Report Overview

The global probiotics market size was estimated at USD 77.12 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0% from 2023 to 2030. The growing awareness about the health benefits of probiotics, such as improved gut health and overall digestive function, is anticipated to boost the growth of the market across the globe. As more people become interested in taking a proactive approach to their health, they are looking for natural, non-pharmaceutical solutions that can help support their gut microbiome. The market penetration of dairy products is projected to be high on account of the increased consumption of functional dairy products for digestive wellness.

U.S. Probiotics Market size and growth rate, 2023 - 2030

Consumers across the world are largely focused on improving gut and microbiome health. According to a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), in 2021, 70% of the respondents consumed yogurt for general health and wellness. However, 60% of the respondents believed it was good for enhancing digestive health. It is anticipated that probiotics in dairy products, such as yogurt, will witness high penetration as they are known to control intestinal flora. Fast-paced lifestyles have led to increased health issues and gut problems, compelling consumers to increasingly focus on preventive healthcare.

Consumers are also shifting towards diets that aid in disease prevention, which is one of the primary factors driving the inclusion of probiotics in functional foods and nutraceuticals. Other factors contributing to the uptake of probiotics as a preventive healthcare measure include increased disposable income, improved living standards, and the growth of the elderly population. Moreover, consumers have become more aware of the benefits of probiotics for digestive health. Currently, several well-characterized strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal infections or treat similar conditions.

By consuming probiotics, the digestive tract can be replenished with beneficial bacteria, thereby improving digestive health. In addition, the field of probiotics has seen significant research advancements, leading to a better understanding of the mechanisms of action and potential health benefits of different strains. This scientific progress has fueled the interest of probiotic companies in leveraging this knowledge to develop strains with specific attributes and functionalities. For instance, in March 2023, England-based pharmaceutical company, FERRYX Ltd., announced the launch of the FX-856 strain that helps reduce the symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and ulcerative colitis.

Market Dynamics

Consumers have been seeking alternatives to conventional pharmaceutical interventions, which has driven the demand for natural and holistic health solutions. This trend has compelled probiotic companies to develop probiotic strains that can address specific health concerns and provide natural solutions to consumers.

Manufacturers are increasingly fortifying food and beverage products with enzymes, probiotics, and prebiotics. This is attributed to consumer demand for food items with higher nutritional and fiber content. Digestive ingredients such as probiotics are widely used in fish oil and yogurt to reduce the risk of gut health issues. This is expected to fuel market growth over the forecast period.

Increasing innovations in the field are expected to result in high product demand. General Mills, Inc. partnered with Goodbelly to launch probiotic cereals and yogurt, which are available in five flavors, namely vanilla bean, peach, coconut, strawberry, and black cheery. General Mills will be responsible for the production, sales, and marketing of the products. Plant-based products are also being introduced in the market. For instance, in February 2022, Optibac Probiotics announced the launch of all-in-one probiotic adult gummies sourced from plant fibers. The supplement contains Vitamin D, calcium, zinc, and bacillus coagulans.

Product Insights

The probiotic food & beverage segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 60% in 2022. Manufacturers are increasingly fortifying food and beverage products with enzymes and probiotics. This is attributed to consumer demand for food items with higher nutritional and fiber content. Digestive ingredients such as probiotics are widely used in fish oil and yogurt to reduce the risk of gut health issues. The increasing awareness of improving quality of life and the rise in disposable incomes have prompted consumers to adopt probiotics as a solution to their health issues. Manufacturers are expanding their businesses in response to the growing demand for probiotics in foods and beverages. For instance, in August 2022, Korea's Hy Co, formerly known as Korea Yakult, announced its expansion into probiotic business categories to include a wider range of products.

While the company previously focused primarily on functional fermented milk products, it is now diversifying into probiotic food, drinks, and supplements. The probiotic dietary supplements segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.13% during the forecast period. The growing inclination toward wellness programs on account of increasing health-related issues, such as blood pressure, unhealthy lifestyles, obesity, and improper diet, is expected to drive the growth of the probiotics dietary supplement industry. These supplements help build a strong immune system to treat several gastrointestinal diseases, dental caries, and breast cancer. Furthermore, many adults and children in the U.S. take one or more dietary supplements like probiotics to get adequate amounts of essential nutrients to enhance their health.

