Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of maintaining a healthy diet and proper gut health to support overall well-being. Many scientific studies highlight the importance of gut microbiota in immunity, digestion, and mental health. According to a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) in 2022, 66% of Americans were concerned about digestive health, with many seeking foods that can improve gut health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a sharp rise in the popularity of functional foods and dietary supplements, as people have been prioritizing their health and actively searching for healthy alternatives and fitness activities to prevent lifestyle-related illnesses.
Moreover, preventive health also encompasses the management and prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, which are increasingly prevalent in North America. Therefore, consumers are increasingly purchasing functional foods, including probiotics, as they help mitigate the risks associated with these conditions. To keep up with the growing popularity of probiotic food products, several companies are launching a wide range of products. For instance, in May 2022, Danone North America introduced Activia+ Multi-Benefit probiotic yogurt drinks, containing live and active probiotics for gut health and vitamins C and D and zinc for immune system support.
Moreover, consumers in North America are increasingly skeptical of synthetic ingredients and processed foods, seeking natural alternatives for improving overall health and wellness. To meet the growing demand for organic and plant-based products, many companies are focused on introducing plant-based probiotic food products and expanding their existing product ranges. For instance, in August 2021, Pillars Yogurt launched Pillars Plant, an organic coconut probiotic yogurt, which is available in Wegmans and Central Market.
Overall, as consumers become more informed about the benefits of maintaining gut health and preventing chronic and other diseases, as well as the increasing trend of plant-based and organic probiotic food products, the demand for probiotic food products continues to rise. Thus, rising awareness regarding preventive health among consumers fuels the North America probiotic food products market growth.
