The nutritional yeast market in the Middle East and Africa is gradually gaining traction, driven by the growing consumer awareness of plant-based nutrition and the rising demand for vegan and vegetarian diets. Urbanization and western dietary influences have led to a noticeable shift in food preferences, especially in Gulf countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity and diabetes is encouraging a shift toward healthier, fortified food options fuelling interest in nutritional yeast as a high-protein, B-vitamin-rich supplement. However, the market faces restraints due to limited awareness in rural areas, relatively low product availability, and higher price sensitivity. A key opportunity lies in expanding distribution networks and health food retail chains across urban African regions, particularly South Africa and Nigeria. Emerging trends such as clean-label food products and the growth of the organic food industry are also likely to support future market expansion across the region.