Manufacturers are investing in clinical research to develop new strains of probiotics that would help boost immunity, support women’s health concerns, and balancing of nutrition. The key players in the market are focusing on introducing products with new ingredient formulations. Rising awareness regarding weight management is a key factor fueling the market growth owing to increasing obesity rates and chronic diseases.In May 2023, Roquette introduced PEARLITOL ProTec, an innovative excipient specifically designed to enhance the stability of probiotic supplements. This new offering addresses the challenge of maintaining the viability and efficacy of probiotics throughout their shelf life.

Ingredient Insights

The bacteria-based ingredient segment accounted for a revenue share of 83.6% in 2022. These products offer numerous health benefits for both humans and animals. They serve as aflatoxin adsorbents, contribute to the prevention of colon cancer, and aid in the prevention of oral diseases, urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, bowel ailments, and other bacterial infections within the body. The market is experiencing growth due to the increasing popularity of functional foods, the adoption of probiotic ingredients in developing economies, and rising disposable incomes. In April 2023, Lesaffre's Gnosis introduced an enhanced quality specification for its well-established probiotic bacteria, LifeinU L. Rhamnosus GG.

This development is a response to the growing consumer interest in superior probiotics, driven by an increased understanding of the significance of the microbiome in maintaining overall health and well-being. The demand for yeast-based probiotics is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% during the forecast period. These products offer several advantages over bacterial probiotics, particularly in the treatment of intestinal manifestations, gastric acidity, and various types of diarrheas. Yeast-based dietary supplements are popular as they contain significant amounts of proteins, amino acids, vitamin B, and peptides. Furthermore, probiotic yeast is considered safe for consumption across all age groups.In September 2021, Angel Yeast launched a strain of yeast probiotic, Saccharomyces boulardii Bld-3. It is effective in combating diarrhea while simultaneously enhancing the digestive and immune systems in both children and adults.

End-use Insights

The human probiotic segment dominated the market with a revenue share of nearly 85% in 2022. The aging population is increasing globally, and this rapid rise is likely to lead to an increase in the number of chronic diseases, which, in turn, is expected to boost the need for microbes such as probiotics to control the threat of the leading chronic diseases such as colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and diarrheal diseases. In October 2021, Qingdao Vland Biotech Group Co. and ADM announced that they established a joint venture to meet the increasing demand for human probiotics in China. This 50-50 joint venture specializes in the production and distribution of human probiotics, leveraging the experience and expertise of ADM and Vland. By integrating a comprehensive range of technological, commercial, and production capabilities, the joint venture aimed at catering to the market's diverse needs.

The demand for animal probiotics is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period. There has been a rise in the adoption of probiotics in animal feed for farm animals in the past few years. The use of probiotics in animal feed has shown significant results in terms of improved immune systems, animal performance, and digestion. The increasing focus on animal welfare and the desire to reduce the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry have further fueled the demand for animal probiotics. In August 2021, Chr. Hansen, a leading bioscience company, introduced an innovative range of live probiotics specifically formulated for pet foods and supplements. These probiotics help promote optimal digestion, enhance immunity, and improve the overall well-being of pets.

Distribution Channel Insights

Sales of probiotics through hypermarkets/supermarkets accounted for a revenue share of 31.1% in 2022. The presence of a huge variety of probiotics in one place and the ease of purchasing have contributed to the dominance of supermarkets & hypermarkets as a distribution channel in the market in recent years. The regulatory framework surrounding probiotics plays a major role in their distribution through pharmacies and drugstores. Probiotic supplements are often categorized as over-the-counter (OTC) products, which can be conveniently purchased without a prescription. This classification allows probiotics to be readily available in pharmacies and drugstores, further increasing their accessibility to consumers. Sales through online stores are projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.6% during the forecast period.

Global Probiotics Market share and size, 2022

Online distribution channels have been experiencing significant growth in the probiotics industry due to several key factors. The convenience and accessibility offered by online shopping have contributed to the rising popularity of online purchases of probiotics. Furthermore, with online shopping, consumers can browse and compare a wide range of probiotic products from the comfort of their own homes without the need to visit physical stores. In January 2021, HempFusion Wellness expanded its distribution on Amazon by establishing a distinctive e-commerce store within the platform. This strategic move enabled HempFusion's renowned probiotic supplement brand, Probulin, to effectively enhance brand awareness while simultaneously boosting sales and providing comprehensive product information for its extensive range of scientifically formulated offerings.

