According to the latest FMI report, sales of tocopherols are expected to reach US$825 million by 2032 and grow at a CAGR of around 7.5% through 2032.
Due to growing animal health concerns, the use of mixed tocopherols in animal feed is increasing. Due to the growing preference for high quality chicken and pork, tocopherol is in high demand in the animal feed industry. The product contains a good amount of vitamin E, which is considered important for animal consumption, which leads to an increase in the sale of tocopherols.
Vitamin E is essential for many pets, including dogs and cats, as it performs a number of tasks. For starters, vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and prevents cell damage caused by free radicals, which are linked to a variety of dangerous diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and others.
While vitamin E deficiency in pets is rare, cats are significantly more vulnerable than dogs. Because the diet of all fish often contains less vitamin E, which is necessary for natural fat metabolism, pets may be at risk of developing yellow fat disease if supplementation is not provided.
Supported by these factors, sales in the tocopherols market are expected to gain momentum at a healthy pace during the forecast period.
