Swine Feed Probiotic Yeast Market Report 2025

The swine feed probiotic yeast market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.46 billion in 2024 to $1.54 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to scientific validation of benefits, industry adoption and success storie, shift away from antibiotic growth promoters, research on gut health in swine, awareness of feed efficiency.

The swine feed probiotic yeast market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.03 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to research and development investments, market expansion in emerging economies, demand for natural feed additives, expansion in swine production, focus on animal welfare and health. Major trends in the forecast period include growth in livestock production, rising focus on gut health, demand for natural alternatives, technological advancements in probiotics, regulatory support for feed additives.

The anticipated growth in livestock consumption is expected to drive the expansion of the swine feed probiotic yeast market in the coming years. Livestock encompasses farm animals excluding poultry, including cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, donkeys, mules, and other species. Swine feed probiotic yeast is utilized to enhance intestinal health in pigs by reducing pathogen loads and strengthening their immune systems, which decreases the reliance on antibiotics in swine feed. This reduction helps mitigate antimicrobial resistance and ensures that pork meat consumption is safer for the public. For example, in February 2024, the United States Department of Agriculture, a federal agency in the U.S., reported that in 2023, beef exports accounted for 11.3% of production, with a projected decrease to 10.6% in 2024. Additionally, the total population of cattle and calves is estimated at 87.16 million. Consequently, the increase in livestock consumption is propelling the growth of the swine feed probiotic yeast market.

The stringent regulations surrounding the usage of antibiotics are expected to propel the growth of the swine feed probiotic yeast market. Antibiotics, commonly employed to treat bacterial infections in both humans and animals, face increasing scrutiny due to concerns about antibiotic resistance and consumer demand for antibiotic-free products. In response to these concerns, regulatory bodies are implementing measures to curb routine antibiotic use in farmed animals. Notably, as of January 2022, the European Union has enacted laws prohibiting the routine use of antibiotics in farmed animals. This move aims to address global public health challenges related to antibiotic overuse and antimicrobial resistance, impacting animal welfare and international food imports. The adherence to such stringent regulations is driving the adoption of swine feed probiotic yeast as an alternative solution in the market.

A prominent trend gaining traction in the swine feed probiotic yeast market is product innovation. Major companies in the market are strategically focusing on enhancing feed use efficiency in their probiotic yeast offerings for swine feed. An illustrative example is the recent launch by Phileo by Lesaffre, a leading provider of animal welfare and performance solutions. In January 2023, they introduced Actisaf Sc 47 HR+, a probiotic yeast designed for both swine and poultry feed. The uniqueness of Actisaf Sc 47 HR+ lies in its microspherule shape, developed to inherently resist the combined effects of temperature, friction, and moisture during the pelleting process without the need for foreign material coating. This emphasis on product innovation underscores the dynamic nature of the swine feed probiotic yeast market.

Leading companies in the swine feed probiotic yeast sector are strategically investing in the development of novel organic yeast strains to secure a competitive advantage in the market. An organic yeast strain is a specific variant cultivated and processed in accordance with organic farming practices and standards. In January 2023, Lallemand Health Solutions Inc., a Canada-based probiotics manufacturing company, introduced an exclusive organic iteration of Saccharomyces boulardii, a widely utilized probiotic yeast strain in animal feed, including pig production. Positioned to meet the escalating demand for natural and organic options, this product aligns with consumer preferences, as 63% express a desire for 100% natural food and drink products. The organic S. boulardii is meticulously produced with selected organic raw materials, emphasizing its compatibility with organic agriculture and commitment to biodiversity protection. Offered in powder form, it is suitable for incorporation into organic dietary supplements, supported by research confirming its stability and viability.

Swine feed probiotic yeast refers to live microorganisms that, when used as feed additives for pigs, work to improve the animals' health by positively influencing the gut microbiota. These additives are utilized in pig feed to boost pig performance and optimize feed efficiency while concurrently reducing the environmental impact of pig farming practices.

The primary categories of products within swine feed probiotic yeast include live yeast, spent yeast, and yeast derivatives. Live yeast involves a type of dry yeast where the yeasts are not killed but instead rendered inactive through dehydration. Upon rehydration with a warm liquid, these yeasts become active again. Common genera encompass Saccharomyces spp., Kluyveromyces spp., and others, available in various forms such as dry, instant, and fresh variations.
