Probiotics are live microorganisms which help maintain the balance of organisms in the host animal’s intestines. When administered in adequate amounts they bestow health benefits and provide protection against diseases. Probiotics can be formulated into different types of products such as foods, dietary supplements and drugs. In dietary supplements, probiotics can be used in capsule, tablet or powder form. Species of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus are most commonly used probiotics, but some bacillus and E. coli species and yeast are also used as probiotics. Probiotics related products are also available for animal feed. The key reasons for the success of probiotics fortified foods in these markets are increasing awareness about their potency and efficacy and willingness of customers to pay extra for healthy products. Nowadays, a growing number of people do not enjoy good gut health, as is indicated by the high prevalence of functional disorders and organic gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in the western world. Following the aftermath of globalization, changing lifestyles of the people in developed as well as emerging economies have resulted in change in food habits. Increasing consumption of high sodium content foods and lifestyle trends have resulted in gut health emerging as one of the top health concerns on a global level. Consumption of probiotics has grown across the world in order to improve gut health.
Increasing consumption of yogurt and growing concerns over digestive and gut health are the major factors driving demand for probiotics. The probiotics market is concentrated in Japan, the U.S. and Western Europe, where demand for probiotics has been traditionally strong. Consumer spending power has increased manifold in Asia Pacific due to rapid economic growth in the region. This has resulted in a sharp rise in revenues in the probiotics industry. Growing demand for probiotics products across the world has translated into increased R&D spending and new product developments over the last three years.


Consumers in North America are gradually adopting these products and this market is estimated to grow at a steadier rate in the near future. North America is expected to account for more than 20% share of the overall probiotics market during the forecast period. A large number of people in North America suffer from digestive issues. Probiotics are well known for their digestive health claims. This is expected to trigger demand for all kinds of probiotic food in the near future. The U.S. and Canada are the major markets for probiotics in North America, due to growing consumption of functional food among health conscious consumers.

Anticipating the future growth potential of the animal feed probiotics market, BioMar is all set for the launch of its first animal feed probiotics product.

In terms of revenue, the probiotics market in Asia Pacific was the largest in the world in 2014 and is expected to keep growing at a quick pace.
