South America Feed Yeast Market Analysis

The South America Feed Yeast Market size is estimated at USD 450 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 520 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.90% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The South American feed yeast market is an essential component of the broader animal feed industry. Feed yeast refers to yeast strains specifically used in animal nutrition to support growth, digestion, and overall health. Yeast provides various benefits, including improved gut health, enhanced feed efficiency, and better immune system functioning in livestock. The market has seen steady growth over the years, driven by increasing awareness of animal health and nutrition, growing demand for sustainable and efficient animal feed, and the rising consumption of animal products in the region.

With a growing population and an increasing middle class in South America, there is a rising consumption of animal-based products such as meat, milk, and eggs. For instance, according to the OECD, the consumption of poultry meat in Argentina was 2,128.9 thousand metric tons in 2022, which increased by 2,157.2 thousand metric tons in 2023. This pushes livestock farmers to enhance productivity, and feeding yeast is critical. Increasing awareness about the importance of proper nutrition for livestock health, growth, and productivity is driving demand for feed yeast. These minerals support immune function, improve feed conversion ratios, and ensure overall well-being.

Countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Chile are major producers of livestock products in South America, and the expansion of poultry, swine, and cattle farming boosts the demand for specialized animal feed, including feed yeast. For instance, according to FAOSTAT, meat production in Brazil was 30,396,741.22 metric tons in 2023, which increased by 31,602,398.48 metric tons in 2023. Further, the adoption of advanced feed formulation technologies, along with improvements in mineral supplementation, has led to the creation of more efficient and effective yeast feed products, stimulating market growth.

The demand for alternative, functional feed ingredients that can replace traditional feed sources, such as soymeal, is growing. Yeast can provide a functional protein source and support gut health, particularly when the availability of traditional feed ingredients is uncertain due to price fluctuations or supply chain issues. In Argentina, where there are fluctuations in the availability of soybean meal, yeast-based alternatives are being used to provide a reliable protein source for poultry and livestock.
