Expanding Feed Yeast Industry Projected at a 5.0% Rate of Growth Through 2034
Probiotic Yeast Market Soars in the Feed Industry
The global Probiotic Yeast market in the feed industry is on an upward trajectory, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 13.45% through 2030 [1]. This growth is driven by the increasing recognition of the health benefits associated with probiotic yeast, such as gastrointestinal and immune system support.
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to lead this demand growth, primarily due to innovations like industrialized probiotic strains from local sources like Tibetan high-altitude yeast [1]. This region's expanding feed industry and livestock sector are key growth drivers.
In terms of livestock sectors, probiotic yeast applications are strongly positioned in the feed industry, particularly in sectors focused on improving animal gut health and feed efficiency. While specific livestock sector market shares are not detailed, probiotic yeast's use for enhancing digestive health and immunity suggests that common livestock categories like poultry, swine, and ruminants will dominate adoption trends.
In 2024, Probiotic Yeast led the feed yeast market by type, with Poultry dominating the feed yeast market by livestock [2]. Asia Pacific captured a 45.9% share in the feed yeast market in 2024 [2].
Notable companies contributing to this growth include Angel Yeast Company, which launched ProYeast, a high-protein yeast product for aquaculture and poultry. Other industry giants like Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill boost economic activity through large-scale yeast production [3].
Associated British Foods PLC (ABF)'s subsidiary AB Vista launched VistaPre-T, a yeast-derived prebiotic for swine and poultry. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) introduced NutriPass L, a yeast-based bypass protein for dairy cows, improving milk yield [4].
In Southeast Asia, shrimp and tilapia farms have adopted yeast to improve water quality and survival rates, driving double-digit feed mill growth. Stricter food safety and antibiotic-free regulations in countries like Vietnam have accelerated yeast-based probiotic adoption [5].
In Thailand and Indonesia, research collaborations have shown 4-6% improvements in broiler feed conversion ratios. The Global Feed Yeast Market is projected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% [6].
Biomin GmbH introduced Mycofix Plus 5.Z, combining yeast with mycotoxin binders for safer feed, and expanded trials in Latin America. Alltech Inc. has expanded its Yea-Sacc yeast-based feed additives, focusing on improving gut health and nutrient absorption in livestock [7].
The yeast and yeast extract market overall reached significant scale in 2024, with probiotic yeast emerging as the fastest-growing segment [1]. The global dry yeast market, which includes probiotic yeast forms, is projected to grow from USD 54 billion in 2025 to over USD 110 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 7.4% [5].
In summary:
- The Probiotic Yeast market in the feed industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 13.45% through 2030.
- The Asia-Pacific region is expected to lead demand growth, primarily due to innovations like industrialized probiotic strains.
