The yeast segment as a source is expected to hold one of the largest share in the beta-glucan market, in terms of value, in 2020

Baker's yeast grows aerobically and is dependent on sugar molasses, whereas brewer's yeast is not. Baker's yeast is estimated on the basis of consumption of baker's product while brewer's yeast depends on alcohol products. The immune-modulating abilities of the final product together with supportive research studies for the immune-modulating properties of baker's yeast has driven the demand for yeast beta-glucan globally.

By application pharmaceutical and food & beverage will be the key areas to drive the demand for beta-glucan, in terms of value, in 2020

Pharmaceutical products come in the form of capsules, liquid, powder, or tablets and are taken to balance the deficiencies of ingredients in diets and for curing problems, such as obesity, blood pressure, and diabetes. These products have been extensively studied for their immunological and pharmacological effects. Immunologically active, homogeneous, non-aggregated, and micro-particulate beta-glucan is prepared from saccharomyces cerevisiae which has resulted in growing applications across the industry. Moreover, the rising sedentary lifestyle and increased consumption of calorie-rich food, have caused numerous health problems, such as obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart attack. The intake of beta-glucan has helped in reducing the risk of these health problems with its health-promoting properties further driving the beta glucan applications.
