USDAnalytics has released its latest Mannan Oligosaccharide Market report, projecting growth from $2.3 billion in 2025 to $3.6 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 5%. The report highlights MOS as a critical prebiotic ingredient transforming animal nutrition, aquaculture, and emerging human health applications. Derived primarily from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, MOS plays a pivotal role in pathogen binding, immune modulation, and gut microbiome optimization. With global regulatory pressure to eliminate antibiotic growth promoters and rising demand for functional feed additives, MOS is becoming a non-discretionary component in sustainable livestock and aquaculture production systems.
Recent developments indicate strong momentum in innovation and consolidation. Kerry Group partnered with Herbafood to develop standardized MOS formulations, while DuPont strengthened its portfolio through acquisition of MOS production assets. Phileo expanded into companion animal nutrition through probiotic-MOS blends, and Alltech introduced aquaculture resilience strategies targeting disease control. Lallemand launched advanced yeast-based products including LEVUCELL Trivantage and OPTIWALL, while ADM and other players expanded pharma-grade MOS applications for human dietary supplements, reinforcing cross-sector demand expansion.
