Understanding Corn Gluten Meal and Its Applications
Corn gluten meal is a protein-rich byproduct generated during the wet milling process of maize starch and occasionally ethanol production. Containing about 65% crude protein, it serves as a valuable source of protein, energy, and pigment for various livestock, including fish. Its highly digestible protein content makes it especially popular in pet food formulations.

Key Drivers Impacting Corn Gluten Meal Market Growth
Increasing demand for livestock production is a significant driver behind the corn gluten meal market growth. Livestock farming involves raising animals for meat, milk, eggs, wool, and other products consumed or used by humans. To meet the growing global appetite for these animal-derived products, production is scaling up worldwide. Corn gluten meal supports livestock farming by providing a high-protein feed ingredient that promotes growth, muscle development, and overall animal productivity across species like poultry, swine, and cattle. For example, in February 2024, Meat & Livestock Australia reported that lamb production in the country hit a record 246,003 tonnes in 2023, marking a 12.05% increase compared to 2022. This rise in livestock output is directly propelling demand for corn gluten meal.
How Corn Gluten Meal Meets the Growing Animal Feed Needs
The surge in animal feed consumption is another driving force behind the corn gluten meal market. Animal feed refers to the food given to domestic animals, particularly livestock, to support their growth and health. Corn gluten meal, naturally rich in protein and nutritional fiber, serves as a key ingredient in formulating balanced and nutritious feed. For instance, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) projected in September 2025 that total import tariff-rate quota (TRQ) volumes for chicken meat would reach around 121,600 metric tons in 2026, with the United States expected to supply over 80% of Canada’s imports. This example highlights the expanding scale of livestock production and animal feed consumption driving corn gluten meal demand.
