Prebiotic ingredients act as multifunctional ingredient
Prebiotic ingredients act as food for probiotic bacteria present in the human and animal gut that eventually modify the colonic microflora, and stimulate the growth of non-pathogenic bacteria, particularly Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium. According to the FAO, usage of prebiotic ingredients in food products has helped balance the intestinal flora. Prebiotic ingredients include fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, inulin, mannanoligosaccharides, and xylooligosaccharides that have multifunctional properties and are associated with various health benefits such as improved gut health, cardiovascular health, bone health, and immunity. Thus, the multifunctional nature of prebiotic ingredients coupled with proven health benefits drive the prebiotic ingredients market growth as multifunctionality will lead to the use of these ingredients in multiple applications and will broaden the market coverage.
High manufacturing and R&D cost
The extraction process of prebiotics from vegetables and plants includes methods such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thin layer chromatography (TLC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and spectro-photometry methods, which all involve high R&D investments. Due to high R&D costs involved in the manufacture of prebiotic ingredients as compared to probiotic ingredients, there is a relatively large market visibility for probiotic ingredients, though both prebiotics and probiotics are equally beneficial to human and animal health.
Substantial investments in R&D activities and investments in laboratories, research equipment, and hiring trained professionals that require high investment for the development of prebiotic ingredients. Prebiotic ingredient applications are linked with health benefits which make it challenging for manufacturers to get an adequate return on investments on high initial investments.
Growth in the demand for prebiotic ingredients in China, India, and Brazil
Nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries, especially the API industry, have been experiencing tremendous growth in Asian region. The growth of the nutraceutical industry directly affects the prebiotic ingredients industry as the consumer preference in recent years is toward consuming dietary supplements and natural products for maintaining a healthy diet. Stated by Sarah Stanely, vice president, business development, Friesland Campina, Asia Pacific was by far the most active region in prebiotic products for galactooligosaccharides, yielding 57% of new products, versus 38% in EU, and 5% elsewhere. New product development was driven by new companies as well as existing players.
Prebiotic ingredients find their major application in infant nutrition; in Asia, the number of children affected by stunting under 5 years of age is the highest among South America, Africa, and Oceania. Many companies are investing in R&D for developing prebiotic products for infant nutrition in this region. The untapped markets in this region have wide availability of cheap labor, advanced technology, and less effective regulations regarding the usage of prebiotics as compared to North American and European countries. The leading market players are also expanding their facilities in China, India, and Brazil, considering the future potential demand in these markets.
This report includes estimations of the market size in terms of value (USD million) and volume (kilotons). Both, top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate and validate the size of the global prebiotic ingredients market and to estimate the size of various other dependent submarkets in the overall market.

The global prebiotic ingredients market is estimated to be valued at USD 4.07 Billion in 2017; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4%, to reach USD 7.37 Billion by 2023. Factors such as an increase in the adoption of healthy diets, a wide range of application in the food & beverage industry, and multifunctional nature of prebiotic ingredients are driving their market.
On the basis of application, food & beverages accounted for the largest share, followed by the dietary supplements industry, in 2016. The growth in the bakery, confectionery, and convenience food sectors is fueling the demand for margarine, as it is a cost-effective substitute for butter.
The prebiotic ingredients market, on the basis of type, is segmented into oligosaccharides, inulin, and polydextrose. The inulin segment accounted for the largest market share in 2016, as it can also be used as a fat replacer, sugar replacer, and texture modifier, as well as for the development of functional foods.
On the basis of source, prebiotics sourced from roots accounted for a larger market share in 2016, followed by grain-sourced prebiotics. The amount of prebiotic ingredients that can be extracted from roots is the highest among all other sources; the fibrous content of the roots are high. Hence, many companies provide prebiotics sourced from roots, thereby making it the largest segment, by source, globally.

Europe accounted for the largest share of the prebiotic ingredients market in 2016. This growth is mainly due to the ban on antibiotic growth promoters, imposed by the European Union, back in 2006. Since then, prebiotics have been majorly used by feed manufacturers in additives for animal growth and nutrition.
The major restraining factor for this market is low awareness regarding the difference between probiotic and prebiotic ingredients, and high manufacturing and R&D costs.
Companies such as BENEO (Germany), Cargill (US), DuPont (US), and FrieslandCampina (Netherlands) have acquired a leading market position through the provision of an expansion and broad product portfolio, along with a focus on diverse end-user segments. They are also focused on innovations and are geographically diversified.
