Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles or DDGS is a by-product of ethanol production from the fermentation of grains such as corn, wheat, and rice. DDGS is a nutritious feed ingredient, and it is mainly used in the animal feed industry, particularly for livestock-related applications like beef, pork, and poultry. The market for DDGS is linked to the biofuel and ethanol production industry since the value of DDGS is an essential co-product in most countries. The global demand for DDGS has been steadily growing over the past ten years, mainly due to the demand for quality and reasonably priced animal feed. Highly valued, this product has high protein and digestibility content, making it an attractive product for productivity and health improvements in livestock. Market Structure Regional Markets of North America The market can be segmented based on grain type used in the production of DDGS, the varying forms in which it may be produced, and the type of animal consumed. The largest region for the DDGS market is North America, which hosts ethanol production and exportation. The same market supplements the agriculture and energy industries with tendencies toward sustainability. Further growth will be facilitated by subsequent quality and consistency improvements in DDGS as ethanol production technology and feed science evolve.
