In Taiwan, the nutritional yeast segment remains nascent but is positioned for steady expansion as part of the broader yeast-derived ingredients category. Growth is primarily driven by increasing health awareness and a growing vegan and vegetarian demographic up to 12–16 % of the population identifies as non‑meat eaters, largely influenced by ethical, environmental, and wellness concerns. As consumers seek plant‑based flavouring alternatives and nutrient‑rich, clean‑label foods, nutritional yeast renowned for its high content of protein and B‑vitamins is gaining attention in dietary supplements and culinary use. However, awareness remains limited, restraining broader adoption; many consumers are unfamiliar with the product, and price sensitivity poses a barrier, as nutritional yeast tends to be costlier than traditional yeast or seasoning options . Opportunities lie in educational campaigns, recipe integration, and its use in vegan snacks, sauces, and convenience foods, as the growing food‑processing sector in Taiwan seeks clean‑label, functional ingredients. Organic certification and expansion of e‑commerce platforms could further boost market penetration in the coming years.
