North America Feed Yeast Market Analysis

The North America Feed Yeast Market size is estimated at USD 740 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 820 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The North American feed yeast market refers to using yeast products in animal feed, particularly for livestock such as poultry, cattle, swine, and aquaculture species. Yeast in animal feed offers various benefits, including improving digestion, boosting immunity, enhancing feed conversion efficiency, and promoting better overall animal health. The market is supported by growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of yeast and increasing demand for sustainable and functional feed additives.

As the population grows, especially in North America, there is an increasing demand for high-quality animal-based protein, such as meat, dairy, and eggs. This has led to the need for more efficient animal farming practices. For instance, according to USDA, pork production in the United States was 12.25 million metric tons in 2023, which increased by 12.39 million metric tons in 2024. Feed yeast, known for improving digestion and promoting better feed conversion, is seen as an effective way to boost livestock productivity. In the United States, the demand for poultry products has led to greater use of feed yeast, especially for broiler chickens, to improve growth rates and feed efficiency.

Research and development in feed technology have improved the quality and performance of feed yeast products. This includes innovations in yeast strains, such as yeast that promotes higher digestibility or enhances specific health benefits for certain animal species. These advancements make yeast-based products more effective and attractive to farmers. For instance, the development of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with improved fermentation characteristics has led to enhanced bioavailability of nutrients, resulting in faster growth rates in poultry and improved weight gain in swine.
