Growing disposable incomes and increased health consciousness, particularly in developing nations, will support the probiotics market's expansion. The market for probiotics used in dietary supplements, such as infant formula, food supplements, nutritional supplements, and specialty nutrients, will expand due to rising demand for dietary supplements as a result of rising fitness objectives among individuals. The demand for probiotics in functional food and beverages has increased as a result of rising processed food consumption, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and increased media and health authority coverage of nutrition and the relationship between diet and health.
