Brewer’s Yeast Market Size To Reach $16.12 Billion By 2033

Brewer’s Yeast Market Growth & Trends

The global brewer’s yeast market is expected to reach USD 16.12 billion by 2033, and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Brewer's yeast, which was originally used in beer brewing, has spread beyond the brewery. A key factor propelling this market is the escalating demand for natural and functional components in the food and beverage sector. Loaded with vital nutrients such as B vitamins, protein, and minerals, brewer's yeast is an advantageous ingredient in numerous food items, encompassing bread, dietary supplements, and savory snacks. With a growing consumer focus on health and the pursuit of nutritionally enhanced products, the appeal of brewer's yeast as a natural nutrient source has significantly increased.

Furthermore, the growing health and wellness movement has been a key driver in the brewer’s yeast market. This yeast is frequently praised for its possible health advantages, such as bolstering the immune system, aiding digestive health, and potentially lowering cholesterol levels. As awareness of these health benefits increases, and consumers actively look for products that enhance general well-being, there has been a rising demand for supplements and functional foods that incorporate brewer's yeast.

In addition, the growing popularity of plant-based and vegetarian diets has created fresh avenues for the use of brewer's yeast. It acts as a practical protein source and a flavor enhancer in plant-based foods and drinks, assisting producers in meeting the needs of an increasing number of people who are either looking for alternatives to meat or aiming to cut down on their consumption of animal products. Brewer's yeast also imparts a savory and umami taste to these products, establishing itself as a multifaceted component in vegetarian cooking.

The swift growth of the craft beer industry has significantly escalated the demand for brewer's yeast. Craft brewers often experiment with various yeast strains to create a diverse array of beer styles and flavors, leading to an increased usage of brewer's yeast. The use of genetically modified brewer's yeast is becoming more common to enhance the flavor attributes of craft beer. This yeast is engineered to maximize its effectiveness in craft beer production, aiming to improve the flavor nuances of the beer while reducing its bitterness. As a result, the rising popularity of craft beers is expected to drive a greater demand for specialized yeast strains.
