The Global Ethanol Co-Products Market was valued at USD 9.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during 2024-2032, driven by increasing ethanol production and the circular economy approach in fuel and feed industries. While the market shows robust growth in North America, emerging biofuel mandates in Asia-Pacific present significant untapped potential.
Ethanol co-products, including distillers grains and corn oil, have become essential by-products in biorefineries worldwide. Their role in animal feed formulations and emerging biofuel applications continues to gain importance as industries seek sustainable alternatives to traditional raw materials. Recent technological advancements in co-product processing further enhance their nutritional profiles and market value.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
North America leads global ethanol co-product sales with a 42% market share, benefiting from well-established corn ethanol infrastructure and strong livestock feed demand. The U.S. dominates regional production through integrated agricultural and energy policies that incentivize co-product utilization.
Europe shows accelerated growth driven by sustainability mandates, particularly Germany’s push for protein-rich feeds that reduce EU soy imports. Brazil maintains strong market presence through sugarcane-derived co-products, while China’s emerging ethanol policies position it as a future growth market despite current import dependence.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market thrives on three key pillars: the expanding global ethanol fuel mandate landscape, rising demand for sustainable animal feed ingredients, and technological innovations enhancing co-product functionality. Feed applications currently account for 68% of total consumption, though emerging biofuel applications show the fastest growth trajectory.
New opportunities emerge from protein concentration technologies that increase DDGS value, sustainable aviation fuel co-processing innovations, and the development of specialized feed formulations for aquaculture applications. Regulatory support for circular bioeconomy models further bolsters market expansion across all regions.
Challenges & Restraints
Market growth faces several headwinds, including fluctuating corn-to-ethanol margins that impact production volumes, transportation cost disadvantages versus traditional feed ingredients, and periodic trade disputes affecting international DDGS flows. Evolving feed safety regulations and consumer perceptions about GMO content in co-products present additional challenges for market participants.
