Expanding Feed Yeast Market Anticipated at a 5.0% Rate through 2034

In the dynamic world of agriculture, the feed yeast market is poised for steady growth in the coming years. This promising outlook is based on recent developments and research collaborations in key regions across the globe.

In Southeast Asia, collaborative research efforts in Thailand and Indonesia have demonstrated impressive improvements of 4-6% in broiler feed conversion ratios, signalling the potential benefits of feed yeast in poultry production [1]. Similarly, shrimp and tilapia farms in the region have adopted yeast to improve water quality and survival rates, driving double-digit feed mill growth [2].

China, the world's largest poultry producer, has seen an annual growth of over 3% in poultry production, increasing demand for yeast-based additives [3]. Stricter food safety and antibiotic-free regulations in countries like Vietnam have also accelerated the adoption of yeast-based probiotics [4].

The Asia Pacific region, including China and Southeast Asia, led the global feed yeast market in 2024 with a 45.9% share, approximately USD 0.7 billion [5]. Upgraded feed mills and cold storage facilities in the region ensure yeast quality and reduce spoilage.

Companies like Angel Yeast Company have launched high-protein yeast products, such as ProYeast, for aquaculture and poultry [6]. Alltech Inc. has expanded its Yea-Sacc yeast-based feed additives, focusing on improving gut health and nutrient absorption in livestock [7]. ADM has introduced NutriPass L, a yeast-based bypass protein for dairy cows, which aims to improve milk yield [8].

India's initiative to boost innovative feed technologies for dairy and poultry, worth ₹150 crore, in early 2025 further underscores the growing importance of feed yeast [9].

While a specific figure for the global feed yeast market is not readily available, the broader yeast market, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and other uses, is projected to grow from USD 4.19 billion in 2025 to USD 6.57 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 4.6% [10]. More directly relevant, the global feed palatability enhancers and modifiers market, which likely includes feed yeast as a component, is expected to grow from USD 3.2 billion in 2024 to USD 5.9 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 6.3% [11].

Considering feed yeast contributes to feed palatability and nutrition, its market growth is presumably aligned or slightly less than the nearly 6.3% CAGR forecast for feed palatability enhancers. Thus, by 2034, the global feed yeast market is likely to experience steady growth, roughly paralleling this feed palatability enhancers market expansion to an estimated size near USD 5.9 billion or somewhat less, depending on the yeast's exact market share within that segment [10][11].

In conclusion, the global feed yeast market is set to expand in the coming years, driven by growing demand in key regions, advancements in technology, and stricter food safety regulations. The market's growth is expected to mirror or slightly trail the growth of the broader feed palatability enhancers market, reaching an estimated size of around USD 5.9 billion by 2034.
