The probiotics market is poised for growth, fueled by the increasing inclination of customers toward healthy foods and nutrient-rich dietary supplements. Modern consumers consider self-care an essential aspect of their lifestyle, leading to substantial dietary adjustments. The focus on holistic health and immunity has driven the heightened use of vitamins, minerals, immunity-boosting meals, organic products, supplements, and other nutritional aids. Probiotics, available in supplement form in various food and beverages, contribute health benefits to the human digestive system. An Indian survey by Habit Health and Nutrition in 2021 revealed that over 70% of respondents prioritize dietary changes to enhance overall health, immunity, and reduce stress and anxiety. Consequently, the growing customer preference for healthy foods is a key driver of probiotics market growth.

The probiotics market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing demand for alternative protein sources. As the need for protein rises, the food industry responds with rapid innovations, including lab-grown meat, plant-based meat, single-cell proteins from yeast or algae, and edible insects. This aligns with the broader trend of developing sustainable and healthy diets. In Canada, for example, the National Research Council projected a 14% annual expansion in the demand for alternative proteins, including plant-based proteins, by 2024. The overall protein demand is expected to double to 943.5 million metric tons by 2054. Hence, the rising demand for alternative protein sources is a significant contributor to the growth of the probiotics market.

Technological advancements are a notable trend in the probiotics market, with major companies focusing on innovative solutions to enhance the quality and life cycle of probiotic products. For instance, in April 2021, South Korea-based Cosmax NBT introduced Zeta probiotics technology, a uniquely engineered freeze-drying technique that preserves freeze-dried probiotics. This technology restores the cell walls and surface charges of probiotics, addressing potential harm during freeze-drying and increasing their survivability under simulated gastric and duodenal stress. Such technological advancements contribute to the market's evolution.

Strategic investments play a crucial role in advancing the probiotics market. Major companies are strategically allocating resources to initiatives that promise long-term benefits. Luxembourg-based Biotech startup, Probiotic Group, secured €2.5 million ($2.63 million) in new funding in July 2022 for the development of probiotic care and cleaning solutions with effective and sustainable cleaning properties. In a January 2021 deal worth $125 million, Denmark-based Novozymes acquired Microbiome Labs, a US-based company providing probiotic and microbiome solutions.
