The market is witnessing a surge in popularity due to a growing emphasis on healthy eating habits and natural, less processed foods. Consumers are increasingly drawn to fermented products for their numerous health benefits, particularly in enhancing immunity and promoting gut health. Awareness of the probiotic content in fermented foods and drinks has heightened consumer health consciousness, leading to the introduction of new products catering to wider consumer bases. Additionally, environmental sustainability is a key focus, with smart packaging techniques minimizing environmental impact while preserving products. From kefir culture to sauerkraut, fermented foods offer a diverse range of flavors and nutritional benefits, driving the expansion of this market across various retail channels, including supermarkets, hypermarkets, and online portals.
In addition, the market is gaining momentum due to consumer interest in Probiotic foods and drinks for their nutritive value and digestibility. Products like Remedy Kombucha are popular for their bioactive molecule content and antioxidant activity, which enhance flavor, texture, and sensory attributes. The fermentation procedure improves shelf life and nutritional content, supporting weight management and obesity prevention. These functional beverages aid in the digestion process and address digestive disorders, making them effective remedies for various health problems. The market's growth is reflected in increasing retail and e-commerce sales, driven by rising awareness of the benefits of these products.
The advances in packaging methods are the key factor driving the global market growth. Companies make distinctive choices with their packaging and use stand-up pouches to protect and publicize their products. Stand-up pouches are much easier to carry than a jar. Lightweight, portable containers are significantly easier to travel with, which makes customers likely to purchase and consume the product. The chances of becoming a staple grocery item increase if the containers are lightweight. Also, advances in the packaging have made it more convenient for producers to ship them at lower logistics costs than would otherwise be required with heavy packaging.
Many manufacturers, such as Lifeway Foods, are choosing environment-friendly alternatives such as green polyethylene made from sugarcane, a renewable resource. New green polyethylene bottles made from organic kefir from Lifeway Foods are recyclable and use plant-based material rather than fossil-fuel-based plastics. These packaging innovations are helping to broaden the appeal of such products among retailers and consumers. Thus, it is expected that more players will launch products with innovative packaging to entice consumers during the forecast period.
The rise in popularity of probiotics will fuel the global market growth. Probiotic food is prepared through the process of fermentation. Cultured or fermented dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, whey, raw cheese, and raw milk not only provide vitamins and minerals but also balance the gut flora. Vegetables such as cabbage, cucumber, beetroot, carrot, and pepper are also preserved through Lacto-fermentation.
Probiotics can improve the functioning of the immune system by reducing respiratory infections in consumers, thereby lowering the need for antibiotics. The regular inclusion of probiotics in a child's diet reduces the risk of acquiring influenza and falling sick frequently. The inherent benefits of probiotics have also encouraged physicians and pharmacists to recommend the consumption of probiotic food in one's daily diet. Such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The presence of substitute products is a major challenge to global market growth. The presence of various substitute products in the market is another challenge faced by the market. The market has various types of substitutes, such as baked goods, biscuits, confectionery, sauces, soups, and dairy products, which can serve as substitutes for various culinary applications.
Many varieties of these substitutes are being launched in the market currently, which can hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period. Thus, the presence of alternative products and the increasing number of new product launches and innovations can hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
