Market Overview

Yeast, an unicellular microbe categorized as a fungus, is widely utilized as a feed additive. Animal feed contains yeast that has undergone fermentation. This mechanism is thought to provide helpful metabolites that boost intestinal health and nutrient utilization in animals. Therefore, feed enriched with yeast is linked to better immune system performance, improved immunity against infections, and improved growth performance. In addition to serving as an excellent source of crucial vitamins and minerals, yeast can also improve the general health and well-being of animals. Feed yeast is a type of nutritional yeast that is utilized as a supplement in animal feeds due to it contains a higher concentration of protein and amino acid, energy, and micronutrients than typical grains and oilseed meals when fed to animals. The most prevalent yeast utilized in dairy diets is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, often known as brewer's or bread yeast. Yeast increases milk output, improves animal digestion, increases plate size, aids in weight gain, particularly in hens, prevents numerous diseases, and improves gut health and farm animal performance. Yeast culture can also aid in fermentation and digestion in the intestines, a ruminant's stomach. Producers boosted their microbial research and development operations, which resulted in the emergence of innovative yeast additives for direct-fed microbiology and higher demand for feed yeast in the feed sector.

Driving Factors

It has been noted that yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces marxianus, and Candida utilis improve animal health; they supply nutrients to animals and thus are utilized as feed additives. Apart from animal feed, distinct yeast genera have several commercial applications in a variety of industries, including brewing, bakery, food and fragrance, medicinal, and bioethanol manufacturing. Furthermore, the addition of feed yeast to animal diets is thought to promote the growth of healthy gut flora. It is assumed that enhanced gut flora leads to more efficient digestion and nutritional absorption in animals. As a result, livestock-fed yeast supplements may show improved growth rates and general performance. The dissemination of information about the possible benefits of feed yeast for animal health and production is thought critical for market growth. As more livestock producers learn about yeast's benefits for intestinal health, nutritional absorption, and general animal well-being, its adoption rate in the feed yeast market is expected to grow.

Restraining Factors

The main source of yeast generation is molasses, a sugar byproduct. Molasses unavailability is an important issue for the worldwide yeast industry due to the intense competition for these raw materials from many industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, feed, and more. Several factors have contributed to this scarcity, the most significant of which being low sugarcane and sugar beet yield. As a result, its supply is predicted to be limited in yeast ingredient synthesis. With the high demand for brewer's yeast in the baking and alcohol industries, a significant shortage of raw materials for feed yeast production can have a further impact on the end product pricing.

Market Segmentation

The global feed yeast market share is classified into type, livestock, and form.

• The live yeast segment is expected to hold the highest share of the global feed yeast market during the forecast period.   

Based on the type, the global feed yeast market is divided into live yeast and inactive yeast. Among these, the live yeast segment is expected to hold the highest share of the global feed yeast market during the forecast period. Live yeasts are utilized as supplements due to they help avoid digestive problems in farm animals, strengthen the microflora in the gut, and improve fiber digestion, which aids in improved food utilization and gut health. Animals need a high-fiber diet for optimal health and vitality.

• The poultry segment is expected to hold the major share of the global feed yeast market during the forecast period.

Based on the livestock, the global feed yeast market is divided into ruminants, poultry, swine, aquaculture, and pets. Among these, the poultry segment is expected to hold the major share of the global feed yeast market during the forecast period. It helps to improve the digestive health of the animal and has a good impact on meat yield.  Adding yeast to poultry feed is one approach for enhancing the animal's digestive health and assisting in improved feed conversion ratios, which have a positive impact on meat yield. A combination of yeast and probiotics has been demonstrated to have the best effect on broiler weight gain and productivity.

• The dry segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global feed yeast market during the forecast period.

Based on the form, the global feed yeast market is divided into dry, fresh, and instant. Among these, the dry segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global feed yeast market during the forecast period. Due to its widespread use to improve the nutritional profile of baked foods. The component may be utilized in place of L-cysteine hydrochloride since it functions as a lowering agent.  Dry yeast is made from pasteurized and sterilized yeast cream, which kills the yeast and renders it incapable of leavening while keeping its nutritional value and other properties. The yeast is typically held at a constant temperature of 250°F (121 degrees Celsius) for about 20 seconds before getting dried.

Regional Segment Analysis of the Global Feed Yeast Market

• North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico) 
• Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Italy, Spain, Rest of Europe)
• Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of APAC)
• South America (Brazil and the Rest of South America) 
• The Middle East and Africa (UAE, South Africa, Rest of MEA)

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the highest share of the global feed yeast market over the predicted timeframe.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the highest share of the global feed yeast market over the predicted timeframe. This dominance is linked to variables such as a huge animal population, high feed additive penetration rates, and rising meat consumption in the region. The growing number of feed mills and feed output in countries such as India, China, and Indonesia are important drivers of market expansion. Furthermore, the demand for animal-based protein items such as eggs, meat, milk, and other meat products is rising in this region, which, along with a big population, is driving demand for feed yeast. Furthermore, rising demand for poultry meat and increased knowledge among livestock producers about the benefits of yeast in animal feed are driving the feed yeast market in this region. The region's animal feed and nutrition sectors are growing. The region's feed additives sector is expanding rapidly, which is assisting the expansion of the feed yeast market. Over the previous three years, China has been the region's leading producer of feed yeast.

Europe is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global feed yeast market during the forecast period.
