This segment is likely to grow at a moderate pace during the forecast period owing to the steady demand for high-quality pork, especially from Europe.

Global medicinal feed additives market in others segment

The medicinal feed additives market in aquaculture constitutes a significant share of the others segment of the global medicinal additives market and is predicted to witness moderate growth during the forecast period.

The fish segment in China is the largest consumer of this market in the world and is growing rapidly because of a rise in per capita consumption in the country.

Growing demand from the global aquaculture market is also expected to result in an encouraging prospect for feed manufacturers during the forecast period.
