According to the research report titled, ‘Prebiotics Market by Ingredient (Inulin, Fructo-oligosaccharides, Galacto-oligosaccharides, Mannan-oligosaccharides), Application (Food & Beverages {Dairy Products, Beverages, Infant Food Products}, Dietary Supplements), and Geography - Forecast to 2029,’ the prebiotics market is projected to reach $6.61 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period 2022-2029. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the global prebiotics market across five major regions, emphasizing the current market trends, market size, and recent developments and providing the forecast till 2029.
Succeeding extensive secondary and primary research and an in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report conducts the impact analysis of the key industry drivers, restraints, opportunities, and trends. The growth of this market is driven by the increasing consumption of prebiotics, the rising demand for nutraceuticals, and the increasing demand for plant-based food ingredients. However, the lack of awareness regarding the health benefits of prebiotics restrains the growth of this market. The growing use of prebiotics in infant formulas is expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. Additionally, the growing demand for natural, organic, and clean-label ingredients is a major trend in the global prebiotics market.
The global prebiotics market is segmented by ingredient (inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides, mannan-oligosaccharides, and other ingredients), application (food & beverages {dairy products, beverages, bakery & confectionery products, cereals-based products, infant food products, and other food & beverages}, dietary supplements, animal feed & pet food, and cosmetics), and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the country-level markets.
Based on ingredient, the galacto-oligosaccharides segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly driven by its health benefits, such as relieving symptoms of constipation, preventing colon cancer, and promoting the growth of bifidobacteria. In the food and beverage industry, it is used in non-alcoholic beverages to enhance taste and in bakery products to improve taste and texture due to its low calorific value and moisture retention properties.
Based on application, in 2022, the food & beverages segment accounted for the largest share of the global prebiotics market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising demand for fortifying food with prebiotic ingredients and increasing health consciousness among consumers. Moreover, this segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to people’s inclination towards a healthy and active lifestyle, increasing investments to innovate new products in the food & beverages industry, and awareness of health benefits.
