The Global Brewer’s Yeast Market size is expected to reach $11.7 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 10.1% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 2,067.7 Kilo Tonnes, experiencing a growth of 9.6% (2019-2022).
North America is the largest producer of feed for horses, cattle, turkeys, pets, and other animals, so there is a high demand for brewer’s yeast there. Consequently, North America region acquired $1,675.0 million revenue in 2022. Aside from that, the US has the lowest feed prices of any economy, which is anticipated to create new expansion opportunities for major market participants over the course of the forecast period. In the United States, ruminant feed is the second most produced feed product. Some of the factors impacting the market are increased use in the food & beverage sector, rising adoption of vegan and vegetarian diets, and availability of synthetic vitamins and nutritional supplements.
Brewer’s yeast is a powerhouse of nutrients, particularly B-complex vitamins (such as B1, B2, B3, B6, and B9), proteins, minerals, and amino acids. It’s commonly incorporated into health foods due to its nutritional content. It’s used in products like energy bars, protein powders, and nutritional shakes to enhance their nutritional value and offer a natural source of essential vitamins and minerals. Brewer’s yeast, whether in tablet, capsule, or powder form, is employed in dietary supplements because of its substantial amount of B-complex vitamins. These supplements are popular for individuals seeking to boost their vitamin intake naturally. Additionally, vegan and vegetarian diets are often perceived as healthier choices due to their lower saturated fat content and higher intake of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. This heightened health consciousness has led to more individuals choosing these diets, contributing to the surge in demand for brewer’s yeast. For moral grounds like environmental sustainability and animal welfare, many people adopt vegan and vegetarian diets. As these factors continue to influence dietary choices, the market is expected to thrive and expand in response to the growing demand from individuals adopting vegan and vegetarian lifestyles. Therefore, these factors pose lucrative growth prospects for the market.
However, many consumers prefer the convenience, standardized dosages, and perceived purity of synthetic supplements over natural sources like brewer’s yeast. This preference could limit the demand for natural alternatives. Synthetic supplements are often considered more reliable in consistency and purity than natural sources like brewer’s yeast, which might impact the market demand for the latter. The extensive research and clinical studies on synthetic supplements may lead to more established health claims and scientific backing, influencing consumer trust and preference for these products. Some individuals may have allergies or sensitivities to natural sources like brewer’s yeast, pushing them toward synthetic alternatives, which are often formulated to be allergen-free. Thus, these aspects can limit the growth of the market.
