Probiotics Market Analysis

The probiotics market is projected to register a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people were looking for food products that give more benefits in less quantity and improve their immune systems. Probiotics have plenty of benefits for all age groups, due to which the market witnessed a surge in demand for immunity-boosting products. The market is witnessing significant product launches to cater to the growing demand.​ In Asia-Pacific, India witnessed the launch of the highest number of new food, drinks, and supplements with immunity-boosting claims in the last five months. The market players are expanding their product portfolios in different countries. For instance, in September 2022, Nestle Garden of Life launched its first probiotic product in China, which can be used in infant foods as well. ​

The increasing consumer preference for natural products is a major factor influencing the market's growth. Consumers' growing requirements for preventive healthcare and the effectiveness of probiotic bacteria on health are driving the market expansion. The demand for probiotics has increased due to an increase in the consumption of functional foods, which, in addition to providing basic nutrition, can also improve health. The majority of people suffer from obesity, digestive issues, gastrointestinal infections, vaginal infections, and other ailments. Therefore, market players are developing probiotic products to aid in the treatment of such diseases. In the probiotics market, the impact of the surging health concerns is moderate, but it is expected to grow in the near future.

The probiotics market is driven by robust demand for health-based products among consumers, especially from the younger generation. Probiotics are a part of functional foods and beverages. They are known for improving gut functionality and other benefits, such as boosting immunity. There is no clear distinction between probiotics-based pharmaceuticals and food products, with variations across different countries. Thus, the complexity in the regulatory, legislative, and technological aspects is serving as a major hurdle for the market's growth.
