Rising awareness about the benefits of probiotic supplements is the key factor driving market growth. Probiotics are live microorganisms that can be consumed through fermented foods or supplement products. The consumption of probiotic supplements prevents the growth of harmful bacteria inside the digestive tract, leading to an improvement in nutrient absorption and bowel movements. These supplements are widely known for their ability to prevent diarrhea or reduce its severity. The consumption of commercial probiotic products improves the interstitial microbial balance by lowering the pH levels.
Further, studies have shown that the consumption of probiotic yogurt protects the immune system against colon, bladder, and breast cancers. The consumption of probiotics also helps to reduce dental caries, prevents oral candida infections, and manages periodontitis. Due to these health benefits, the demand for probiotic ingredients is expected to increase globally, which in turn will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Growing focus on customized solutions is the primary trend shaping market growth. Consumers are increasingly adopting personalized diets. Personalized nutrition offers growth opportunities to the manufacturers of food and beverage and dietary supplements. The rising awareness among consumers has led to personalization in the use of probiotics based on lifestyle and wellness programs. Several companies offer microbiome sequencing services to consumers, through which they can understand their gut problems, and based on that, they can go for a personalized diet.
Furthermore, aligned with market trends and analysis, many manufacturers are tailoring formulas based on individual needs. For example, Biena, a manufacturer of probiotic ingredients, offers tailor-made formulations for specific applications, which include the use of nutraceuticals in food and dairy processing and dietary supplements for natural health product formulations. Owing to such factors, the global probiotic ingredients market is expected to witness growth during the forecast period.
Production difficulties and instability of probiotic strains is a challenge that affects market growth. The production of probiotic cultures is a complicated process that involves fermentation, concentration, and lyophilization. The quality and viability of probiotic strains depend on the colony-forming units (CFU). The viability of strains should be ensured before they are formulated. This is because the count of active probiotic cells in the lyophilized bacteria decreases due to high compression, heat, and mixing. This is a major challenge for probiotic ingredient manufacturers.
Additionally, the instability of probiotic cultures is one of the major challenges in the market in the Americas. Most probiotic cultures available in the market are unstable at room temperature; therefore, proper refrigeration or microencapsulation is needed. Probiotics are unable to survive in the acidic pH of the stomach and cannot colonize in the gut. Thus, such factors hinder the manufacturing of probiotic strains, which is negatively affecting market growth during the forecast period.
Bacteria remained the leading source in the global probiotic ingredients market, driving significant growth. The majority of probiotic components such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, and others are obtained from bacterial strains, specifically Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These bacteria provide several health benefits, including better gut health, immune system support, and overall well-being. Additionally, as demand for functional foods and supplements rises and consumers become more aware of the importance of gut health, bacterial-derived probiotic ingredients are projected to maintain their global market leadership, which in turn is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the food and beverages segment will be significant during the forecast period. The F&B segment is expected to witness steady growth owing to the growing popularity of health and wellness food and beverages. People are looking for several supplements in their diets. Consumers globally are significantly striving to improve their digestive wellness and overall health and are increasing their focus on functional foods and drinks.
