#What are the top economic and technological drivers pushing brewer’s spent grain market growth?
The increasing beer consumption is expected to propel the growth of the brewer’s spent grain market going forward. Beer is an alcoholic drink produced through the fermentation of sugars, usually sourced from grains like barley, wheat, or corn. The consumption of beer is rising for several reasons, including cultural and social events, economic growth, marketing and promotion, and changing drinking preferences. Beer consumption leads to the production of brewer’s spent grain (BSG), which is a byproduct of the brewing process. This grain can be repurposed for animal feed, biofuels, and food ingredients, reducing waste and adding value to the brewing industry. For instance, in December 2023, according to Kirin Holdings Company Limited., a Japan-based beverage company, in 2022, total global beer consumption rose by about 5.4 million kiloliters, or roughly 8.5 billion 633-ml bottles compared to the previous year, reaching approximately 192.1 million kiloliters. This represents a 2.9% increase from the prior year, or around 303.5 billion 633-ml bottles. Therefore, the increasing consumption of beer is driving the growth of the brewer’s spent grain market.

What evolving trends are creating new opportunities in the brewer’s spent grain market?
Major companies operating in the brewer’s spent grain market are developing innovative sustainability initiatives to reduce waste, enhance resource efficiency, and create value-added products. A sustainability initiative involves minimizing environmental impact by creatively reusing or recycling byproducts from brewing. This approach supports sustainable practices and contributes to a circular economy. For instance, in May 2024, Heineken France, a France-based brewing company, launched Project Circle. It is designed to boost circularity in brewery operations and cut down carbon emissions. It separates brewers’ waste grain (BSG), the solid leftover after brewing grains, into fibers and proteins. Proteins are refined for potential food uses, while fibers generate renewable energy. This process aims to reduce CO2 emissions significantly, with the pilot phase targeting a 50% decrease in scope 1 thermal energy emissions. The project supports HEINEKEN’s goals of achieving net zero scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and net zero across the entire value chain by 2040. By creating a closed-loop system, Project Circle advances the circular economy and aids in decarbonizing brewing operations.
