PROBIOTICS MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS

Probiotics are gut-friendly microbes (bacteria or yeast) that play a pivotal role in balancing the intestinal microflora in humans and animals. Some of the commonly found strains in the probiotics include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Bacillus, Saccharomyces and Streptococcus. Notably, probiotics are now widely recognized as mainstream wellness products amongst the health-conscious population. Such consumer products have known to enhance the overall health of an individual, through various mechanisms of action, such as competitive exclusion to eliminate pathogens, promote gut colonization, and strengthen the epithelial barrier.

Interestingly, owing to the increasing health awareness amongst consumers and preventive health benefits offered by probiotics, there has been a significant rise in the global demand for probiotic supplements post the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the ongoing regulatory advancements related to specialty supplements encompassing probiotics have further driven this industry. Collectively these factors have propelled the companies involved in this domain to significantly invest in the development of novel probiotic strains. It is worth highlighting that, in 2023, French regulatory authorities granted permission to use the term probiotic on the labels of dietary supplements, given that these supplements offer a minimum of 107 to 109 live cells of the strain per day to the consumer. Further, online stores have made the entire purchasing process easy and significantly contributed to the improved accessibility of these products, thus providing consumers with a wide range of options.

Owing to the abovementioned benefits and the ongoing research and development (R&D) efforts aimed at creating more effective and novel probiotics, global probiotics market growth is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period.
