November 2022, Market Research Future has published a Report on the Global Distiller’s Dried Grains with Solubles Market

Market Overview

Distiller’s dried grains with solubles market is expected to reach USD 15.75 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.86% during the forecast period.

Distiller’s dried grains with solubles is a co-product of ethanol production process or by-product of distillery industry which contains 10-12% moisture content. Distiller’s dried grains with solubles has high amount of protein, carbohydrates, fibers, and other nutrients, which makes it suitable for a reasonable alternative of livestock feed. DDGS is now used to produce dietary rich fiber diet fit for human consumption, this will help in reducing the heart related concerns within the population. Low cost alternative for animal feed is primarily driving the global distiller’s dried grains with solubles market.

Market Forecast

Distiller’s dried grains with solubles are compounds are used as a low cost alternative for animal feed, this characteristic property is exploited for manufacturing high quality feed for animals. Distiller’s dried grains with solubles are either co or by products of ethanol and distillery industry respectively. Increased consumption of livestock based food, industrial expansion of ethanol industries and alternatives to check the waste reduction has increased the demand for DDGS compounds.

Furthermore, need for reasonable alternative for animal feed and dietary fiber rich food for human consumption is driving the growth of the global distiller’s dried grains with solubles market. All these factors are expected to contribute to the estimated CAGR of 6.86% of distiller’s dried grains with solubles market during the forecast period 2022-2030.
