Which Factor Is Expected To Drive The Palm Kernel Cake Market Over The Forecast Period?
The palm kernel cake market is anticipated to experience growth driven by increasing global livestock production. Livestock production involves agricultural activities focused on breeding, feeding, and managing animals to produce commodities like meat, milk, eggs, wool, and various other by-products. An expanding global population is boosting the demand for animal-based proteins, leading to an increase in global livestock production as farmers and producers broaden their operations to fulfill these dietary requirements. In livestock production, palm kernel cake serves as a vital, nutrient-dense feed component that aids animal growth, boosts milk yield, and contributes to better overall animal health, presenting an economical substitute for conventional feed options. For example, data from July 2025 by the UK’s Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs indicated that total meat production in 2024 saw a 2.6% increase, reaching 4,166 thousand tons. Its corresponding value grew by 5.8% to £11,300 million ($14,445 million). Concurrently, the value of eggs intended for human consumption climbed by 35% to £1.4 billion ($1.79 billion), with production volume expanding by 4.9% to 1,148 million dozen. Consequently, the expansion of global livestock production is anticipated to generate increasing prospects for the palm kernel cake market.

Palm Kernel Cake Market Trends Explained: What Is Changing And Why It Matters
Major companies operating in the palm kernel cake market are increasingly concentrating on policy adjustments, such as modifying export strategies, to address supply chain challenges and ensure domestic feed supplies. These policy shifts involve changes in government regulations or export rules that businesses must adapt to in order to secure local feed supplies and optimize trade opportunities. For example, in May 2023, Malaysia’s Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities, a Malaysia-based government department, revealed plans to re-examine its PKC export policy to prioritize the needs of its domestic poultry sector. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on imported feed, stabilize chicken availability, and lower feed costs. The ministry intends to collaborate with stakeholders, government-linked companies, and research institutions to enhance the quality and accessibility of PKC for poultry feed. This strategic change emphasizes the growing focus on utilizing local agricultural by-products to ensure food security and economic stability within the poultry industry.
