Understanding Brewer's Spent Grain and Its Applications
Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is the fibrous, nutrient-dense material left after malted grains have been processed to extract sugars for brewing. Traditionally used as a high-fiber animal feed, BSG also finds applications in human foods, where it serves as a valuable ingredient to increase dietary fiber intake and promote nutritional benefits.

Factors Propelling Growth in the Brewer's Spent Grain Market
One of the primary drivers behind the expanding brewer's spent grain market is the rising consumption of beer globally. Beer, produced by fermenting sugars derived from grains such as barley, wheat, or corn, is gaining popularity due to cultural, social, and economic factors as well as evolving consumer preferences. As beer production rises, so does the volume of spent grain generated as a byproduct, which is increasingly repurposed for uses such as animal feed, biofuel production, and food ingredients, supporting waste reduction and value addition within the brewing industry.

For example, in December 2024, Kirin Holdings Company, a beverage firm based in Japan, reported that global beer consumption in 2023 increased by approximately 200,000 kiloliters (0.1%) compared to the previous year, reaching about 187.9 million kiloliters. China continued to hold its position as the world's largest beer-consuming country for the 21st year in a row. This steady rise in beer consumption directly supports growth in the brewer's spent grain market.

Regional Overview of the Brewer's Spent Grain Market
In 2025, Europe stood out as the largest regional market for brewer's spent grain. The broader analysis includes other significant regions such as Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East and Africa, highlighting diverse market dynamics across these geographies.
