Dublin, Oct. 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b9l5hw/probiotics_market)
has announced the addition of the
"The Global Probiotics Market Broken Down By Product Function,
Applications and Ingredients" report to their offering.
The global probiotic products market was estimated at $24.23
billion in 2011. More than 500 probiotic F&B products have been
introduced in the past decade. These products have received varying
levels of success, mostly in congruence with their overall health
benefits. For instance, probiotic chocolates garnered more market
share than probiotic cheese and butter, as it offers more health
benefits without fortification. Taste and convenience are also
expected important factors for securing market share.
The probiotics market is a lucrative market from the perspective of
functional food suppliers and manufacturers. Product innovations
are expected to play a major role in increasing the share of the
market players. The leading developers and suppliers of probiotic
strains include Danisco (Denmark), Chr. Hansen (Denmark), and
BioGaia (Sweden). The products of these companies are used by FMCG
companies such as Nestle and Attune. Asia-Pacific is currently the
largest probiotics market, owing to the Japanese market which
introduced the concept to the world. Also, high awareness of the
benefits of probiotic yoghurts and fermented milk has helped in
increasing penetration of the market in APAC and European nations.
The U.S. market is also growing rapidly due to the general affinity
of the U.S. population towards the probiotic dietary supplements
and the concept of preventive health care.
This report highlights major types of probiotic products such as
functional foods and beverages, dietary supplements, specialty
nutrients and animal feed products; as well as the major
application areas such as regular consumption, probiotic therapy,
and disease prevention. The report also estimates the market size
of sub-markets for these products and applications in the major
markets of Europe, APAC, North America, and Rest of the World
(ROW). In addition to market forecasts, the report also highlights
key opportunity areas for the relevant stakeholders; analyzing
market trends, opportunities, drivers, and inhibitors for the
market.
The existing studies and third-party market reports do not provide
a comprehensive classification of the
probiotics market. This report breaks the market into smaller
product segments, which none of the other third-party reports have
done so far. In order to provide a deeper understanding of the
competitive landscape, the report profiles the top 20 companies in
