Organic Yeast Market

Global Organic Yeast Market Size (2024 to 2029)

Global Organic Yeast Market size was at US$ 402.22 million in 2024 to US$ 662.63 million by 2029 with an annual development rate (CAGR) of 10.5%.

The yeast which is grown without the use of any chemicals is known as organic yeast. They are a better option for the environment and a healthier option for consumers widely used in the food industry. Organic foods are produced without pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, antibiotics, or ionizing radiation. In an era where "organic" became a buzzword due to its eco-friendly properties and health benefits, it's no wonder that organic yeast is a key ingredient in bread making. It is still a niche market because it is expensive due to high production costs, but it still holds its promise. Organic yeast is used in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and brewing industries. Currently, the food and beverage industry is in peak demand. While it is favored primarily by health-conscious, up-moving consumers today, it will draw attention in the future as public awareness of better production technologies and their benefits increases. Natural yeast is grown and processed according to organic standards. The raw materials from which the yeast is made are obtained from organic farming. Yeast has unique growth specifications for nutrients. You need a source of sugar and minerals, vitamins, nitrogen and trace elements.

The increasing propensity of consumers toward organic food will boost the market growth of organic yeast in the coming years.

Global Organic Yeast Market Drivers and Restraints:

The growing demand for organic bakery products around the world will substantially boost the organic yeast market in the forecast period. This trend is driven by the belief that organic foods are safer and less likely to cause food poisoning, avoiding the involvement of higher nutritional values, concerns about antibiotic residues, concerns about synthetic chemicals, and concerns about the effects on the health of genetically modified foods. It is due to the same perception of the consumer. The global food industry has constantly changed consumer tastes in recent years, and those who care about the environment will drive the growth of the product market. Foods made with organic yeast contain more whole-food ingredients than conventional bread. This is creating a demand for chemical-free ingredients that will drive growth in the product market. The increasing analysis of consumer health and well-being, along with the widespread demand for food, are some of the key factors expected to drive the growth of the organic yeast market. The market is growing with the increasing need for nutritious foods. Factors such as increased consumer awareness of health and wellness, an increased need to replace monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a food additive, and increased demand for organic food around the world are driving market growth. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is used as an additive to give food an "umami" flavor to enhance flavor. It helps enhance the presence of other active flavor compounds. However, the use of MSG has been clinically shown to cause health-related problems such as obesity, oxidative stress, and kidney and liver toxicity. Growing consumer awareness of the toxic effects of consuming monosodium glutamate in food and strict regulations governing the maximum permissible limit (MPL) has increased the demand for alternatives that can provide similar taste-enhancing properties without harmful effects. Organic yeasts such as yeast extracts, derivatives and nutritive yeasts are used as an alternative to MSG and provide an "umami" taste. Certain organic yeast manufacturers also claim that the products they offer could be used as an alternative to MSG. Additionally, the use of more 'umami 'flavors in foods as substitutes for monosodium glutamate (MSG) and the increasing demand for chemical-free ingredients are also some of the important factors driving the growth of the market. The global organic yeast market is growing with the increasing demand for nutritious foods.

Consumption of organic yeast products has a positive impact on the overall health of consumers, and one of the main factors that disappoints consumers is the high prices associated with organic products. The need to comply with country-specific legal regulations also adds to the price of the product. Regulatory bodies in different regions are different and the rules associated with each region may be slightly different. This allows manufacturers to focus on production in a way that conforms to the regulatory scenario of the importing region. The interpretations and concepts for each region vary and can increase the total cost of production of the product. This will eventually increase the price of the final product sold to consumers. Failure to comply with regulations can result in product bans or fines from the market. However, some manufacturers find loopholes in their systems with many counterfeit products on display in European countries and the United States. The product market may have limited growth during the forecast period, such as strict government regulations related to organic yeast production. Also, the cost of production of organic yeast is higher compared to previously produced yeast, which can result in lower product yields.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Organic Yeast Market:

The coroanvirus pandemic has made "panic buying" more prevalent in food and ingredients. Supermarkets have witnessed an increase in demand for yeast products, both active and inactive. To meet demand in the early stages of the pandemic, several vendors cut up bulk product packages and sold them in small bags. As time spent at home increases, there is a tendency to consume food cooked at home, which increases the demand for flour and yeast products. The need for convenience and the need to address health concerns has led consumers to increase their intake of healthy snacks, soups, and salads, which also fueled the demand for organic yeast products.
