The market, based on type, has been segmented into DDGS, DDG, WDG, and others. The market for DDGS is estimated to dominate in 2018 and is also projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to several properties of DDGS such as high protein content, energy, and highly digestible phosphorus content, which are responsible for its growing use as a partial replacement for some more expensive traditional animal feed such as corn and soybean meal.

The distillers’ grains market, by source, has been segmented into corn, wheat, and others. The corn segment is estimated to dominate the market in 2018 and is projected to grow at a higher CAGR by 2023. This is attributable to the fact that this is the key grain used in ethanol production, resulting in an increasing supply of corn-based distillers’ grains, as a by-product. Further, the high availability of phosphorus content in corn-based distillers’ grains provides high energy and protein to livestock. It is also an economical alternative to other feed ingredients.

The market, by livestock, has been segmented into ruminants, swine, poultry, and others. It was dominated by the ruminants segment in 2017. The growth in demand for quality milk and beef products has led to the use of distillers’ grains in ruminant diets, due to their higher protein content than traditional feed such as corn. The poultry segment is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period.
