Pellet Mills Market: Introduction
- A pellet mill, sometimes known as a pellet press, is a machine used to produce pellets of biomass material. Pellet mills are classified into two main categories - small scale and large scale, based on their production capacities. The pellet mill was developed in the early 20th century to produce animal feed. Over the years, applications of pellet mills have expanded largely to produce wood pellets, fuel pellets, compressed plastic material, ceramic pellets, milk products, and agriculture residue, among many others.
Key Drivers of the Global Pellet Mills Market
- Rising demand for wood pellets and poultry feed is anticipated to drive the growth in the worldwide pellet mills market. Wood pellets are recognized as a key source of biomass fuel and can be utilized as an alternate fuel to conventional fossil fuel. Wood pellets are compacted biomass cylinders of average length up to 40mm, with diameter of 6mm or 8mm, and prepared from the by-products of the forest industry such as shreds, wood chips, and sawdust. The economic advantage of wood pellets is widely recognized and therefore it directly offers significant market opportunities for pellet mills.
- Demand for poultry products is expanding at a substantial CAGR across emerging economies. According to the USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture), world poultry production is projected to reach 131,255 Thousand MT by 2025. This in turn drives the demand for large scale pellet mills for efficient and cost-effective production of poultry feed pellets.
Opportunities in the Global Pellet Mills Market
- Increasing demand for innovative animal feed products to cater to new breeds in poultry farming as well as livestock cultivation is anticipated to offer significant market opportunities to pellet mill manufacturers in the coming years. New molecular breeding technologies continue to emerge, such as the use of major genes, marker-assisted selection, and genomic selection, to improve breeding accuracy and breeding efficiency. Poultry feed manufacturers are investing in new technologies and equipment to produce quality food for high yielding breeding stocks of alternate species.
