The long-term demand opportunity for DDGS alone could be two million metric tons per year, valued at $500 million, which would make it the second-largest export market (behind Mexico), they said.

India, now the world’s most populous country, is also projected to become the second-largest global economy by 2075, the letter said, noting that it currently ranks as the fourth-largest feed market. According to the letter, India’s animal feed production grew by 13.4 percent in 2024—far outpacing the global average and signaling rising demand for protein-rich feed inputs like DDGS and SBM.
