Global Probiotic Yeast Market – Overview
The term "Global Probiotic Yeast Market" refers to the segment of the market dedicated to the use of microorganisms, known as probiotics, as dietary supplements aimed at enhancing overall health. Probiotic yeast specifically denotes a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is non-pathogenic, a quality highly regarded due to its natural resistance to antibacterial antibiotics. This inherent resilience makes probiotic yeast a preferred choice within the realm of probiotics. Significantly, the inclusion of probiotic yeast in animal feed has demonstrated several advantages, including improved digestibility of fiber, enhanced performance in animal production, and increased yields of meat, milk, and eggs. These benefits contribute positively to the health of the animals and, consequently, human health. Also, as per the findings of the Mysore Central Food Technology Research Institute (CFTRI), yeast-based probiotic products have found applications in reducing the toxicity associated with resilient and harmful fungi that are resistant to conventional antifungal medications. With antifungal drugs being widely used, the expanding medical use of probiotic yeast has opened up new growth opportunities within the probiotic yeast market.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Probiotic Yeast Market
COVID-19 pandemic had a dual impact on the global probiotic yeast market. Initially, disruptions in supply chains, manufacturing, and distribution, along with a shift in consumer spending towards essential items, adversely affected the market. However, as COVID-19 emphasized the significance of bolstering the immune system, there has been a subsequent upswing in demand for immune-boosting products, including probiotic yeast. This heightened awareness and increased demand for health-related items have partially mitigated the earlier setbacks, offering a glimpse of market recovery and potential future growth. Also, the outbreak has stimulated demand for immune system enhancement products, further promoting the utilization of probiotics and positively influencing the market.
