[169 Pages Report] The probiotics market is estimated at USD 49.4 Billion in 2018 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0%, to reach USD 69.3 billion by 2023. The growth of the probiotics market is driven by factors such as health benefits associated with probiotic-fortified foods and technological advancements in probiotic products. Key drivers for the market’s growth are the increasing use of high nutritional content in foods due to increasing consumer awareness about healthy diets. Asian countries, particularly in Japan, the increase in the aging population is a lucrative opportunity for the sale of probiotic supplements in the region. One of the major restraints in the growth of the probiotics market is the international quality standards, regulations for probiotic products, and the high R&D costs for developing new probiotic strains.
Based on ingredients, the yeast segment is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period. The increasing demand for products incorporating Saccharomyces boulardii, a unique tropical yeast with several beneficial, effects on human intestinal health positively. Increasing awareness about the health benefits of probiotics has driven the consumption of probiotic yogurts in developing countries such as China, Brazil, and India. In Japan, a variety of probiotic-containing products are available in supermarkets, ranging from fortified drinks to candies containing strains from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera.
Based on application, the food & beverages segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the probiotics market in 2018. The products under this category include foods & beverages that offer distinct health benefits beyond fundamental nutrition, due to their specific ingredients. The food & beverages segment is the largest revenue-earning market across regions.
The demand for liquid probiotics has increased as compared to dry probiotics, due to its application in yogurt, which is the most popular source of probiotics. Other products that use liquid probiotics include kefir water, probiotic juices, and yogurt-based drinks, which are healthy options for daily supplementation.
The Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for the period considered for this study, due to the rising in disposable income and the increase in demand for nutritional food products, along with the growing technology base, leading to the increased demand for probiotics in the region. The rapid economic growth in countries such as China, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina have led to a significant increase in the disposable incomes of livestock owners. This, in turn, is driving the demand for probiotic-based food, making the Asia Pacific the fastest-growing market globally.
Health awareness among consumers is on the rise and most consumers are constantly in search of healthy food products for consumption. Probiotics have proven strong benefits related to health, more specifically to the human digestive system.
Probiotics are found in supplement form or as components of foods & beverages. Their integration with inexpensive health foods, such as yogurt, fruit juices, and cultured dairy drinks has contributed to a significant market size. The most commonly used bacteria include Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, which are found in various dairy products, including yogurt. In the dairy category, yogurt is the most popular option for consumption of probiotics. Manufacturers are coming up with a variety of options in the yogurt category; for instance, in 2013, Chobani, LLC (US) introduced a line of Greek yogurt in the US market, which has now become one of the leading brands across North America.
The increasing demand for probiotics has shown that customers are preferring products with proven benefits. The increased evidence of health benefits associated with probiotics for health restoration has increased the customer expectations related to probiotics for health curing functions. This inclination toward a safe, natural, and cost-effective substitute for drugs has led the application of probiotics as pharmaceutical agents. Beneficial effects of probiotics as pharmaceutical agents seem to be strain- and dose-dependent. Clinical trials have displayed that probiotics may cure certain disorders or diseases in humans, especially those related to the gastrointestinal tract
Substantial investments in R&D activities and investments in laboratories, research equipment, and high cost of hiring trained professionals create barriers for the development of the probiotics market. The scientific validation regarding the usage of probiotics in their applications becomes a success to this market. Probiotics applications are linked with health benefits, which make it challenging for manufacturers to get an adequate return on investments on high initial investments.
Probiotic strains and products are developed and produced as per the international food regulations. Due to the high cost of production, the cost of the final product is also high. Marketing and distribution of these products also add to the product price, as they require different packaging and distribution channels as compared to common products. Though consumers are aware of the health benefits of probiotics, their high prices are restraining them from buying the product, which is a challenge for manufacturers.

The study involves four major activities to estimate the current market size for probiotics. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. These findings, assumptions, and market size was validated with industry experts across value chain through primary research. Both, top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, the market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
In the secondary research process, various secondary sources such as Hoovers, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Dun & Bradstreet were referred to, in order to identify and collect information for this study. These secondary sources included annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, gold standard & silver standard websites, food safety organizations, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases.
The probiotics market comprises several stakeholders such as technology providers and research labs, biotechnological companies, genetic solution providers, livestock breeders, public and private research institutions, agencies, and laboratories and commercial stains manufacturers. The demand-side of this market is characterized by the rising demand for high nutritional content in food. The supply-side is characterized by advancements in technology and diverse application industries. Various primary sources from both, the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents
