The Middle East Animal Feed Yeast market demonstrates stable expansion, valued at USD 112.7 million in 2024 with projections indicating growth to USD 156.3 million by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 5.6%. This upward trajectory aligns with increasing livestock production and heightened emphasis on premium animal nutrition across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
Feed yeast products have become indispensable in modern animal husbandry, serving as protein-packed nutritional enhancers that improve feed conversion ratios. The industry is witnessing transformative shifts, particularly in Saudi Arabia and the UAE where poultry producers are rapidly adopting selenium-enriched yeast variants. What makes this market particularly dynamic is the accelerating transition toward antibiotic-free farming practices – a movement that’s reshaping procurement strategies across the region.

Regional Market Dynamics
Saudi Arabia commands a dominant 38% market share, driven by its massive poultry industry and government initiatives supporting feed innovation. The UAE follows closely, with Dubai emerging as a regional hub for specialty yeast imports serving aquaculture operations. Qatar’s market is growing at an exceptional 7.2% CAGR, fueled by preparations for major sporting events requiring high-quality meat products.
Israel presents unique opportunities in probiotic yeast development, leveraging its advanced biotech sector. Oman and Kuwait show increasing demand for spent brewer’s yeast in dairy cattle feed, while Bahrain focuses on premium equine nutrition solutions. The region’s harsh climate conditions actually work in favor of yeast-based feed additives, which help animals maintain optimal gut health during temperature extremes.
Key Growth Stimulants
Three major forces are propelling this market: First, the GCC’s 2030 vision programs that prioritize food security are driving investments in advanced animal nutrition. Second, consumers’ heightened awareness about antibiotic resistance is accelerating the shift toward yeast-derived alternatives. Third, the aquaculture boom in coastal nations creates fresh demand for specialized marine yeast strains.
Opportunities abound in several areas – halal-certified yeast products for Islamic markets, customized solutions for date palm byproduct-based feeds, and heat-stable variants for regional feed mills. The pet food segment is particularly promising, with UAE brands increasingly incorporating yeast beta-glucans in premium formulations.
Market Challenges
Volatility in global yeast supply chains creates pricing pressures, particularly for imported active dry yeast products. Regulatory divergences across Gulf states complicate product registration processes, while some traditional farmers remain hesitant to adopt yeast-based solutions due to unfamiliarity with proper dosage protocols. Transportation logistics in summer months also pose stability concerns for live yeast products.
The market faces intensifying competition from synthetic alternatives, though most industry experts agree that yeast’s natural origin and multifunctional benefits will maintain its competitive edge. Water scarcity issues in the region present both a challenge and opportunity – prompting innovation in water-efficient yeast production methods.
