Drivers and Opportunities:

Drivers: Involvement of International Organizations in Probiotic R&D

The participation of international bodies, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Probiotics Association (IPA), and the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics, has significantly contributed to the recognition of probiotics' health benefits worldwide. These organizations play a crucial role in raising awareness about probiotics and establishing regulations and investment policies to drive research and development in the probiotics market.

Opportunities: EU Ban on Antibiotic Growth Promoters in Animal Feed

The European Union (EU) implemented a ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in animal feed in 2006. AGPs are chemicals or drugs added to feed to promote animal growth, but their usage has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing risks to human and animal health. The EU's ban, supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), has created significant investment opportunities for probiotic manufacturers. Feed producers are actively seeking alternative solutions, including probiotics, to enhance product quality while complying with the antibiotic restrictions. This presents a favorable market environment for probiotic industry growth.

Segments:

The online distribution channel segment is expected to achieve the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%.

Online shopping has gained significant popularity as a marketing and distribution channel in recent years. It is projected to gain increasing consumer interest in the coming years. Factors such as value for the price, convenience, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic have contributed to its growth. In developing countries like China, India, and Indonesia, online shopping is expected to become more popular due to busy lifestyles and time-saving benefits. Investments from internet giants Alibaba Group Holding Limited (China) and Amazon.com, Inc. (US) have further strengthened the online grocery sector. Probiotic products, including yogurt, juices, dietary supplements, and bars, are expected to be delivered through online channels. Online purchasing also provides consumers with detailed product information, allowing them to choose probiotics with specific health benefits. With increasing urbanization and lifestyle changes, online buying is projected to be the fastest-growing distribution channel in the probiotics market during the forecast period.

By ingredient, yeast is the fastest-growing segment in the probiotics market during the forecast period.

Yeast, as a probiotic, is widely used in various applications, including food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and industrial enzymes. The growing interest in fermented foods and beverages with potential health benefits has contributed to the rise of yeast probiotics. Probiotic yeast can serve as an alternative to antibiotics as growth promoters, reducing the incidence of Salmonella and antibiotic resistance in animals. The demand for fermented food is also increasing. These factors collectively contribute to the rapid growth of the yeast segment in the probiotics market during the forecast period.

By end user, the human segment dominates the probiotics market during the forecast period.

Developing economies in the Asia Pacific region, such as China, India, and South Korea, are experiencing a shift towards urbanization, leading to an explicit increase in the demand for convenient food products. This trend has propelled the growth of probiotic products like yogurt. The rising health consciousness and consumption of functional food and beverages further contribute to the dominance of the human segment in the probiotics market during the forecast period.
