Prebiotics
are fibers that provide an essential feed source for the necessary
bacteria which contribute to the well-being of the colon, which are
found in the human gut. Prebiotics are found in natural foods such as
bananas, wheat bran, onions, leek, garlic, and food products such as
cereals, table spreads, breads, biscuits, and yoghurts. They help in
maintaining the well-being of the human body and are thus,
increasingly appealing to the health conscious population. Prebiotics
ensure enhanced immunity and alleviate digestion problems, which is
also driving their demand.

Overview
of the Prebiotics Market
The
rising concerns among consumers regarding their health and growing
emphasis on improving digestive health are together responsible for
the growth of the prebiotics market. Growing concerns regarding
obesity are also helping the market to grow, as sales of functional
foods or supplements which have prebiotics in them are growing.
Prebiotics face high demand from the food and beverage industry, thus
boosting the market. The global
prebiotics market is estimated to reach US$15.90 bn by 2019
according to a research report published by Transparency Market
Research.
The
rising use of prebiotics in animal feed to enhance the overall health
and metabolism of animals is expected to result in a significant
growth of the market worldwide. Prebiotics are used in cattle feed to
improve their digestion, performance, and immune system. Other
factors augmenting the growth of the market are the rising use of
prebiotics in poultry feed to improve productivity and growing
dependence on animals as a source of protein. On the other hand, high
capital investments required for the research and development of
ingredients are hindering the growth of the market. The market is
also challenged by stringent regulations for the registration and
labeling of new ingredients, which is extensively prevalent in
European countries and also in the U.S.
By
geography, the global prebiotics market is segmented into Europe,
Asia Pacific, North America, and the Rest of the World. Of these, the
market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand significantly in the
coming years owing to high demand from developed nations such as
Japan and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. The sedentary
lifestyle of the younger population is also expected to fuel the
demand for prebiotics in the region.
