Global Distiller’s Grains Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global distillers’ grains market was expected to be valued at USD 12.31billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach from USD 13.15 billion in 2024 from USD 22.23 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.79% from 2024 to 2032

Distillery grain refers to a by-product of grain from the distillation plant or dry grind ethanol plants in wet and dry form. These are inexpensive alternative ingredients that are produced in large quantities. Distillery grain is an essential diet for livestock and poultry that provides an adequate nutritional source of cereal protein, fat, minerals, vitamins, fiber, oil, and amino acids. The supply of insufficient feed for livestock of insufficient nutritional quality has increased the demand for distillery grains. Continued growth in end-user demand for nutritious food products has boosted the market for distillers grains by replacing expensive traditional foods around the world. Factors such as the increasing popularity of dry distillery grain as a long-lasting product with an essential nutritional supplement for livestock that can be distributed and stored are driving distillery grain sales worldwide. Also, distillery grain is preferred by end users as it is a means of enhancing the physical growth of cattle, providing excellent milking and laying performance as well as ensuring meat quality.

Market Drivers and Restraints

The main drivers of the market for distiller’s grains are the availability of low-cost alternative ingredients for livestock, high-quality nutritious feeds, a source of adequate nutritional value according to animal nutritionists, and the growing concern about feeding cattle on a quality diet among end-users, and rising ethanol distillation units and biofuel plants around the world. Also, since corn-based distillery grains are an important ingredient in ethanol production, demand is increasing rapidly and is expected to drive growth in the global distillers’ grain market during the forecast period. Besides, new product development, collaboration with agribusiness companies, and product penetration through e-commerce are supposed to create significant opportunities for the global distillers’ grain market.

However, the lack of awareness of distillery grains in emerging economies, together with fluctuations in prices, are important factors restricting the growth of the global distillers’ grain market. Additionally, issues related to overconsumption of these grains are a factor that is likely to limit demand and, in turn, hamper the growth of the global distillers’ grain market during the conjecture period.

Impact of COVID-19 on Distillers’ Grains Market

The start of the coronavirus pandemic coincided with the peak harvest season. Even between different segments, the impact varies considerably between different regions and between producers and salaried workers. This impact will reverberate throughout the economy and will last for more than a few months. For crop production, most of the sowing process will be practically unaffected by the summer. Therefore, there would be no impact as such on the availability of seeds at the moment. Due to the disruption of world trade, farmers face shortages of agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. In a shorter period, it is to be expected that there will be a shortage. In the longer term, the delivery of fertilizers through international markets could become a problem as some production plants in China have been closed. Agricultural products are mainly perishable in nature, so farmers are forced to keep unsold products for longer. This has led to a reduction in the quality of the feed and an increase in production costs. Different agricultural sectors, such as farming and fishing, have been greatly affected by the pandemic.
