Feed Grade Dry Yeast Market to Reach $3,500 Million by 2035 with 4.2% CAGR

The Feed Grade Dry Yeast Market is growing in animal nutrition and livestock industries. It improves gut health, digestion, and overall productivity in animals.
Published 07 October 2025

The Feed Grade Dry Yeast Market has been gaining significant attention in the global agricultural and livestock industry. Feed grade dry yeast, derived primarily from the Saccharomyces cerevisiae species, plays a crucial role as a nutritional supplement in animal feed. Its usage spans multiple livestock types, including poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture, due to its numerous benefits in enhancing animal health, feed efficiency, and overall productivity. As the livestock industry continues to expand worldwide, the demand for high-quality feed additives, particularly feed grade dry yeast, is expected to grow substantially over the coming years.

The Feed Grade Dry Yeast market was valued at USD 2,200 million in 2024 and is projected to increase from USD 2,300 million in 2025 to USD 3,500 million by 2035. Over the forecast period of 2025 to 2035, the market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.2%.

Market Drivers

One of the primary factors driving the feed grade dry yeast market is the increasing demand for animal protein. With rising population levels and urbanization, the global appetite for meat, dairy, and aquaculture products has surged. Feed grade dry yeast helps in improving digestion and nutrient absorption in livestock, resulting in higher yields and healthier animals. For instance, in ruminants, yeast supplements stabilize the rumen microbiota, improve fiber digestion, and enhance milk production. Similarly, in poultry, yeast can boost gut health, reduce mortality rates, and enhance weight gain.

Another significant driver is the rising awareness of sustainable and antibiotic-free farming practices. Over the past decade, the livestock sector has faced scrutiny due to the overuse of antibiotics in feed, leading to antibiotic resistance. Feed grade dry yeast offers a natural alternative to antibiotics, promoting animal health without adverse environmental or health consequences. This aligns well with consumer preference for natural, organic, and sustainable animal products, further stimulating the demand for yeast-based feed supplements.

Additionally, the growth of the aquaculture industry has contributed to the rising adoption of feed grade dry yeast. Aquaculture has become one of the fastest-growing food sectors globally, with fish and shrimp production increasing to meet protein demands. Yeast supplements improve gut health, enhance immunity, and increase survival rates in aquaculture species, making them an essential component in modern feed formulations.

Market Segmentation

The feed grade dry yeast market can be segmented based on livestock type, product form, application, and region.

  • By livestock type, the market primarily includes ruminants, poultry, swine, and aquaculture. Poultry and ruminants dominate the market due to high production volumes and the need for feed efficiency improvements. Swine and aquaculture segments are expected to witness robust growth due to the increasing emphasis on sustainable production practices and enhanced feed utilization.
  • By product form, feed grade dry yeast is available in granules, powder, and pellets. Powdered yeast remains the most widely used form due to its ease of mixing with other feed ingredients and uniform distribution. Granules and pellets, however, are gaining traction for specific feed processing applications where durability and stability are essential.
  • By application, the market is segmented into feed supplements, gut health promoters, immune boosters, and others. Feed supplements account for the largest share as they enhance nutrient utilization, improve weight gain, and optimize feed conversion ratios. Gut health and immune-boosting applications are also witnessing increasing adoption due to the rising awareness of animal welfare and antibiotic-free practices.
  • By region, North America and Europe are currently leading markets due to well-established livestock and aquaculture industries, high adoption of feed additives, and stringent regulations promoting antibiotic alternatives. However, Asia-Pacific is projected to witness the fastest growth due to increasing meat and aquaculture consumption, expanding livestock farming, and rising awareness of feed supplements in emerging economies like China and India. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are also gaining traction due to the expansion of commercial livestock operations and growing investments in modern farming practices.

Market Trends

Several trends are shaping the feed grade dry yeast market. One notable trend is the development of advanced yeast strains with enhanced functionality. Innovations in biotechnology have enabled the production of yeast strains that offer superior immune support, stress tolerance, and nutrient absorption. Companies are focusing on R&D to develop customized yeast formulations tailored to specific livestock requirements, providing a competitive edge in the market.

Another trend is the integration of feed grade dry yeast with other feed additives, such as enzymes, probiotics, and prebiotics. These synergistic combinations improve overall feed efficiency and animal health, providing more value to livestock producers. For example, yeast combined with enzymes can enhance fiber digestion and nutrient availability in ruminants, leading to improved milk yield and weight gain.

Sustainability is also a major focus area in the market. Many feed manufacturers are emphasizing eco-friendly production methods for yeast and promoting its role in reducing methane emissions from ruminants. By improving feed efficiency, yeast reduces overall feed requirements and minimizes the environmental footprint of livestock production, aligning with global sustainability goals.

Future Outlook

The feed grade dry yeast market is poised for steady growth in the next decade. Rising consumer demand for high-quality animal protein, coupled with regulatory pressures to reduce antibiotics in animal feed, will drive market expansion. Technological advancements in yeast production, coupled with increased awareness of its benefits among farmers, are expected to further boost adoption.

Market players are also focusing on strategic partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions to expand their regional presence and diversify their product portfolios. Additionally, increasing investments in livestock infrastructure in developing regions present significant opportunities for feed grade dry yeast manufacturers.

However, the market does face some challenges, including price volatility of raw materials, stringent regulatory compliance, and the need for continuous research to maintain yeast efficacy across different livestock species. Overcoming these challenges through innovation, education, and efficient supply chain management will be crucial for sustained growth.
