Consumers are increasingly adopting preventive healthcare measures, including the use of dietary supplements like probiotics, to support immune function and overall well-being. There is growing consumer awareness and interest in immune health with the rising incidence of immune-related health issues and the proactive approach to wellness, boosting the market growth.

The introduction of new products, formulations and technologies related to the development of immune health probiotic supplements, provides a huge range of growth opportunities for the market in the global market. For instance, in May 2022, BIO & ME, a Singapore-based company under AMILI introduced five probiotic formulations aimed at enhancing immunity, well-being, energy levels, mental health, and physical strength.

North America dominates the market growth with high probiotic supplement demand in the region. According to the Food and Health Survey conducted by the International Food Information Council in April 2022, around 33% of respondents in United States try to include probiotics in their diets, with 60% aiming to do so daily. Also, it is stated that 51% of Americans incorporate probiotics into their diets to promote gut health, 33% use them to bolster immune function.

Dynamics

Rising Prevalence of Inflammatory Diseases

As inflammatory diseases such as autoimmune disorders, allergies and gastrointestinal conditions become more prevalent, there is a heightened awareness among consumers about the importance of immune health. In May 2023, the University of Oxford reported a study of 22 million people showing that autoimmune disorders affect about 1 in 10 individuals.

Similarly, NIH reported that worldwide, 3 of 5 people die due to chronic inflammatory diseases like chronic respiratory diseases, heart disorders, cancer, obesity and diabetes. The prevalence of diseases associated with chronic inflammation is anticipated to increase for the next 30 years in the United States according to an NIH report updated August 2023. Many of these diseases are linked to imbalances in the immune system increasing demand for probiotic supplements that support the immune system.

New Product Introductions

With the growing consumer willingness to explore various new and innovative health-promoting products including immune health probiotic supplements, manufacturers are diversifying their probiotic supplement offerings, to meet the demand. Manufacturers are offering products that claim to reduce inflammation, support gut health, or enhance overall immune function, appealing directly to consumers seeking alternative or adjunctive treatments to conventional products.

The new offerings include developing specific formulations and strains tailored to target inflammation and support immune health. For instance, in March 2023, Nutrazee, a startup based in Hyderabad, unveiled Nutrazee Probiotic Gummies, which are designed to enhance digestive and immune health for both children and adults. These gummies feature a patented and clinically validated probiotic strain known as Bacillus Coagulans.

High Cost of Immune Health Probiotic Supplements

Developing probiotic supplements involves extensive research to identify and validate effective strains and other criteria to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the final product, adding more R&D costs. Similarly, maintaining high-quality standards in probiotic manufacturing requires adherence to stringent regulations and quality control measures which also result in higher production costs.

The high cost of probiotic supplements may limit price-sensitive consumers from purchasing these products, especially consumers with backgrounds of limited disposable incomes. Consumers may prefer alternative immune health products, such as vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements hindering the market growth.
