The global yeast beta-glucan market size is expected to reach USD 353.9 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2022 to 2030. Immune-boosting properties associated with the product are likely to open numerous opportunities for the product growth in applications including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and animal feed. Yeast beta-glucan is a polysaccharide that binds with immune cells and improves immune responses within the body. Yeast beta-glucan has been considered to be a valuable food ingredient owing to numerous health benefits such as its ability to reduce upper respiratory tract infections, help reduce cholesterol, and improve gut health.
Saccharomyces boulardii, which is a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast), is effective for the treatment or prevention of various gastrointestinal (GI) problems, including a few different forms of diarrhea such as diarrhea associated with antibiotics, traveler’s diarrhea, and acute and persistent diarrhea. Yeast-based probiotic strain often finds application in animal feed owing to its low cost. The rise in upper respiratory tract infections, which reached 17.2 billion in 2019 in the U.S., has increased the emphasis on immunity-boosting medication and supplements such as yeast beta-glucan in the U.S., propelling the growth of the market in the country.
Furthermore, on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, the consumers are becoming more concerned about their health and immunity, which is likely to have a positive impact on the industry growth. The majority of the players operating in the market are focusing more on their supply chain and global distribution network in order to meet the increasing product demand in various application industries across the globe.
