According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Prebiotic Ingredients Market is accounted for $5.84 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $14.35 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 13.7% during the forecast period. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that are not digested by digestive enzymes or acids and help beneficial bacteria grow or function better in the human stomach. They aid in the improvement of gut barrier function, the strengthening of the immune system, the reduction of stomach inflammation, the improvement of overall digestive health, the reduction of the risk of diarrhea, increase in calcium absorption to promote bone density, and reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Growing Prebiotic Consumption for Gut Health
Its substances are found in over 1,400 foods and beverages. It is being used by manufacturers in a range of end-use industries to create a low-calorie food, which is fuelling the market growth. The market of it is expected to develop, mostly in American and European countries, due to the rising demand for healthy foods containing prebiotic ingredients. In the food processing industry, galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are widely used because they are easy on the digestive system.
Restraint:
High Cost
High production costs of prebiotic ingredients, the requirement for extensive testing procedures, and stringent rules for approval causing delays are major factors that could hamper the growth of the global market to a certain extent. Additionally, the long and well-controlled trials that must be conducted to produce prebiotic components are expected to be a barrier to the Prebiotics Ingredients Market.
Opportunity:
Growing Inclination of Plant Based Products
Manufacturers in several industries are attempting to include natural components in their products since consumers prefer plant-based and natural products. Natural dietary fiber is the principal source of prebiotic compounds. As people become more aware of the negative effects of antibiotics and other chemicals included in processed foods, they consume more prebiotic fibers. As a result, the growing preference for plant-based products is expected to have a favorable impact on the prebiotics market. Prebiotic fiber compounds that are heat and pH stable. The multiple advantages of prebiotics have increased their demand in the end-use industry, which is projected to fuel the prebiotics market's growth.
Threat:
Lack of Consciousness
Lack of awareness regarding the products and over consumption of mineral ingredients. Some of the causes that are anticipated to stymie the development of the market are the extensive and well-controlled experiments that must be conducted in order to manufacture prebiotic components.
Inulin segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
At ease sourcing of raw material for the extraction of inulin has accredited for a higher market share and faster growth rate. Chicory roots, the major source are widely cultivated across the globe, and the proliferation of products of high value in the market has paved the way for increasing arable land for inulin. Inulin has also shown fewer production barriers for the manufacturers as it can be easily incorporated into the processing of finished food products without altering their taste and texture. Another factor boosting the segmental growth is the low prices in the market.
The Food & beverage segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Due to an upsurge in consumer spending on goods that improve intestinal health. As consumers become increasingly aware of the need for protein consumption in maintaining adequate nutritional levels and muscle mass, market demand for these goods is growing. The increased importance of animal proteins and fortification of animal feed with bacteria that improve animal gut health is likely to boost prebiotics demand in the animal feed sector during the forecast period.
Region with highest share:
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share; this is accredited to the growing government initiatives to enhance consumer knowledge towards innovations in the field of prebiotic ingredients, and increasing focus on the research & development to adopt prebiotic ingredients in dietary formulations that offer health benefits. The market in this region is growing due to raising customer interest in a healthy diet and an increase in the number of applications in the food and beverage industry.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR, owing to the increasing demand for fortifying food with prebiotic ingredients among the population and rising demand from the food & beverage and animal feed industry. Rising awareness regarding health benefits and the surge in the aging population are some of the major factors to boost the market, both in food and beverages and pharmaceuticals, since prebiotics aid in digestion and healthy bowel movements. According to Sensus, the European bakery market witnessed 228 product launches in the last year, having labels mentioning inulin, oligofructose, or chicory root fiber on the packaging. 11% of these launches were in the United Kingdom. The European dietary supplement market is driven by the growing acceptance of these supplements among the aging population and the increasing incidences of lifestyle disorders.
