed mixing machine manufacturers to establish robust manufacturing facilities across the developing and developed countries so as to cater to farmers and feed mill owners across the globe. By establishing robust facilities, companies can provide opportunities to reduce wastage of feedstuff and improve nutrition benefits, thus contributing to animal health and fertility.

• For instance, in December 2022, Vermeer Corporation in adjacent to its existing production facility in Lowe, U.S., is developing its new production line for critical parts manufacturing.

SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS

By Product Type

Horizontal Mixers Will Retain Their Popularity Due to Greater Volume and Form Flexibility

In terms of product type, the market is categorized into horizontal mixers and vertical mixers.

In terms of market size, vertical feed mixers held a 53% of major share in 2024. However, horizontal mixers are set to achieve a better growth rate throughout the market forecast.

Horizontal mixers are often less sensitive to variations in batch size. Whether mixing small or large batches, the horizontal design of these machines offers consistent results. Moreover, adding liquid supplements or medications to the feed is often easier with horizontal mixers. The design allows for effective incorporation of liquids throughout the mixture.

Moreover, achieving uniform mixing in vertical mixers can be challenging, especially when dealing with different particle sizes and densities of feed ingredients. The vertical auger action may lead to uneven blending, resulting in variations in nutritional content within the feed, and thereby limiting the use of vertical mixers.

By Portability

Self-Propelled Mixers to Become Popular Owing to Better Maneuverability and Operational Benefits

In terms of portability, the market classification is made as self-propelled, pull, and stationary. Amongst all three categories, self-propelled is estimated to witness the fastest growth in the global market.

Self-propelled mixers will exhibit a CAGR of 4.64% over 2025-2032, often come with features that enhance the mixing process, ensuring a more consistent and thorough blend of ingredients. This leads to improved feed quality, which can positively impact the health and performance of livestock production. Moreover, its ability to mix and deliver feed directly to feeding areas reduces the chances of feed spoilage and waste. Farmers can control the portions more accurately, ensuring that animals receive the right amount of nutrition without excess feed being left uneaten.

The stationary segment is set to capture a limited share of the global market. In stationary setups, the feed must be manually transported from the mixing location to the feeding areas. This can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, especially on larger farms where animals are located at a distance from the mixing point. This can reduce the segment’s growth prospects.

Pull-type segment is expected hold 25% of the market share in 2025, which are dependent on the availability and condition of the tractor or pulling vehicle. If the tractor is not operational or requires maintenance, it can disrupt the feed mixing and delivery schedules on the farm. The speed of the pulling vehicle influences the speed of feed mixing and delivery with a pull mixer. This can result in variations in mixing times and feed distribution, impacting operational efficiency. These critical factors tend to discourage the farm and feed factory operators from using pull mixers.

By Capacity

Better Mixing and Utilization Will Increase Sales of Mixers with 10-20 M^3 Capacity

By capacity, the market is categorized across <10^3 M, 10-20^3 M, and >20^3 M.

Due to the increasing demand for feed mixers amongst the medium and small farms 10-20^3 M will observe a fast-paced CAGR of 4.66% over 2025-2032 outpacing other categories and will also emerge as a major shareholder in the market during the forecast period. These mixers are highly preferred in different applications as they allow farmers and feed factory owners to utilize double auger or single auger knives to mix the feedstock better.

Additionally, mixers with a capacity of <10 M^3 are anticipated to capture 28% share in 2025 and record a steady growth rate in the coming years. The segment’s growth is due to the machine’s usefulness in feed factories having less roof space.

Mixers with >20 M^3 capacity allow the utilization of three auger knives, designed specifically for horizontal mixers. Thus, this segment is expected to witness moderate yet steady growth.
