Driver: Increasing nutritional benefits from yeast-based feed products

Ample quantity of yeast is present in the environment. Some yeast is isolated from natural products such as honey, fruits, soil, water, flowers, leaves, and stems. Feed ingredients such as grains, silage, and hay also have yeasts present in them. Most of the yeast species have no impact on animals and humans, while some have negative or positive effects. It has been observed that yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces marxianus, and Candida utilis have a positive impact on animal health; they provide nutrition to animals and thus are used as feed additives. Besides application in animal feed, there are many commercial applications of different yeast genera in various industries such as brewing, bakery, food and flavoring, pharmaceutical, and bioethanol fuel production.

Restraint: Competition for basic raw materials

The global supply of raw materials for yeast production can have a significant impact on the production of feed yeast and its extracts. The important source of yeast production is based on a sugar by-product, molasses. The shortage of molasses is a major concern for the global yeast market due to the high competition for these raw materials from different industries such as food, pharmaceutical, feed, and others. Such a shortage has arisen due to many reasons—poor sugarcane and sugar beet yield being the major one. Therefore, this is expected to limit its supply in the production of yeast ingredients. With high demand for brewer’s yeast used in bakery and alcohol industries, much more deficit in the availability of raw materials for the manufacturing of feed yeast can further affect the final product price. This would eventually affect the demand for yeast products among feed manufacturers and livestock growers.

The increasing awareness of health benefits associated with probiotic yeast has widened the scope of growth for the feed yeast market.

The use of probiotic yeast in ruminant feed resulted in improved health and higher milk production. Similarly, in pigs, yeast triggers an immune response to reduce the entry of pathogens in the body and also reduces the occurrence of post-weaning diarrhea.

In addition, the increasing fish consumption in regions such as Europe and South America encourages fish farming, which would further drive the market in the aquafeed segment. Supplementing feed yeast in right quantities to aquatic animals leads to an optimal supply of essential nutrients.

The current scenario of COVID-19 is projected to slighlty impact the market growth for feed yeast. The increase in consumption of animal-based products and the rise in concerns pertaining to animal health are factors that are projected to drive the demand for feed yeast. However, the shortage in labor, international trade restrictions and reduced consumption of livestock products are factors that are projected to have a short-term impact on the production and supply of feed yeast. According to Animal HealthCare Centre, USDA report, the companies are focusing on increasing their production capacity post-COVID-19 lockdown to meet supply gaps created in the domestic and international markets due to supply chain hindrances. This encourages various international governments to develop proper sanitary guidelines for feed additive production. Thus, the decline in 2020 in the feed yeast market growth is mainly due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Thereafter, as the restrictions of the government measures are likely to relax gradually, the market is likely to experience a rise in the coming years till 2025 as many feed additive producers have started seeking alternatives to antibiotics. There would be a strong consumer preference for meat products raised on natural feed additives and products, such as probiotic yeast, that also help reduce environmental impact.

The North American market is projected to witness a substantial increase in demand, as a result of the rise in awareness pertaining to these health-benefiting supplements, as well as the number of cases and casualties, resulting in high demand for immunity boosters and other supplements. Thus, the growth rate is projected to decline during the ongoing pandemic but will increase two-folds after the projected quarters.

Restraint: Decrease in returns on R&D investments and high costs of clinical trials and registration.

Excipients and nutraceutical products are clinically and chemically developed, and hence, require extensive R&D investments, clinical trials, and approvals from respective authorities in different countries/regions. In addition, developing such products is not a short-term activity, as it includes the formulation, trial & testing, and commercializing it into the market. However, high R&D investments do not give equal returns in terms of productivity, as even after successful molecule discovery, the cost of bringing a new nutraceutical product and a new excipient into the market is significantly high. In addition, other players in the market develop alternate and cheaper solutions, amidst the trial and testing procedures of one product or solution by another company, which leads to wastage of time, money, and efforts required to come to the later stages of that product, thereby disrupting the complete process of new product development. At the same time, the risk of failure also remains high. The cost of proving the effectiveness of an excipient through clinical trials is also relatively expensive and can be a major hindrance to the development of novel excipients in the market.

Opportunity: High use of excipients with multifunctional properties is witnessed as an emerging trend among key players.

Multifunctional excipients are a class of excipients that include pre-processed and co-processed excipients that provide added functionalities to the formulation. For example, Silicified Micro-Crystalline Cellulose is a processed combination of MCC and colloidal silicon dioxide. These functionalities include flowability, compressibility, particle size distribution, shape, and porosity. The term multifunctional excipient is also extended to products that serve multiple roles in the formulation of dietary supplement and functional food & beverage line of products; for example, Ludipress is a co-processed product containing lactose, Kollidon, and Kollidon-CL, which serves the role of DC diluent with binder and disintegrant properties.

The demand for excipients with improved functionalities in the nutraceutical industry remains high, while also minimizing the drawbacks of incorporated excipients. According to the International Pharmaceutical Excipient Council (IPEC), a co-processed excipient is “a combination of two or more compendial or non-compendial excipients designed to physically modify their properties in a manner not achievable by simple physical mixing, and without significant chemical change.”

By form, the dry segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the market in 2020.

The dry form of nutraceutical excipients accounted for a larger market share, as compared to the liquid form. The popularity of the dry form can be attributed to its cost-effectiveness and convenience in multiple applications. An increase in demand for dry beverage mixes with additional nutrients, including customized mixes and consumer preference for fortified beverages are fueling the growth of the dry segment in the market.
