Global Brewer's Spent Yeast Market by Type (Dry, Liquid), Category (Primary Spent Yeast, Secondary Spent Yeast), Application - Forecast 2024-2030

The Brewer’s Spent Yeast Market size was estimated at USD 1.46 billion in 2023, USD 1.54 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.83% to reach USD 2.17 billion by 2030.

Brewer's spent yeast (BSY) is a by-product of the beer brewing process and the yeast used to ferment the sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide is collected and referred to as spent yeast after the completion of the fermentation stage. This spent yeast has limited reuse in the brewing industry due to the accumulation of non-yeast materials, changes in the cell wall structure, and the loss of viability and fermentative activity after successive brews. BSY primarily comprises Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a yeast commonly used to produce ales and lagers. Brewer's spent yeast retains many proteins, vitamins, and micronutrients, making it valuable for various applications outside the brewing industry. Rising demand for sustainable and cost-effective animal feed and growing health consciousness among consumers looking for natural dietary supplements are increasing the proliferation of brewer's spent yeast. Moreover, technological advancements in processing and a growing trend of craft breweries have created additional outputs, fuelling the market's expansion. However, stringent regulatory frameworks governing food and feed safety may impede the ease of market entry. Challenges in storage and transportation due to the perishable nature of the product can affect the quality and marketability. Moreover, potential applications in biotechnological research, such as the development of yeast-based bioactive compounds coupled with innovation in processing technologies to ensure the highest quality product for human consumption, are expected to create an opportunistic prospect for the market.

Regional Insights

In the Americas, the utilization of brewer's spent yeast is primarily driven by its application in the animal feed and food industries. Major countries in the region, such as the United States and Canada, lead in the innovation and repurposing of brewery by-products, leveraging technological advances in biotechnology and sustainability initiatives. The expansion of craft beer and microbreweries has increased the available volume of spent yeast, enhancing the market potential for its alternative uses. In the EMEA region, Europe, with its stringent regulations around waste and by-product utilization, has fostered a fertile environment for developing spent yeast as a value-added product. There is a strong focus on circular economy practices leading to collaborations between breweries and agricultural sectors for using spent yeast as animal feed and, to a lesser extent, in nutraceuticals and food additives. In addition, environmental regulations and the push for sustainable practices have encouraged the exploration of spent yeast in bioenergy production and as a source of bioactive compounds. The Asia-Pacific exhibits rapid growth potential for brewer's spent yeast, driven primarily by the expanding beer industry in China, India, Japan, and Australia. Furthermore, as these countries experience population and economic growth, demand increases for protein-rich animal feed, a key market for spent yeast. The APAC region is witnessing a rise in health consciousness among consumers, stimulating interest in spent yeast for dietary supplements and functional foods. Moreover, with increasing research on brewing by-products, there is a potential for spent yeast to be utilized in novel ways, including pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals, and in the promotion of yeast-based ingredients for the burgeoning food & beverage industry.
