Get in-depth analysis of the COVID-19 impact on the Prebiotic Ingredients Market
Benchmarking the rapid strategy shifts of the Top 100 companies in the Prebiotic Ingredients Market
Request For Special Pricing[153 Pages Report] The global prebiotic ingredients market size was valued at USD 3.65 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach 7.4 billion at a CAGR of 10.4% by 2023.
Prebiotic ingredients are the non-digestible dietary fibers that are beneficial for the microflora that is present in human and animals gut. Prebiotics has the potential as agents to improve or maintain balanced intestinal microflora to enhance health and well-being. They can be incorporated into many food products. Prebiotic ingredients are considered to be benefits for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, diarrhea, colon cancer, for calcium absorption, and to maintain bone health, skin health, immunity, and obesity. Awareness about prebiotics has gained popularity in recent years, stimulating scientific as well as industrial interest.
By source, the roots segment is expected to lead the market during the forecast period.
Roots accounted for the largest market share, followed by grains, and vegetables. Raw chicory root has the maximum prebiotic fiber content among all roots. Roots also vary in their fiber content by weight. For instance, the prebiotic fiber content by weight of raw chicory root is 64.6%, whereas that of raw Jerusalem artichoke is 31.5% by weight.
By type, the inulin segment is expected to lead the market during the forecast period.
Inulin is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period. Due to its medicinal properties, inulin is the most widely consumed prebiotic ingredient and hence held a major share of the market.
By application, the dietary supplement segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR.
The dietary supplement segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Increased preference for supplements, along with daily diets, drives the market of prebiotic ingredients in the dietary supplement segment.
Europe and APAC are expected to lead the market during the forecast period.
Europe and the Asia Pacific are the dominant regions in the prebiotic ingredients market. Together, the two regions accounted for more than 70% of the global market. Some factors that influence their share in the market include high demand for food & beverage products, the presence of major players in these regions, and awareness about the benefits of using prebiotic ingredients.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Prebiotic ingredients act as multifunctional ingredients
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, mannan oligosaccharides, and xylooligosaccharides. These have multifunctional properties and are associated with various health benefits, such as improved gut health, cardiovascular health, bone health, and immunity. The multifunctional nature of prebiotic ingredients coupled with proven health benefits drives the prebiotic ingredients market.
Restraint: Stringent trade regulations
The strict trade policies, especially in regions such as Europe and North America, hinders the prebiotic market from flourishing. The Asian markets are the most lenient in their regulations regarding health claims that may be used for prebiotic ingredients. The market policies in the US have strict rules; however, structural or functional applications are permitted. Manufacturers and distributors face challenges during production and distribution due to stringent laws & regulations. The FDA has been taking strict actions in those instances where processors have demonstrated an inability to comply with the requirements of the regulations.
Opportunity: Rapid increase in the number of research activities for various applications of prebiotics
There is an increase in the number of research activities for using prebiotics in various applications, such as in animal feed, and infant nutrition other than health benefits for humans. Other sources have also been identified for producing prebiotics such as food waste (for instance, soybean whey, a by-product of tofu manufacturing), and yacon (smallthus sonchifolius) root. Positive investigations of the health benefits of prebiotics by organizations such as USFDA, EFSA, and FAO have provided a secure platform for the discovery of new applications for prebiotic ingredients. These positive researches for health benefits create a platform for companies to produce prebiotic ingredients to be used for a wide range of applications. The growing awareness among consumers about scientifically proven health benefits of prebiotic ingredients and high R&D investments by key players for the production of innovative product offerings are the factors driving the prebiotic ingredients market growth.
Challenge: Low awareness regarding the difference between probiotic and prebiotic.
Probiotics are living organisms such as lactobacillus, bifidobacterium, and saccharomyces boulardii that have positive effects on health. They help in treating conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), infectious diarrhea (caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites), and antibiotic-related diarrhea. The major source of probiotics for humans is dairy-based foods containing intestinal species of lactobacillus or bifidobacterium. More progress has been made with clinical recommendations that make the safe use of probiotics evident in the vast majority. Probiotics and their benefits have gained wide recognition in Europe and Asia.
Prebiotics are non-digestible dietary fibers that enhance the growth of bifidogenic and lactic acid bacteria. Consumers are often confused between these two ingredients majorly due to the similarity of name and lack of information about prebiotics. The market for prebiotic ingredients as a dietary supplement in food & beverages is still to flourish, and there is less awareness regarding the incorporation of prebiotic ingredients in food & beverage items. However, these ingredients are growing gradually in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.
