Choline chloride demand will reach 391.8 thousand tons by
2012, according to new report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Growth in poultry
feed additives is one of the major drivers of this increasing demand. Swine
feed additives and fish feed additives also offer significant growth
opportunities.
Choline chloride, a derivative of methylamine, is
predominantly used in animal feed additives as a principal dietary supplement in
poultry, swine feed and fish farming. The fastest growing markets are Central
and South Americas and the far Eastern countries, particularly China. As living
standards in these countries are improving steadily, poultry consumption is
being looked upon more favourably.