Regional Insights

The Asia Pacific region accounted for a revenue share of 38.2% in 2022. Consumers in this region are increasingly seeking healthy products on account of rising awareness regarding fitness and maintaining good digestive health. Rising disposable incomes, improving the standard of living, and increasing acceptance of functional foods are the major factors driving the growth of the industry. In addition, the growing importance of gut health in overall well-being has increased demand for products that maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Probiotic supplements are seen as a convenient and effective way to introduce beneficial bacteria into the gut and thus have become increasingly popular among health-conscious consumers in the region. The demand in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.8% during the forecast period.

Probiotics Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing Inclination For Preventive Healthcare

The focus on preventive healthcare has increased, owing to the rising health issues and gut problems caused by consumers’ fast-paced lifestyles. Moreover, consumers’ inclusion of probiotics in healthy diets, increased disposable income, improved living standards, and growth in the elderly population are other factors that are driving the probitotics market. The increasing awareness of their benefits in digestive health have aided the probiotics market growth. Currently, several well-characterized strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are available for human consumption to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal infections or treat similar conditions. Their consumption can aid the digestive tract by repopulating it with beneficial bacteria. Consequently, the inclusion of probiotics in regular meals can help consumers in developing lymphocytes, which strengthen immune responses.

Driver: Development Of Efficient Probiotic Strains

The rising consumer preference for natural health solutions over traditional pharmaceuticals has spurred the growth of the probiotics industry. Companies are now focusing on creating probiotic strains that cater to specific health needs. This shift is a direct response to the increasing demand for holistic health alternatives. Concurrently, the probiotics sector has witnessed substantial advancements in research, leading to a deeper understanding of the potential health benefits and mechanisms of various strains. This scientific progress has piqued the interest of companies, encouraging them to leverage this knowledge to engineer strains with unique attributes. A notable example is the England-based pharmaceutical company, FERRYX LTD. In March 2023, they launched the FX-856 strain, designed to alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and ulcerative colitis. This development exemplifies the industry’s commitment to providing natural solutions to health concerns.

Restraint: High Product Development Costs And Stringent Government Regulations

The probiotics market’s growth is hindered by the high costs of research and development (R&D). These costs encompass setting up efficient labs, acquiring research equipment, and employing skilled researchers. The lack of incentives from regulatory bodies adds to the financial strain of developing new products. Consequently, companies struggle to allocate adequate resources to R&D, which could be used for innovation and product expansion. The regulatory environment for probiotic products is intricate and strict. The approval process for new probiotic ingredients or health claims is slow, with regulatory bodies often demanding substantial scientific evidence to support health claims. This requirement prolongs product development and launch, as companies must conduct thorough studies and provide extensive documentation for review.

  • We conduct primary research with industry experts through questionnaires and one-on-one phone interviews.
  • We pull from reliable secondary sources such as white papers and government statistics, published by organizations like WHO, NGOs, World Bank, etc., Key Opinion Leaders (KoL) publications, company filings, investor documents, and more.
  • We purchase and review investor analyst reports, broker reports, academic commentary, government quotes, and wealth management publications for insightful third-party perspectives.

Analysis: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilized different methods of probiotics market data depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.

  • Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.

  • Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting: Supply-side estimates for understanding potential revenue through competitive benchmarking, forecasting, and penetration modeling.

  • Demand-side estimates for identifying parent and ancillary markets, segment modeling, and heuristic forecasting.

  • Qualitative Functional Deployment (QFD) Modelling for market share assessment.

Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.

  • Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.

  • Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.

  • This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.

  • Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.

Quality is of utmost importance to us, therefore every year we focus on increasing our experts’ panel. Primary interviews are one of the critical steps in identifying recent market trends and scenarios. This process enables us to justify and validate our market estimates and forecasts to our clients. With more than 8,000 reports in our database, we have connected with some key opinion leaders across various domains, including healthcare, technology, consumer goods, and the chemical sector. Our process starts with identifying the right platform for a particular type of report, i.e., emails, LinkedIn, seminars, or telephonic conversation, as every report is unique and requires a differentiated approach.

We send out questionnaires to different experts from various regions/ countries, which is dependent on the following factors:

  • Report/Market scope: If the market study is global, we send questionnaires to industry experts across various regions, including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA.

  • Market Penetration: If the market is driven by technological advancements, population density, disease prevalence, or other factors, we identify experts and send out questionnaires based on region or country dominance.

The time to start receiving responses from industry experts varies based on how niche or well-penetrated the market is. Our reports include a detailed chapter on the KoL opinion section, which helps our clients understand the perspective of experts already in the market space.
