Dublin, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Ruminant Methane Reduction Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global ruminant methane reduction market is experiencing significant growth and is projected to continue its upward trajectory. In 2025, the market was valued at $2.84 billion and is expected to reach $3.09 billion in 2026, with a CAGR of 8.9%. By 2030, the market is anticipated to grow to $4.31 billion, expanding at a CAGR of 8.6%. This growth is driven by several factors, including increased livestock populations, adoption of seaweed-based additives, and development of precision feeding technologies.

The rise in global climate commitments and demand for low-emission livestock products has intensified the focus on methane reduction. Key trends include the integration of methane-reducing practices in farm management and the expansion of specialty retail channels for these solutions. Major companies operating in this space are focusing on innovative feed additives that reduce methane emissions from ruminants.

Environmental concerns are a significant driver for this market, as awareness of climate change and the economic ramifications of environmental degradation grow. The adoption of ruminant methane reduction solutions addresses these issues by targeting greenhouse gas emissions, thereby supporting sustainable agricultural practices.

In May 2024, Elanco Animal Health Incorporated received FDA approval for Bovaer, a methane-reducing feed ingredient that can reduce dairy cattle emissions by approximately 30% per cow per day. Furthermore, in May 2023, Alltech acquired Agolin SA, enhancing its capabilities in ruminant methane reduction with plant-based feed additives certified for methane reduction by the Carbon Trust.

The ruminant methane reduction market faces challenges due to evolving trade relations and tariffs, impacting the cost and availability of imported feed additives and supplements.
