Probiotics Dietary Supplement Market Geographical Outlook

North America is anticipated to hold a substantial share of the probiotics dietary supplement market.

Probiotic dietary supplements prevent a body from bowel problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, and lactose intolerance infections, among others. The growing prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease in the United States is anticipated to majorly drive the demand for probiotic dietary supplements, thereby augmenting the overall market growth. According to the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), about 60-70 million Americans are suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, and in 2022, nearly 40% of the population stopped routine activities due to uncomfortable bowel symptoms.

Another major drive for the regional probiotic dietary supplement market’s growth is the increase in the older population. Digestive diseases have a high prevalence rate in the older population of the region, which is also witnessing significant growth in the US. According to the World Bank, in 2022, 17% of the US population aged 65 years and above, which increased to about 18% in 2023.  Furthermore, several new product launches and establishments of probiotics products in the US are further expected to propel the market growth for such supplements. For instance, in September 2022, new probiotics strains by Royal DSM, “Lactobacillus rhamnosus 19070-2” and “Lactobacillus reuteri 12246-CU”, received the US FDA approval, which enabled the company to strengthen its gut health solutions offerings in the US market and explore more innovations in dietary supplement category.
