Europe Brewer's Spent Yeast Market Size Worth $1.48 Million By 2028

Europe Brewer’s Spent Yeast Market Growth & Trends

The Europe brewer’s spent yeast market size is expected to reach USD 1.48 million by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 11.5% over the forecast period. The growing use of brewer’s spent yeast as an economic and low-cost nutritional additive is one of the major factors driving the market growth.

The presence of numerous beer producers in Europe with large-scale production capacities has resulted in ample availability of brewer’s by-products such as Brewer’s Spent Yeast (BSY) and Brewer’s Spent Grains (BSG). The ongoing developments for the extraction of proteins in BSYand expanding applications of food-grade BSY, such as non-GMO vegan egg white substitute made from the spent yeast, are expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period.

The brewer’s spent yeast is a good source of protein, vitamin, mainly vitamin B complex, as well as other ingredients such as beta-glucans, mono, and oligosaccharides, that have a high value in the nutraceutical industry. The composition and quantity of the amino acids in spent yeast are critical nutritional elements utilized in food supplements consumed to maintain nitrogen supply to the body and balance growth of human muscle and atrophy. The flavor-enhancing amino acids in spent yeast are also used in the food industry due to the presence of alanine, glycine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid.

Germany accounted for the highest market share estimated in the region. The Presence of major global players in the food industry, such as Dr. Oetker, along with the innovative and competitive landscape, and the industry’s openness to adopting novel ingredients for various applications in functional foods has contributed to the market growth. For instance, mannoproteins found in the cell walls of BSY are used as bio-emulsifiers in the food industry and are considered to be a healthy alternative to common emulsification agents such as palm oil.

The rising popularity of brewer’s spent yeast in the food industry along with the increased R&D investment for the product by food supplement companies to expand the utilization of product across different applications is expected to solidify the product’s growth over the forecast period. For instance, the research in the application of BSY in oil microencapsulation has led to the successful utilization of spent yeast hydrolysate as a cost-effective carrier material. The market is marked by the presence of companies that are vertically integrated to manufacture brewer’s spent yeast as well as the subsequent food applications as feed and food supplements. For instance, NOW Foods is forward integrated to manufacture debittered Brewer's Yeast Powder branded as a vegan superfood.
