The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing demand for superior quality meat by the customers. When compared to before the pandemic, about 18% of meat consumers believe quality (such as premium or value) has become more essential to them when purchasing meat, while only about 6% think it has become less important in the UK as of May 2021. Yeast is known for having a positive effect on the quality of meat, along with geese antioxidant capacity. Hence, their demand is growing, and it is expected to surge the growth of the global animal feed yeast market in the upcoming years.
Moreover, growing government initiatives and their favorable policies in order to encourage more consumption of yeast in animal feed is also estimated to boost the growth of the market. The usage of antibiotics was more prevalent in feeding livestock, which includes poultry processing, in order to increase animal production along with improve feed effectivity. However, feeding antibiotics has certain ill effects on animals. The widespread use of low-level antibiotics in feeds has raised concerns about potential negative consequences resulting from the development of resistant strains of organisms in hosts that could endanger both animal and human health. Antibiotic resistance in microorganisms was discovered not long after they were first introduced. Animals receiving antibiotics may develop and persist resistant microorganisms in their intestines. Hence, the use of antibiotics has been banned in many countries, further focusing more on yeast feeding.
Growth Drivers
Boost in Infectious Livestock Disease - Animals are suffering from a large number of infectious diseases all around the world. Owing to which the production of milk or meat or any kind of agricultural activity is estimated to restrain. Moreover, the spread of infectious diseases also has an adverse effect on human being. For instance, around two million people per year, mostly in low- and middle-income countries, pass away from neglected zoonotic diseases. Hence, to enhance animal health and performance, farmers and ranchers are looking for natural technologies and substances. In addition, there is growing pressure to achieve these objectives with a minimal or zero use of antibiotics. Therefore, the demand for yeast is estimated to boost.
Growing Ownership of Cattle- As of 2021, there were over 92 million cows and calves living in the United States, roughly maintaining the level from the previous year.
Rise in Fish Farming - There were over 57 million fish farmers and fishermen in the globe as of 2020. Hence, the demand for yeast is growing. Fish diets with yeast have enhanced growth rates and general intestinal health. According to a recent study that was published in the journal Aquaculture Reports, in 2021, adding 4 g of S cerevisiae to every kilogramme of aquafeed increased growth and feed utilization. The study team also discovered that adding yeast to Nile tilapia diets altered the intestinal architecture of the fish. Hence, the market is expected to grow over the forecast period.
Surge in Demand for Meat - It is anticipated that between 450 million and an about 560 million tons of meat would be consumed worldwide by 2050.
Upsurge in Milk Production - In the fiscal year 2021, around 200 million metric tons of milk were produced, an increase from about 190 million metric tons in the prior year in India. From the previous year, the nation's milk production increased by approximately 4 percent.
