Moreover, the yeast extract market size in the U.S. is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 882.97 million by 2032, driven by intensifying demand for natural-origin clean label food ingredients and additives.

Yeast extract is a clean-label ingredient used in food and beverage products such as sauces, soups, ready meals, and savory snacks. It is made from the same fresh yeast used in bread, beer, and wine production. It is characterized by a savory taste of its own and is used as a spice to round off the taste of food products. The rising alcohol consumption and the growing demand for bakery items will propel the market forward over 2022-2029.


The food and beverages industry has undergone profound disruption as the manufacturing plants were shut. Trade restrictions and the imposition of lockdown by the government led to the halt of an immense number of barriers to producers and distributors operating in the food and beverages industry, as there was a restricted supply of raw materials and ingredients.


Yeast Extract Market Trends


Rapid Adoption of Veganism to Positively Influence Market Growth  


Increasing adoption of veganism leads to the growing use of nutritional yeast extract, which is expected to be a prevailing trend. Since nutritional yeast has a cheesy taste and is gluten-free and vegan is gaining traction. The consumption of salt-free, organic, vegan, and plant-based protein products is growing globally. The usage of inactive dried nutritional yeast is growing in animal feed. As a result of these factors mentioned above, the demand for nutritional yeast increases rapidly. Yeast is a single-cell fungus that develops naturally on plants and soil and lacks a cardiovascular and nervous system. Thus, yeast product consumption leads to no animal suffering, cruelty, and exploitation, making it a suitable choice for the vegan population. The products are rich in minerals, vitamins, and antioxidant contents. The extracts are the leaven in various food products to improve their texture and flavor and add nutritional content. Moreover, the yeast extract is a suitable alternative for food manufacturing companies to develop naturally sourced products and free of animal-sourced ingredients.

RESTRAINING FACTORS


Availability of Substitutes to Hinder the Market Growth
