Key Market TrendsSignificance of Health Consciousness among Millennials

Probiotics are a driving force within the booming digestive health supplement category, and people of all age groups have been consuming them over past few years. However, the major consumption is observed among millennials due to their growing awareness of health and wellness through multi-channel publicity, which influences their consumption patterns to a large extent. This shows the awareness among people regarding the benefits of probiotic supplements. Millennials, being technologically advanced, update themselves with the facts related to health and, thereby, try to amend their routines and consumption habits accordingly. These consumers do not need practitioners’ or pharmacists’ approval for the purchase of probiotic supplements, propelling their usage in the market. This is inflating the demand for probiotic supplements, and it is therefore expected to drive the market for probiotics in the near future across Asia-Pacific, including the ASEAN region.

Indonesia holds a Significant Market Share

According to World Bank Data, Indonesia's health expenditure per capita increased from USD 27 in 2004 to USD 112 in 2018, growing at an annual rate of 11.52%. This rise is primarily due to increased demand from the younger population. Indonesians' standard of living is improving as a result of better-paying jobs that expand the middle class, which spends more on health products, including probiotic supplements. A rising population and greater consumer awareness of health issues, along with technological advancement and fast-paced life of people are leading to change in lifestyle patterns of people. A mix of traditionalist and experimentalist consumers across all age groups is leading varied consumption patterns leading to neglect of digestive health, especially for those living in cities. As a result of this upward consumer trend, numerous changes have occurred in the Indonesian probiotic supplement market, including research activities sponsored by probiotic manufacturers, which are positioned to fuel a healthy expansion during the projected period.
